FAQs

Are the Saucony Shadow 6000 suitable for running?

While inspired by classic running shoes, the Shadow 6000 is best suited for casual wear and light athletic activities. For high-mileage or performance running, consider Saucony's dedicated running shoe lines.

How do I determine my correct size?

Refer to the size chart provided by the retailer or Saucony. Generally, measure your foot length and compare it to the UK sizing. Many users find they fit true to size, but trying them on if possible is recommended.

What is the primary material of the upper?

The upper is constructed from 'Plein Air' mesh with suede overlays, offering a combination of breathability and a premium look.

How should I clean the suede parts?

Use a specialized suede brush to remove dry dirt. For tougher stains, use a slightly damp cloth with mild soap, blotting gently, and always air dry. Avoid excessive moisture.

What type of cushioning system is used?

The trainers feature an EVA midsole and an Ionic Cushioning System for balanced support and shock absorption.

Are these trainers waterproof?

No, the materials (mesh and suede) are not inherently waterproof. While a protector spray can offer some resistance, they are not designed for use in wet conditions.

What is the main benefit of the outsole design?

The triangularly lugged rubber outsole is designed to provide reliable grip and traction on a variety of surfaces.

Troubleshooting

Unusual squeaking noise

This can sometimes occur due to friction between the insole and midsole. Try removing the insole, cleaning both surfaces, and reinserting it. Ensure the laces are not tied too tightly.

Reduced cushioning feel over time

The EVA midsole's cushioning properties may naturally decrease with extensive use. For optimal comfort, consider replacing the sock liner or ensuring the shoes are not being used for activities exceeding their intended purpose.

Suede material looks dull or dirty

Use a suede brush to restore the nap. For stains, consult specific suede cleaning guides and products, testing on an inconspicuous area first.

Grip feels less effective

Clean the outsole thoroughly to remove any embedded dirt or debris that may be reducing traction. Check the tread pattern for excessive wear.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Saucony Shadow 6000 trainers require no setup; they are ready to wear straight out of the box.

Compatibility: These trainers are designed for unisex adult use and are compatible with a wide range of casual apparel. They are suitable for various everyday activities.

Care:

  1. Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt from the suede and mesh. For stains, use a slightly damp cloth and mild soap on the suede, blotting gently. Avoid soaking the shoes.
  2. Cleaning the Midsole and Outsole: Wipe with a damp cloth. For tougher marks on the rubber outsole, a gentle cleaner can be used.
  3. Laces: Remove laces for separate cleaning, either by hand-washing or machine washing in a garment bag.
  4. Drying: Always air dry the trainers. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as this can damage the materials, especially the suede.
  5. Protection: Consider using a suede protector spray to help guard against water and stains.
