FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
The Saucony Progrid Paramount trainers are designed with a lifestyle-first aesthetic, drawing inspiration from running heritage. While they offer comfort and some support, they are best suited for casual wear, walking, and light activities, rather than intense or competitive running.
How do I determine my correct UK size?
Refer to the sizing chart provided by Saucony or the retailer. Generally, measure your foot length from heel to toe and compare it with the UK sizing equivalents. Ensure you are wearing the type of socks you would normally wear with trainers when measuring.
What is the ProGrid cushioning?
ProGrid is Saucony's cushioning technology designed to provide a responsive and comfortable feel. It aims to absorb impact and offer a smooth transition through your stride, enhancing comfort during wear.
Can these trainers be machine washed?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. Machine washing can damage the materials, cushioning, and adhesives. Hand wash using the care instructions provided.
What does 'Arch Lock medial support' mean?
Arch Lock medial support is a feature designed to hug the arch of your foot from the inside, providing a secure and supportive fit. This helps to enhance stability and comfort, particularly during movement.
How do I care for the mesh upper?
Gently clean the mesh upper with a damp cloth. For more persistent dirt, use a soft brush with a mild soap and water solution, then wipe clean with a damp cloth. Allow to air dry.
What is the main difference between this and a dedicated running shoe?
Dedicated running shoes are engineered for specific running performance, often with advanced cushioning systems, specialized outsoles for traction, and lightweight constructions optimized for speed and impact. The Progrid Paramount focuses on blending retro style with everyday comfort and support for lifestyle use.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. If still tight, wear with thin socks initially and allow the materials to adapt to your foot shape over a few wears. Consider using a shoe stretcher if persistent.
Uneven wear on the outsole
Examine your walking gait. If the wear is uneven and causing discomfort or instability, consult a footwear professional. Ensure the shoes are not being used for activities beyond their intended lifestyle purpose.
Dirt trapped in mesh or sole
Use a soft brush (like an old toothbrush) with a mild soap and water solution to gently dislodge dirt from mesh areas and sole grooves. Rinse with a damp cloth.
Reflective details losing effectiveness
Reflective details can degrade over time with wear and washing. Clean them gently with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive scrubbing that could damage the reflective coating.

Care: To maintain the appearance and longevity of your trainers:
- Cleaning the Upper: Gently wipe the mesh and synthetic overlay areas with a damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush, then wipe clean with a damp cloth.
- Cleaning the Midsole/Outsole: Use a damp cloth to wipe away dirt from the ProGrid midsole and rubber outsole. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
