FAQs
What makes the Saucony ProGrid Guide 7 different from other Saucony trainers?
The ProGrid Guide 7 is a retro re-release designed with a focus on enhanced foot protection and comfort, reminiscent of early 2000s running shoe standards. It offers more protection than models like the Ride.
Is this shoe suitable for marathon running?
The Guide 7 provides good cushioning and protection, making it suitable for longer runs. However, for elite marathoners or those seeking the absolute latest in performance technology, newer models might offer more advanced features.
Can I wear these shoes for everyday casual use?
Yes, the ProGrid Guide 7 offers comfort and a stylish retro aesthetic, making it a great choice for daily wear and casual activities.
How do I know if the UK size 5.5 is the right fit?
A UK size 5.5 is designed for a specific foot length. It's recommended to try them on if possible or compare with a well-fitting shoe. Ensure there is enough room in the toe box without the heel slipping.
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, these are trainers designed for running and general wear, not for waterproofing. They are not suitable for wet conditions.
What is the primary benefit of the 'ProGrid' technology mentioned in the name?
While specific details on 'ProGrid' for this model are limited in the provided information, it generally refers to Saucony's cushioning and stability systems designed to provide a smooth and protected ride.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure the laces are adjusted properly, not tied too tightly. Check if the size is correct; consider using thinner socks if needed.
Slight squeaking sound when walking
This can sometimes occur due to moisture or friction between shoe components. Try wearing them for a bit longer, or if persistent, a small amount of talcum powder in the insole area might help.
Reduced cushioning effect over time
The cushioning may naturally decrease with extended use. Ensure the shoes are being used for their intended purpose (running/walking) and not subjected to excessive wear and tear.
