FAQs
What is the primary inspiration behind the Saucony Guide 7 design?
The design is inspired by early 2000s Saucony stability trainers and incorporates elements from Y2K-era technology and aesthetics, in collaboration with the brand 3Sixteen.
Are these trainers suitable for running or athletic training?
While originally a stability trainer, the modern iteration of the Guide 7 is primarily a lifestyle shoe. It offers comfort for daily wear and light activities but may not provide the specialized support required for rigorous athletic training.
What materials are used in the construction of the Guide 7?
The trainers feature luxurious hairy suede, smooth nubuck, and breathable triangle mesh on the uppers, with a ProGrid cushioned midsole and a lugged rubber outsole.
How should I clean the suede and nubuck parts of the trainers?
Use a soft brush to remove dry dirt. For stains, use a specialized suede cleaner, following the product's instructions and testing in an inconspicuous area first. Avoid excessive moisture.
Does the shoe come with different lace options?
Yes, the trainers include two pairs of laces: one tonal pair and one contrast pair, allowing for customization of the look.
What is the purpose of the co-branded hits?
The co-branded hits on the footbeds acknowledge the collaboration between Saucony and the brand 3Sixteen.
What is the benefit of the ProGrid cushioning?
ProGrid cushioning in the midsole is designed to provide exceptional comfort and support for everyday wear.
Troubleshooting
Suede material looks dull or stained.
Gently brush the suede with a suede brush to restore its nap. For stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner and follow the product's instructions. Test any cleaner on an inconspicuous area first.
Shoelaces are dirty.
Remove the laces and hand wash them with mild soap and water. Allow them to air dry completely before re-inserting.
Slight discomfort during initial wear.
This is common with new footwear. Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow them to break in and conform to your feet. Ensure you are using the correct size and appropriate socks.
Reduced traction on slippery surfaces.
The lugged rubber outsole provides good traction, but always exercise caution on wet or highly polished surfaces. Ensure the outsole is free of debris that might impede grip.
