FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for running?

While inspired by running DNA, the ProGrid Paramount is designed primarily for lifestyle and casual wear. For dedicated running performance, consider Saucony's specialized running shoe lines.

What does 'Y2K design' mean in this context?

Y2K design refers to the fashion and aesthetic trends popular around the year 2000, particularly the early 2000s. For these trainers, it means a specific retro style inspired by footwear from that era, such as the 2007 release.

How should I clean the mesh upper?

Use a soft brush or cloth with mild soap and water. Gently scrub the mesh and rinse with a clean damp cloth. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents.

Can I remove the internal fabric cage?

The internal fabric cage is integrated into the shoe's structure for support and is not designed to be removed.

What is the main difference between this and modern running shoes?

Modern running shoes often feature advanced cushioning technologies, specialized support systems, and lighter materials optimized for high-impact performance. The ProGrid Paramount focuses on retro style and everyday comfort.

Are these trainers unisex?

Yes, the ProGrid Paramount trainers are designed with a unisex fit, suitable for individuals regardless of gender.

What is the material of the sole?

The product information does not specify the exact sole material, but it is designed for durable everyday wear and traction.

Troubleshooting

Fit feels too tight or loose

Adjust the lacing pattern. Try different lacing techniques or ensure you have selected the correct size. If the issue persists, consider using thicker or thinner socks.

Mesh material feels stiff

The open air mesh is designed for breathability. Wear the shoes with socks to allow them to mold to your feet over time. Gentle flexing and wear will help soften the material.

Discoloration on the exterior

Wipe the affected area with a clean, damp cloth using mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals. For stubborn marks, use a specialized shoe cleaner suitable for mesh and synthetic materials.
