FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for marathons?
Yes, the Progrid Guide 7 is designed for long-distance comfort and durability, making it a viable option for marathon training.
How do I know if the size UK 11 fits correctly?
You should have approximately a half-inch to a full inch of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe to allow for natural foot expansion.
Can I use these for trail running?
These trainers are primarily designed for road use; while they handle light gravel paths well, they lack the aggressive lugs needed for technical mountain trails.
How often should I replace my running shoes?
It is generally recommended to replace your running shoes every 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running surface and body weight.
Is the Progrid Guide 7 a neutral or stability shoe?
The Progrid Guide series is traditionally categorized as a mild stability shoe, offering support for runners who need a little extra structure.
Troubleshooting
Foot slipping inside the shoe
Try a different lacing technique, such as the 'runner's loop' or 'heel lock' lacing, to secure the ankle collar more firmly.
Build-up of dirt in mesh
Allow the mud to dry completely before using a soft-bristled brush to gently remove the debris from the mesh pores.
Shoe feels stiff initially
The foam often requires a 'break-in' period of 15-20 miles to fully adapt to your gait pattern.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longest lifespan for your Progrid Guide 7 trainers, proper maintenance is essential. Always untie your laces before removing the shoes to prevent heel counter collapse. If the shoes become wet, air-dry them in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can warp the cushioning foam. For cleaning, remove loose dirt with a soft brush and use a damp cloth with mild soap; do not machine wash or tumble dry these shoes as the heat and agitation can damage the structural adhesives. When choosing your size, ensure you have about a thumb's width of space at the front to account for foot swelling during long runs.
