FAQs
What makes the Saucony x 3Sixteen Guide v7.3 unique?
The uniqueness comes from its collaboration with 3Sixteen, combining Saucony's classic Guide 7 silhouette with Y2K-era design inspirations, premium suede and nubuck materials, and specific colour palettes referencing vintage tech.
Are these trainers suitable for running?
While the original Guide was a stability trainer, this reissue with its premium materials and design focus is primarily intended for lifestyle and casual wear, not for intense athletic running.
How do I clean the hairy suede material?
Use a specialized suede brush to gently lift dirt and restore the nap. For stains, a dedicated suede cleaner is recommended. Always test any cleaning product on an inconspicuous area first.
What does 'ProGrid cushioning' mean?
ProGrid is Saucony's cushioning technology designed to provide a balance of shock absorption and responsiveness, offering comfort and support for extended wear.
How can I customize the look of my trainers?
The trainers come with two pairs of laces: one tonal and one contrast. You can easily swap these out to change the appearance of the shoes.
What is the sizing like for these trainers?
The sizing is based on UK adult foot sizes. It is recommended to consult a sizing chart or try them on if possible to ensure the best fit, as sizing can vary between brands and models.
Is this a unisex product?
Yes, the product information indicates it is designed as a unisex trainer for adults.
Troubleshooting
Initial stiffness
New suede and nubuck can be stiff. Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow them to break in and conform to your foot shape. Gentle flexing can also help.
Suede discoloration from water
Avoid wearing in heavy rain. If the suede gets wet, blot immediately with a dry cloth and allow to air dry naturally away from heat. Use a suede brush once dry to restore texture.
Laces fraying or breaking
Replace with a new pair of laces. Consider using the included alternative laces or purchasing replacement laces of a similar material and length.

Care:
