Troubleshooting
Outer material showing surface scuffs
Gently buff the affected area with a specialized suede or textile eraser brush.
Insole feels less supportive over time
Consider replacing the stock insert with an aftermarket orthotic insole if additional arch support is required.
Laces coming untied frequently
Use a double-knot or consider a 'heel-lock' lacing technique to increase lockdown security.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Saucony ProGrid Guide 7 trainers remain in top condition, follow these guidelines:
- Fit Check: Ensure the toe box has about a thumb's width of space to allow for natural foot swelling during the day.
- Care: Clean the exterior using a soft-bristled brush to remove surface dust. For deeper stains, use a mild soap and a damp cloth; avoid submerging the shoes in water or placing them in a washing machine.
- Storage: Keep the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading and material degradation of the midsole.
- Rotation: To extend the life of the cushioning, allow the shoes to air out for 24 hours between heavy usage days.
