Troubleshooting
Sizing feels slightly off
Ensure you are wearing the type of socks you typically would with trainers. Consult the Saucony size guide and consider the specific width of your foot. Some users find a half-size adjustment beneficial.
Fraying laces
Replace laces with a similar material and length. Cotton or polyester blend laces are common and durable.
Discoloration on upper material
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. If cleaning, use a damp cloth and mild soap, testing on an inconspicuous area first. Do not use harsh chemicals.
