While originally designed as running shoes in the 80s, the modern Shadow 5000 is primarily categorized as a lifestyle trainer and is best suited for walking and casual wear.

Can I remove the insoles to use my own inserts?

Troubleshooting

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Saucony Shadow 5000 trainers maintain their appearance and structure, keep the following tips in mind: For the best fit, ensure you select your standard UK size as these follow standard athletic sizing conventions. If you plan on using custom orthotics, the factory insole can generally be removed. To clean, wipe away surface dirt with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid submerging the trainers in water or using harsh industrial detergents, as this can degrade the adhesives used in the sole assembly. Allow your shoes to air dry naturally in a cool, ventilated area away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can warp the materials.
