FAQs
What is the main purpose of the Saucony Matrix trainers?
The Saucony Matrix trainers were designed to be versatile, bridging the gap between lifestyle and performance footwear. They offer comfort and style for everyday wear while incorporating performance-oriented technology.
How do I determine the correct size?
Refer to the sizing chart provided by Saucony or consult the specific size guide for this model. It's recommended to measure your foot and compare it to the UK sizing provided.
Are these shoes suitable for running marathons?
While the Matrix trainers offer good cushioning, they are primarily designed for lifestyle and light athletic use. For marathon running, specialized running shoes with more advanced support and cushioning features are recommended.
Can I machine wash the Matrix trainers?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials and construction of the trainers. Hand wash using a mild soap and water solution.
What does 'GRID technology' mean?
GRID technology is Saucony's cushioning system designed to provide stability and shock absorption. It helps distribute impact forces evenly for a more comfortable ride.
How should I store my trainers when not in use?
Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape and prolong their lifespan.
What is the origin of the Matrix design?
The Matrix trainers were first released in 1999 as Saucony's response to the question of whether they were a lifestyle or performance brand, aiming to answer 'yes' to both with modern materials and classic design cues.
Troubleshooting
Slight discomfort upon first wear
This is common as shoes break in. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time. Ensure the correct size is being worn.
Reduced cushioning over time
The GRID technology may compress with extensive use. Ensure the shoes are kept clean and dry. If cushioning significantly degrades, it may be time to consider replacement.
Material discoloration
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or harsh chemicals. Clean with a damp cloth and mild soap, then air dry.
