FAQs
What makes the Hi Octane edition unique?
The Hi Octane edition features a specific colorway and design elements inspired by the raw energy and aesthetics of extreme sports like boxing, wrestling, and motocross, offering a bolder look than standard releases.
Are these shoes suitable for marathon running?
The ProGrid Guide 7 offers a foundation of protection and comfort, making them suitable for training runs and shorter distances. For marathon distances, individual comfort and performance needs may vary, and it's advisable to test them thoroughly during long training runs.
How do I know if I have the right size?
A proper fit should allow about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe when standing. The shoe should feel snug but not tight, with no heel slippage.
Can these trainers be worn for activities other than running?
While designed for running, their comfort and supportive features may make them suitable for general fitness activities or casual wear. However, for optimal performance and to prevent premature wear, their primary use should be running.
What does 'ProGrid' technology refer to?
ProGrid is Saucony's technology designed to provide advanced cushioning and stability, helping to manage impact and create a smoother transition from heel to toe during the running stride.
How does the Hi Octane design relate to running DNA?
The 'running DNA' refers to Saucony's heritage in creating high-quality running shoes. The Hi Octane edition reimagines this DNA with a contemporary, high-energy aesthetic inspired by various subcultures.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. If slightly tight, try loosening the laces and wearing them for short periods to break them in. Consider using thinner socks.
Squeaking sound during movement
This can sometimes occur with new shoes. Try flexing the shoe gently or applying a small amount of talcum powder around the insole area. If persistent, contact customer support.
Discoloration of the fabric
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. Clean with a damp cloth as per care instructions. If color transfer occurs from socks, ensure socks are colorfast.
