FAQs
What is the main advantage of the ProGrid V2 design?
The ProGrid V2 design offers a unique blend of retro aesthetics from the early 2000s with modern comfort and versatility, making them suitable for both athletic activities and casual wear.
Are these shoes suitable for long-distance running?
While designed for runners balancing mileage and strength training, they offer good cushioning. For extreme long-distance or marathon running, specialized marathon shoes might offer more targeted features. However, they are excellent for general running and training.
How do I know if I have the right size?
It's recommended to try them on if possible, as fit can be personal. Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe. Check the Saucony sizing chart for specific measurements.
What is the 'ProGrid' technology?
ProGrid is Saucony's cushioning technology designed to provide a balance of shock absorption and responsiveness, enhancing comfort and performance during activity.
Can these trainers be worn in wet conditions?
The trainers offer some protection, but they are not waterproof. Avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain or wet surfaces to maintain their condition and performance.
What is the primary difference between the original ProGrid V2 and this new version?
The reemerging ProGrid V2 features renewed attitude, elevated details, and a design language that bridges early-2000s tech with contemporary style, indicating updated materials and refined aesthetics compared to the original 2011 release.
What activities are these trainers NOT recommended for?
These trainers are not ideal for highly technical trail running due to less aggressive tread, or for activities requiring specialized support like rock climbing or intense court sports where lateral stability is paramount.
Troubleshooting
Slight stiffness on first wear
This is common with new trainers. Wear them for short periods initially to allow them to break in and conform to your foot.
Laces come undone frequently
Ensure laces are tied securely with a double knot. Consider replacing them with different textured laces that offer more grip.
Uneven wear on outsole
Check your running or walking gait. If the issue persists and causes discomfort, consult with a footwear specialist.
