Are these shoes true to size?

Can I use these for marathon running?
These are primarily a retro lifestyle re-release; while they feature original running DNA, modern technical trainers offer more advanced performance features for long-distance racing.
Are these machine washable?
It is not recommended to machine wash these shoes, as the heat and agitation can damage the structural integrity and adhesives.

They feature a mix of durable synthetic overlays and breathable mesh panels, consistent with 2000s athletic design.
Are they unisex?

Troubleshooting
The shoe feels too tight across the midfoot
Try adjusting the lacing pattern to a 'window' or 'gap' lacing technique to relieve pressure on the top of the foot.
Slight slippage in the heel area
Use the extra top eyelet to create a 'runner's loop' or 'heel lock' lacing method to secure the heel firmly in the cup.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Saucony ProGrid Guide 7 sneakers remain in top condition, follow these simple care guidelines:
- Fit Check: Ensure you have a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe to allow for natural foot swelling during the day.
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristle brush to remove dry dirt from the mesh and synthetic overlays. For deeper stains, use a mild soap mixed with water and a soft cloth; avoid submerging the shoes fully in water.
- Drying: Air dry your sneakers in a cool, well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can warp materials or degrade adhesives.
- Storage: Keep them in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to prevent color fading and material aging.
