FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for marathon running?
The Progrid Guide 7 is lightweight and designed for speed, making it excellent for shorter to mid-distance races. For full marathons, consider if the level of cushioning meets your personal needs for extended mileage.
Can I use these for cross-training or gym workouts?
While they offer stability, their primary design is for running. For dedicated gym workouts involving heavy lifting or lateral movements, specialized training shoes might be more appropriate.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe when standing. The heel should feel secure without slipping, and the midfoot should be comfortably snug.
What is the expected lifespan of these trainers?
The lifespan depends on usage frequency, intensity, and surface type. For regular runners, they typically last between 300-500 miles before significant wear affects performance.
Are these trainers waterproof?
No, the Progrid Guide 7 features a breathable mesh upper which is not waterproof. They are designed for ventilation and will allow water to pass through.
What type of arch support do they offer?
The Progrid Guide 7 offers support suitable for neutral runners and those with mild pronation, providing a stable platform without being overly corrective.
Troubleshooting
Slipping sensation during runs
Ensure laces are tied correctly and provide a snug fit. Check if the outsole is worn down; if so, consider replacement.
Feet feeling too hot
Confirm that the mesh upper is clear of debris. Consider using thinner, moisture-wicking socks.
Discomfort or rubbing
Verify the shoe size and width are appropriate. Break in the shoes gradually with shorter runs.
Reduced grip on wet surfaces
While designed for reliable grip, extreme wet conditions can reduce traction. Use caution and consider alternative footwear for very slippery surfaces.
