FAQs

What is the primary purpose of the ProGrid Guide 7?

The ProGrid Guide 7 is designed for running, offering a balance of protection and comfort, with a distinctive retro aesthetic.

Are these shoes suitable for marathon running?

While comfortable for running, they are best suited for moderate distances and everyday training rather than elite marathon performance, as they prioritize classic design and comfort over the latest advanced racing technology.

How do I know if I have the right size?

Ensure there is a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe when standing. Your heel should feel secure without slipping.

Can I wear these shoes for gym workouts?

Yes, the cushioning and support make them suitable for general gym activities and cross-training, though they are specifically designed with running in mind.

What does 'ProGrid' refer to?

ProGrid is a cushioning technology developed by Saucony, designed to provide shock absorption and a smoother transition during the stride.

How does this retro re-release differ from the original 2000s version?

The re-release maintains the original running DNA, aesthetic, and focus on protection and comfort, updated with materials and manufacturing techniques appropriate for today while preserving the vintage feel.

What kind of arch support do these trainers offer?

The ProGrid Guide 7 is built on a foundation of protection and comfort, generally suitable for neutral runners, providing a balanced level of support.

Troubleshooting

Sizing feels incorrect

Refer to the Saucony sizing chart and ensure your foot measurements are accurate. Consider the intended use (e.g., thicker socks for running may require a slightly larger size).

Reduced cushioning over time

Running shoe cushioning naturally degrades with use. For optimal performance, consider replacing trainers after 300-500 miles or when cushioning feels significantly diminished.

Discoloration of material

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. Clean gently with a damp cloth as per care instructions to prevent staining.

Unusual squeaking noise

This can sometimes occur due to moisture trapped within the shoe. Ensure the shoes are completely dry. If the noise persists, try a light dusting of talcum powder inside.
