FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for marathon running?
The Progrid Guide 7 offers good cushioning and support for long distances, making them a viable option for marathon training and racing, especially for runners who benefit from stability.
What is the main benefit of the Progrid technology?
Progrid technology typically refers to Saucony's cushioning and stability system designed to provide a smoother ride and better shock absorption.
How do I know if I need stability trainers?
Stability trainers are generally recommended for runners who overpronate, meaning their feet roll inward excessively upon landing. If you notice significant wear on the inner edge of your old shoes, you might benefit from stability features.
Can these trainers be used for cross-training activities?
While primarily designed for running, their blend of stability and cushioning can accommodate some cross-training. However, for activities requiring significant lateral support, specialized shoes may be more appropriate.
How do I determine my correct shoe size?
Measure your foot length at the end of the day. Compare these measurements to the brand's sizing chart. It's also recommended to consider the width of your foot and try them on with your usual running socks.
What is the expected lifespan of these trainers?
The lifespan of running shoes varies based on usage, running surface, and individual biomechanics. Generally, they are expected to last between 300-500 miles (480-800 km) of running.
Troubleshooting
Discomfort or rubbing
Ensure correct sizing. Break in the shoes gradually. Check socks for any potential friction points.
Reduced cushioning over time
The midsole cushioning may naturally compress with extensive use. Consider replacing the shoes if performance significantly degrades.
Traction issues on wet surfaces
The outsole is designed for general use. For significantly wet or slippery conditions, extra caution is advised.

Care:
