FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The ProGrid Guide 7 is designed with a standard fit. While they offer comfort, individuals with particularly wide feet might find them snug. It is recommended to try them on if possible or consider socks that are not too thick.
What type of running are these trainers best for?
These trainers are best suited for everyday running, offering a balance of protection and comfort. They are ideal for road running and general training sessions.
How do I clean the mesh material?
For the mesh material, use a soft brush with a mild soap and water solution to gently scrub away dirt. Wipe clean with a damp cloth and allow to air dry.
What is the main difference between this retro model and modern trainers?
This retro model emphasizes a classic cushioning and support system from the 2000s, combined with a distinct vintage aesthetic. Modern trainers often feature updated materials, advanced cushioning technologies, and contemporary designs.
Can these be worn for long-distance running?
While they provide good comfort and protection, their design is more aligned with everyday training rather than specialized long-distance marathon running. For very long distances, newer models with advanced cushioning might offer superior benefits.
What does 'ProGrid' refer to?
ProGrid is Saucony's proprietary cushioning technology, designed to provide shock absorption and a smooth transition from heel to toe.
Is this shoe suitable for pronation support?
The Guide series typically offers some level of stability. However, for specific pronation control needs, it's best to consult with a running specialist to ensure this model meets your requirements.
Troubleshooting
Discomfort or rubbing during wear
Ensure you have the correct size and fit. Break in the shoes gradually with shorter wear periods. Check socks for any seams that might be causing irritation.
Reduced cushioning over time
Cushioning naturally degrades with extensive use. Consider replacing the shoes if they have accumulated significant mileage or if comfort is noticeably reduced.
Slight color transfer on light socks
This can occasionally happen with new footwear, especially darker colors. Washing socks before first wear might help. Ensure the shoes are fully dry before wearing.

Care: To maintain the quality and appearance of your Saucony ProGrid Guide 7 Trainers:
- Cleaning: Gently clean the exterior with a damp cloth. For tougher spots, use a mild soap and water solution. Avoid machine washing, as this can damage the shoe's structure.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can cause the materials to shrink or warp.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
