FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for long-distance running?
While these were high-performance shoes in 2008, they are now marketed as lifestyle trainers. They are better suited for walking and everyday use than modern long-distance running.
What is the primary material of the upper?
The upper uses a combination of breathable textiles and synthetic geometric metallic overlays for structure.
How do I maintain the metallic finish?
Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubs. Use a soft cloth and wipe gently to prevent scratching the metallic material.
Are these unisex?
Yes, the ProGrid Ride 1 is released as a unisex model, provided the appropriate adult UK sizing is selected.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the insoles are removable, allowing you to insert custom orthotics if required for additional arch support.
Troubleshooting
Laces feel loose or slip during walking
Use a 'runner's loop' or double-knot the laces to secure the low padded collar more firmly.
White upper showing dirt or scuffs
Use a specialized sneaker cleaner or a soft brush with a solution of water and mild detergent to gently lift dirt from the synthetic overlays.
Midsole feels slightly stiff out of the box
The foam requires a short break-in period; wear the shoes for short intervals over 2-3 days to allow the cushioning to adapt to your stride.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Saucony ProGrid Ride 1, start by properly adjusting the lace tension during your first wear to allow the upper materials to adapt to your foot shape. These trainers are true to standard adult sizing, but those who prefer a looser fit for casual wear may consider a half-size increase if wearing thick socks.
Care instructions are straightforward: avoid machine washing, which can damage the metallic overlays and foam density. Instead, wipe the white upper with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. If the shoes become soaked, air dry them at room temperature away from direct sunlight or heat sources, which can cause the materials to warp or yellow.
