FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for marathon running?
The ProGrid Guide 7 offers good cushioning and stability, making them suitable for marathon training and racing, especially for runners who benefit from support and protection over long distances.
What type of foot pronation do these shoes support?
These trainers are designed with stability features, suggesting they are best suited for mild to moderate overpronation, providing support to help control foot motion.
Can I use these for cross-training activities?
While comfortable, their primary design is for running. For activities requiring multi-directional support, dedicated cross-training shoes might be more appropriate.
How do I know if I have the right size?
There should be about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe when standing. The shoe should feel snug but not tight, with no heel slippage.
What is the expected lifespan of these trainers?
For running, the midsole cushioning typically lasts between 300-500 miles. For casual wear, they can last significantly longer depending on usage and care.
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, these trainers are not waterproof. They are designed for breathability, which means they will not keep your feet dry in wet conditions.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure you have the correct UK size. Try lacing them differently to adjust pressure points. If still uncomfortable after a few wears, consider if they are the right fit for your foot shape.
Reduced cushioning effect over time
The midsole cushioning may naturally compress with extensive use. Consider replacing the shoes if they have significantly lost their shock-absorbing properties, typically after 300-500 miles of running.
Slipping on wet surfaces
The outsole grip may be reduced on very wet or slick surfaces. Exercise caution and consider alternative footwear for extremely wet conditions.
Discoloration of fabric
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. Clean with appropriate mild cleaning agents for athletic footwear.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: Designed primarily for running and athletic activities. While comfortable for general wear, their specific construction is optimized for impact absorption and support during exercise.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Use a damp cloth or a soft brush to remove surface dirt. For deeper cleaning, use mild soap and cold water. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents, as this can damage the materials.
- Drying: Air dry the trainers away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid storing them in damp conditions to prevent odor and material degradation.
