FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

Yes, the Progrid Ride 1 is generally considered to fit true to your standard adult UK shoe size.

Can I use these for running?

While originally a performance model, this archive release is intended for casual use; it is not recommended for high-intensity running.

What materials are used in the upper?

The upper features a mix of textile, synthetic elements, and distinct metallic geometric overlays.

How do I maintain the metallic overlays?

Avoid abrasive brushes. Use a gentle cloth dampened with water to wipe them down carefully.

Is this a unisex model?

The series is available in both gender-specific sizing and unisex variants depending on the specific colourway and release.

Troubleshooting

Creasing on the upper material

This is natural for this material type; use a shoe tree when not wearing to help maintain the original shape.

Difficulty keeping the white colour bright

Use a specialized sneaker cleaner for white trainers and avoid exposing them to mud or excessive outdoor debris.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Saucony Progrid Ride 1 trainers maintain their appearance, follow these care guidelines:

  1. Cleaning: Wipe the surface with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn marks on the metallic overlays, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush.
  2. Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent discolouration of the white base.
  3. Compatibility: These trainers feature a standard fit true to size. They pair well with casual denim, athletic leisurewear, or structured trousers for a contemporary look.
  4. Maintenance: Allow the trainers to air dry naturally if they become damp; avoid high-heat sources like radiators which can damage the foam and adhesive.
