FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for long-distance running?

Yes, the ProGrid cushioning system is designed specifically to offer the impact protection required for consistent, mid-to-long distance performance.

Can I wear these for casual daily use?

Absolutely. The retro aesthetic and high level of comfort make them excellent for everyday lifestyle wear.

Are the shoes waterproof?

The mesh upper is breathable to prioritize ventilation, so they are not waterproof and may absorb water in heavy rain.

How do I ensure I get the right size?

These follow standard UK sizing; we recommend choosing the size you typically wear in standard athletic footwear brands.

Are the reflective details permanent?

The reflective elements are integrated into the design and are intended to last for the life of the shoe, though they should be wiped clean of dirt to maintain maximum reflectivity.

Troubleshooting

Feeling of slipping inside the shoe

Adjust your lacing pattern using the top eyelets to secure the heel more firmly against the padded collar.

Mesh becoming dirty after trail use

Allow the mud to dry completely before brushing it off, then wipe with a damp cloth; avoid scrubbing aggressively to protect the mesh fibers.

Cushioning feels less responsive over time

Foam compression is a natural part of use; ensure you allow 24 hours of rest between intense training sessions to let the materials recover.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Saucony ProGrid Guide 7 trainers maintain their structure and performance over time, follow these guidelines:

  1. Sizing: These shoes fit standard adult sizing. Ensure you wear your preferred athletic socks when trying them on to account for the internal padding.
  2. Lacing: Use the eyelets to customize the lockdown; the internal structure is designed to hold your midfoot firmly if tightened correctly.
  3. Cleaning: Hand wash using mild soap and cool water. Use a soft brush to remove dirt from the mesh upper. Never machine wash or tumble dry, as heat can damage the ProGrid foam and structural adhesives.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent premature material degradation and colour fading.
