FAQs
What is the main inspiration behind the Saucony Guide v7.3 design?
The design is inspired by Saucony's early 2000s stability trainers and incorporates aesthetic elements and packaging reminiscent of Y2K-era technology.
What materials are used in the construction of these trainers?
They feature a combination of luxurious hairy suede and smooth nubuck, along with a breathable, retro-inspired triangle mesh.
Do these trainers come with different lace options?
Yes, two pairs of laces are included: one tonal (matching the shoe color) and one contrast pair for style customization.
What type of cushioning technology is used?
The trainers utilize ProGrid cushioning for enhanced comfort and support.
Are these trainers suitable for running?
While inspired by a former stability trainer, the Guide v7.3 is primarily designed for lifestyle wear and casual use, offering comfort for daily activities rather than high-impact athletic performance.
How should I clean the suede and nubuck parts?
Use a suede brush for dry dirt and specialized suede cleaner for stains. Avoid excessive moisture and machine washing.
What does the unique packaging represent?
The packaging is designed to look like the Y2K-era operating systems that were common in the early 2000s.
Troubleshooting
Suede becoming dirty or matted
Use a dedicated suede brush to restore the nap and remove surface dirt. For stains, consult a specialized suede cleaning product and follow its instructions carefully.
Laces feel stiff or discolored
Remove laces and hand wash them with mild detergent. Allow them to air dry completely before re-inserting.
Discomfort during wear
Ensure you have selected the correct size. Break in the shoes by wearing them for short periods initially. The ProGrid cushioning should provide comfort once the shoes are molded to your feet.
