FAQs

Is the Saucony Progrid Guide 7 suitable for long-distance running?

While it features original running DNA, it is best suited for daily wear and moderate activity. For professional-level marathon running, modern specialized shoes may provide more advanced energy return.

How do I ensure the correct size?

These are listed in UK adult sizing. We recommend measuring your foot at the end of the day when it is at its largest to ensure a proper fit.

Can I replace the insoles?

Yes, the insoles are removable if you prefer to use your own custom orthotics.

Are these machine washable?

No, machine washing can compromise the structural integrity and the materials. Stick to spot cleaning.

What does the ProGrid label mean?

ProGrid is the foundational technology that Saucony used in this series to ensure a stable and protective ride for the foot.

Troubleshooting

Breathability feels reduced over time

Check the mesh upper for debris or dust buildup; clean gently with a soft brush to clear the pores.

Laces coming undone frequently

Ensure you are using a double-knot or a runner's loop, as the original laces are designed for retro accuracy rather than modern high-friction materials.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Saucony Progrid Guide 7 trainers last, follow these maintenance tips:

  1. Fit: The unisex sizing requires a careful check against standard UK sizes. Ensure you have about a thumb's width of space at the front of the shoe.
  2. Cleaning: Gently brush off dried mud with a soft-bristled brush. Use a damp cloth with mild soap for spot cleaning the upper mesh; avoid full immersion in water.
  3. Drying: Air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can damage the adhesives and synthetic materials.
  4. Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to prevent the color-ways from fading over time.
