FAQs

What makes the Saucony x 3Sixteen Guide 7 trainers unique?

Their uniqueness stems from the collaboration between Saucony and 3Sixteen, blending Y2K-inspired aesthetics with premium materials like hairy suede, mesh, and nubuck, all built upon Saucony's performance-oriented ProGrid cushioning technology.

Are these trainers suitable for running?

While the Guide 7 was originally a stability trainer and features cushioning, this collaborative lifestyle version is best suited for casual wear and everyday comfort. For dedicated running, consider Saucony's performance-focused running shoe lines.

How do I clean the suede and nubuck materials?

Use a dedicated suede brush for dry dirt. For stains, use a specialized suede cleaner sparingly and always test on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid saturating the material with water.

What is the inspiration behind the design?

The design is inspired by the translucent neon hardware casings of Y2K-era technology and '90s sportswear, creating a nostalgic yet modern look.

Do they come with multiple lace options?

Yes, the trainers include two pairs of laces: one tonal pair that matches the shoe color, and one contrast pair for a different look.

What sizes are available?

These trainers are available in various adult sizes. Please refer to the specific product listing for exact size availability, such as the Size UK 7 mentioned.

What is the primary benefit of the ProGrid midsole?

The ProGrid midsole provides exceptional cushioning and support, enhancing comfort for extended wear throughout the day.

Troubleshooting

Squeaking sound from shoes

This can sometimes occur with new shoes due to friction between the insole and midsole. Try removing the insole, applying a small amount of talcum powder or cornstarch, and then replacing the insole. Ensure laces are tied properly but not excessively tight.

Difficulty inserting foot

Ensure the laces are loosened sufficiently. The snug fit is part of the design, but excessive tightness can make entry difficult. Try using a shoe horn.

Uneven wear on outsole

Examine your gait and walking pattern. If the wear is significant and seems abnormal, consult a shoe specialist. For typical wear, ensure you are not consistently dragging your feet.

Color transfer from suede/nubuck

New suede or nubuck can sometimes transfer color, especially when wet. Allow the shoes to dry thoroughly before wearing and avoid contact with light-colored clothing or surfaces until color transfer is no longer an issue. Using a suede protector spray can help mitigate this.

Care: To maintain the appearance and longevity of your Saucony x 3Sixteen Guide 7 trainers:
