FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for marathon running?
The ProGrid V2 is designed for balanced performance and versatility, suitable for moderate mileage. For marathon-specific needs, runners might consider shoes with more advanced, specialized cushioning and support systems.
How do I clean the trainers?
Spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. For a deeper clean, hand wash with cool water and a soft brush, then air dry away from direct heat. Do not machine wash.
What is the intended use for the ProGrid V2?
They are designed for adults who balance running mileage with strength training. They are also suitable for general fitness activities and casual, everyday wear.
Do these trainers come in other colors?
The product information indicates this specific model is in the Black/Silver colorway. Please check with retailers for availability of other colors or previous releases.
What does 'ProGrid' refer to?
ProGrid typically refers to Saucony's cushioning technology, designed to provide a responsive and cushioned ride by absorbing impact and reducing stress on the body.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe. The heel should feel secure without slipping, and the forefoot should have room to move comfortably. Refer to Saucony's official size chart for guidance.
Can I wear these for high-intensity interval training (HIIT)?
Yes, the ProGrid V2 offers sufficient stability for many HIIT movements. However, for activities involving significant lateral cuts or jumping, ensure the shoe provides the necessary ankle support and traction for your specific routine.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose.
Adjust the lacing pattern. For tightness, loosen the laces. For looseness, tighten them more uniformly, ensuring the heel is secured. If persistent, consider the fit with different sock thicknesses or consult sizing guides for alternative sizes.
Slight discomfort during initial wear.
This is common with new footwear. Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow them to break in. Ensure socks are appropriate for the shoe's fit.
Reduced cushioning or responsiveness over time.
The midsole cushioning can degrade with extensive use. Consider replacing the shoes if they are significantly worn, typically after several hundred miles of running or prolonged periods of daily wear.
Laces fraying or breaking.
Replace the laces with a similar length and type. Avoid over-tightening laces, which can stress the eyelets and the lace material.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
These trainers require no specific setup. Ensure they are the correct size for a comfortable fit. Lace them up snugly before each use to achieve the best support and stability.
Compatibility:
The ProGrid V2 is designed as a unisex adult trainer. It is compatible with various athletic activities and casual wear. It is not specifically designed for highly specialized sports (e.g., rock climbing, professional track racing).
Care:
- Cleaning: Spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap for minor dirt. For deeper cleaning, remove laces and insoles, then hand wash with cool water and a soft brush. Avoid machine washing or drying, as this can damage the materials.
- Drying: Air dry the trainers completely at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape during drying.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid storing in plastic bags, which can trap moisture. Rotating your trainers with other pairs can also extend their lifespan.
