FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for marathon running?
While the ProGrid Guide 7 offers good protection and comfort, they are best suited for daily training and shorter to mid-distance runs. For marathons, you might consider models with more advanced, long-distance cushioning technologies.
How do I know if I have the right size?
There should be about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe when standing. The heel should feel secure without slipping, and the midfoot should feel comfortably snug.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers, as it can degrade the adhesives and materials. Hand washing with mild soap and water is the preferred method.
What is the main difference between the ProGrid Guide 7 and modern Saucony trainers?
The ProGrid Guide 7 focuses on a classic design and a balanced blend of protection and comfort. Modern trainers may incorporate lighter materials, more advanced sole technologies, and different fit systems.
How often should I replace my Saucony ProGrid Guide 7 trainers?
For running, it's generally recommended to replace them every 300-500 miles, or when you notice a significant decrease in cushioning or support. For casual wear, they will last longer depending on usage.
Are these shoes good for people with flat feet?
The 'Guide' series typically offers some level of stability support, which can be beneficial for runners who overpronate or have flatter arches. However, it's always best to consult with a running specialist for personalized advice.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you have the correct UK size. Try wearing them with thinner athletic socks. If the issue persists after a break-in period, they may not be the right fit for your foot shape.
Reduced cushioning or support over time
Running shoes have a lifespan. If you notice a significant decrease in cushioning after considerable mileage (typically 300-500 miles), it may be time to consider replacing them.
Material scuffing or damage
Avoid exposing the shoes to abrasive surfaces or harsh conditions. Clean gently as per care instructions to prevent further damage.
