FAQs

Are the Saucony Shadow 6000 suitable for serious running?

The Shadow 6000 is designed for retro style and comfort, making it ideal for casual wear and light activities. For serious or high-mileage running, dedicated performance running shoes are recommended.

How do I determine my correct UK shoe size?

Refer to the brand's sizing chart or measure your foot length from heel to toe and compare it with the provided size guide. The description specifies this model is a UK 12.

Can I machine wash these trainers?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials (leather, suede, mesh) and the cushioning system.

What is the 'Plein Air' mesh?

'Plein Air' mesh is a type of breathable mesh material used in the upper construction to allow for better air circulation.

How do I clean the suede parts of the shoe?

Use a dedicated suede brush to remove dry dirt and restore the nap. For tougher stains, a suede cleaner or eraser can be used sparingly, followed by brushing.

What does 'EVA midsole' mean?

EVA (Ethylene-vinyl acetate) is a foam-like material commonly used in shoe midsoles for its lightweight, cushioning, and shock-absorbing properties.

Is this shoe available in other colors?

While this guide focuses on the Blue colorway (MPN S70441-88), the Shadow 6000 model has been released in various colors over time. Please check product listings for current availability.

Troubleshooting

Squeaking sound from shoes

This can sometimes occur due to friction between shoe components. Try wearing thicker socks or applying talcum powder inside the shoe.

Discomfort or pressure points

Ensure you have the correct size. If the issue persists, consider using insoles or breaking the shoes in gradually with shorter periods of wear.

Suede material appearing dull

Use a suede brush to restore the texture and nap. For stubborn marks, consult specific suede cleaning products.
