Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or loose

Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. Refer to the Saucony sizing guide for accurate measurements. Lacing techniques can also be adjusted for a more personalized fit.

Discoloration on the grey material

Clean gently with a damp cloth. If the discoloration is from a spill, address it immediately. Avoid exposing the shoes to prolonged direct sunlight, which can fade colors.
