FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?

These trainers are designed with a standard fit. While they offer comfort, individuals with very wide feet might find them restrictive. It's always best to try them on if possible.

Can I put these in the washing machine?

It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. Machine washing can damage the materials, adhesives, and overall structure of the shoe. Hand-washing with a damp cloth is the preferred method.

What is the main difference between the Guide 7 and modern Saucony trainers?

The Guide 7 emphasizes a retro aesthetic and core comfort/protection features from its era. Modern trainers often incorporate lighter materials, more advanced cushioning technologies (like PWRRUN), and updated upper designs for enhanced breathability and fit.

How do I know if I have the correct 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 excessive slipping, and the midfoot should feel comfortably snug.

What type of running are these trainers best suited for?

The ProGrid Guide 7 is best suited for moderate runs, recovery runs, and general fitness activities. They offer a good balance of cushioning and support for everyday training rather than high-intensity speed work or marathon racing.

Is this a unisex model?

Yes, the product information indicates that this is a unisex model, suitable for both men and women.

Troubleshooting

Unusual squeaking noise

This can sometimes occur with new shoes. Try wearing them for a few more runs to see if it resolves. If not, check if the insole is loose and reposition it.

Discomfort during runs

Ensure the laces are tied correctly for a snug but not overly tight fit. Verify that the size is appropriate. Consider using different socks.

Exterior material appears dirty

Use a soft brush or damp cloth to gently clean the surface. For stubborn marks, a mild soap solution can be used sparingly, followed by a wipe with a clean damp cloth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These trainers are ready to wear straight out of the box. No specific setup is required beyond ensuring they fit correctly.

Compatibility: Designed as unisex adult trainers, they are compatible with standard athletic socks. They function well on various surfaces including roads, treadmills, and urban terrain.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: Gently wipe the exterior with a damp cloth to remove dirt and dust. Avoid using harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
  2. Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or dryers, as this can damage the materials.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use to maintain their shape and material integrity. Consider using shoe trees if storing for extended periods.
