FAQs
Are the Saucony ProGrid Omni 9 trainers suitable for serious running?
While the ProGrid Omni 9 offers good comfort and support, it is primarily designed as a lifestyle trainer with a nod to its running heritage. For dedicated high-mileage or competitive running, modern specialized running shoes might offer more advanced performance features.
What is the main difference between the original ProGrid Omni 9 and this reissue?
The reissue aims to redefine comfort for modern wear while retaining the original's aesthetic. Minor updates may have been made to materials or cushioning for contemporary comfort, but the core design and style remain faithful to the 2010 release.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Refer to the sizing chart provided by the retailer. Generally, trainers should fit snugly at the heel, with enough room in the toe box to wiggle your toes. Ensure there is no excessive pressure on any part of your foot.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
It is not recommended to machine wash trainers as it can damage the materials, adhesives, and structure of the shoe. Hand washing with a damp cloth and mild soap is the preferred method for cleaning.
What kind of socks are best to wear with these trainers?
Any comfortable socks suitable for trainers will work. Consider moisture-wicking materials for added comfort during longer wear or physical activity. The color of your socks might be a consideration due to potential dye transfer from darker shoe colors.
What does 'ProGrid' refer to in the shoe's name?
'ProGrid' refers to Saucony's cushioning and stability technology, designed to provide a responsive and supportive ride.
Troubleshooting
Initial tightness or discomfort
New trainers, especially those with a heritage design, may require a break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time. Ensure the laces are adjusted correctly for a snug but not overly tight fit.
Slight squeaking sound
Squeaks can sometimes occur due to friction between different parts of the shoe or with the floor surface. Try applying a small amount of talcum powder or cornstarch inside the shoe or between the sole and insole if accessible. If the squeak persists, it may be due to the shoe's construction.
Color transfer from shoe to socks
Some dyes, especially in new or brightly colored footwear, may transfer slightly onto socks. This is often more noticeable with dark or colored socks. Washing socks before the first wear can sometimes help. If the issue is significant, consider limiting wear with very light-colored socks.
