FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for marathon training?
They are well-suited for training runs, though marathon runners should assess the shoe's cushioning profile against their own preference for distance-specific support.
How often should I replace these trainers?
Generally, running shoes should be replaced every 300 to 500 miles, depending on the surface and your running intensity.
Can I use these for gym workouts?
While primarily designed for running, their stable base makes them acceptable for light gym use, such as treadmill workouts or low-impact strength training.
Are they waterproof?
No, the shoes feature a breathable mesh designed for airflow, which means they are not water-resistant.
Do these run true to size?
They generally follow standard athletic sizing, but it is recommended to measure your foot and check the specific size guide provided.
Troubleshooting
Foot slipping inside the shoe
Try using the 'runner's loop' or heel-lock lacing technique to increase tension around the ankle.
Build-up of dirt in the tread
Use a stiff, dry brush to dislodge debris from the rubber grooves after your workout.
Unpleasant odor
Sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes overnight or use a dedicated moisture-wicking shoe insert.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Saucony Progrid Guide 7 trainers, it is essential to follow basic maintenance practices. Start by ensuring you have the correct UK size, as the structure is designed for a specific fit; if you wear custom orthotics, ensure they fit within the internal volume before your first run. After training in wet conditions, remove the insoles and stuff the shoes with paper to draw out moisture and maintain their shape. Avoid putting these trainers in a washing machine, as the high-heat cycles and agitation can degrade the Progrid foam integrity. Clean the exterior surface using a soft brush and a mild soap-and-water solution, then air-dry away from direct heat sources like radiators.
