FAQs
What type of runner is the Progrid Guide 7 best suited for?
The Progrid Guide 7 is ideal for runners who need mild stability support, such as those with slight overpronation, and who are looking for a lightweight shoe with good cushioning for daily training.
How does the Progrid Guide 7 differ from a neutral trainer?
The Progrid Guide 7 incorporates stability features to help control mild pronation, whereas a neutral trainer is designed for runners with a neutral gait who do not require extra stability.
Can I use the Progrid Guide 7 for racing?
While it offers a lightweight feel, it is primarily designed for daily training. For faster races, you might prefer a lighter, more performance-oriented racing flat.
What is the expected lifespan of these trainers?
The lifespan varies depending on mileage, running style, and terrain, but typically, trainers like these are recommended to be replaced every 300-500 miles (500-800 km) or when cushioning and support feel diminished.
Are these trainers waterproof?
No, the Progrid Guide 7 trainers are not waterproof. They are designed for breathability and comfort during runs, which means they will allow some water ingress in very wet conditions.
What is the primary benefit of the Progrid technology?
The Progrid technology aims to provide shock absorption and a smoother transition from heel strike to toe-off, contributing to a more comfortable and efficient run.
Troubleshooting
Slight discomfort on initial wear
This is normal as the shoes break in. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase duration.
Reduced traction on wet surfaces
The outsole is designed for varied conditions, but extreme wetness may reduce grip. Ensure the outsole is clean; dirt can impede traction.
Feeling too much stability
If you are a neutral runner, you might find the stability features unnecessary. Consider a neutral shoe model for your next purchase.
