FAQs
Are these shoes actually waterproof?
Yes, they feature a GORE-TEX upper which provides a waterproof barrier while maintaining breathability.
Are these suitable for intense running?
While they use the GRID cushioning system, they are primarily designed as retro-tech trainers for casual, daily use and light activity.
How do I clean the synthetic leather?
Use a soft, damp cloth with a small amount of mild detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals or soaking the leather.
Do they fit true to size?
The ProGrid Omni 9 generally fits true to size, though the TPU cage provides a more structured, snug feel than standard casual trainers.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the insoles are removable, allowing you to insert custom orthotics if preferred.
What is the primary difference between the standard and the GTX version?
The GTX version includes a GORE-TEX membrane for waterproof protection, which is not present in the standard ProGrid Omni 9.
Troubleshooting
Feeling too tight across the midfoot
The TPU cage provides a rigid structure; try using a 'window' lacing technique to relieve pressure over the top of the foot.
Waterproofing effectiveness seems reduced
Ensure the upper is clean; dirt and grime can clog the breathable pores of the GORE-TEX membrane, reducing its performance.
Heel slippage
Use the extra top eyelet for a 'runner’s loop' to secure the heel more firmly against the back of the shoe.
Pros and Cons

- Stable and supportive ride for all-day wear

- Less breathable than non-waterproof mesh alternatives
- Design aesthetic is specifically retro, which may not suit all styles
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your ProGrid Omni 9 GTX, treat these as a specialized technical shoe rather than standard canvas sneakers. Since they feature synthetic leather and waterproof membranes, avoid machine washing, which can damage the GORE-TEX bonding. Instead, wipe the exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap if needed. When lacing, ensure you are utilizing the TPU cage eyelets to maximize the locked-in structure. If the shoes become soaked from the inside, remove the insoles and air dry them away from direct heat sources like radiators, as high heat can warp the internal structure.
