FAQs

Are the Saucony Shadow 6000 suitable for running?

The Shadow 6000 are inspired by high-mileage running shoes from 1991 and offer good cushioning for comfort. However, they are primarily designed for lifestyle and casual wear today, not for serious athletic training or running.

What materials are the Saucony Shadow 6000 made of?

These trainers feature a combination of suede and leather for the upper, an EVA midsole for cushioning, and a rubber outsole with triangular lugs for traction.

How should I clean the suede parts of the trainers?

Use a soft suede brush to remove dry dirt. For stains, a specialized suede cleaner or a slightly damp cloth is recommended. Avoid soaking the suede.

Do these trainers run true to size?

Generally, Saucony trainers are known to fit true to size. However, individual fit can vary. It's recommended to consult size charts and consider trying them on if possible.

What is the warranty period for Saucony trainers?

Saucony typically offers a limited warranty against manufacturing defects. Please refer to the official Saucony website or your retailer for specific warranty details as they can vary.

Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?

While the materials offer some protection, they are not waterproof. The suede can be susceptible to water damage and staining. It's best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions.

What is the 'Ionic Cushioning System'?

The Ionic Cushioning System is a technology used by Saucony to provide shock absorption and comfort, designed to evenly distribute impact forces during wear.

Troubleshooting

Squeaking sound when walking

This can sometimes occur due to friction within the shoe's components. Try wearing thicker socks or ensuring the insoles are properly seated.

Discomfort after initial wear

New shoes may require a break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time. Ensure the lacing is not too tight.

Suede looks dull or dirty

Use a suede brush to restore the nap. For stubborn marks, employ a specialized suede cleaner following product instructions. Protect with a suede protector spray.

Traction feels less effective on wet surfaces

While the triangular lugs offer good grip, performance on very wet surfaces can be reduced. Ensure the outsole is clean and free from mud or debris.
