Extended Product Information
FAQs
Are these shoes fully waterproof?
Yes, they feature a Gore-Tex membrane designed to block water while remaining breathable.
Can I use these for road running?
While they can handle occasional road stretches, they are specifically optimized for trail running and will perform best on uneven surfaces.
How do I ensure the right fit?
The Saucony Guide TR GTX is designed for a secure, locked-in fit; verify your standard athletic shoe size and ensure there is a thumb-width of space in the toe box.
Should I wear thick socks with these?
You can, but the internal volume is designed for standard running socks. Avoid overly thick socks if they cause pressure points across the top of the foot.
Can I wash these in a washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the waterproof Gore-Tex barrier and the structural support of the trainer.
Troubleshooting
Feeling of moisture inside despite Gore-Tex
Ensure that water is not entering through the ankle collar by wearing proper trail gaiters or waterproof running socks.
Difficulty cleaning off dried mud
Use a soft-bristled brush once the mud has fully dried to gently knock debris off the mesh and synthetic overlays.
Stiff sensation upon first use
Wear the shoes for shorter walks or light jogs to allow the upper materials and midsole cushioning to break in comfortably.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longest lifespan, verify you have chosen the correct UK size for your foot width. When cleaning your shoes after a muddy run, remove dried dirt with a soft brush rather than submerging the shoes in water or using harsh detergents. Avoid machine washing or tumble drying, as high heat can compromise the integrity of the Gore-Tex membrane and the shoe's adhesives. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain material elasticity.
