FAQs
How do I know if I have the right size?
Ensure there is a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe. Your heel should feel secure without slipping, and the width should not cause pressure or discomfort.
Can these trainers be used for long-distance running?
The ProGrid V2 was designed for runners balancing mileage with strength training. While suitable for shorter to moderate runs (e.g., up to 10k), they may not provide the advanced cushioning and support required for marathon distances compared to specialized long-distance running shoes.
What is the main difference between the original ProGrid V2 and this re-release?
The re-released ProGrid V2 maintains the original silhouette and core design principles but features updated materials and elevated details for a more contemporary look and feel, while retaining its dual-purpose functionality.
Are these shoes waterproof?
The ProGrid V2 trainers are not designed to be waterproof. They are made with breathable materials for comfort during activity. They should be kept away from heavy rain or submersion in water.
How often should I clean my ProGrid V2 trainers?
Clean your trainers as needed, especially after significant use or exposure to dirt. Regular spot cleaning with a damp cloth will help maintain their appearance and material integrity.
What kind of socks are best to wear with these trainers?
Athletic socks made of moisture-wicking materials like polyester or wool blends are recommended for comfort and to help prevent blisters during workouts. For casual wear, standard cotton or blended socks work well.
Troubleshooting
Unusual squeaking sound
This can sometimes occur due to friction between shoe components. Try inserting a thin powder (like talcum powder) between the insole and midsole, or between the tongue and laces.
Foot discomfort or pressure points
Ensure you have the correct size and width. If the issue persists, consider using alternative insoles or consulting a shoe fitting specialist.
Reduced grip on smooth surfaces
The outsole may be worn or dirty. Clean the outsole thoroughly with water and a brush. If the tread is significantly worn down, replacement might be necessary.
Material feels stiff after getting wet
Allow the shoes to air dry completely away from heat. Once dry, gently flex the shoes to restore flexibility.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Use a soft brush or damp cloth to remove dirt and debris from the upper and midsole. Avoid harsh detergents or machine washing, as this can damage the materials.
