FAQs

What is the main benefit of the Grid Technology?

The Grid Technology provides superior cushioning and stability by absorbing shock and distributing impact forces, enhancing comfort and support during wear.

Are these trainers suitable for serious running?

While they offer good cushioning and stability for general wear and light running, they are primarily designed for comfort and a retro aesthetic. For highly specialized or competitive running, you might consider models with more advanced performance features.

How should I clean the white mesh uppers?

Use a soft brush with a mild soap and water solution. Gently scrub the mesh and rinse with clean water. Allow to air dry completely, away from direct heat.

What kind of fit can I expect?

These trainers aim to provide a comfortable fit with breathable materials. Given the retro design, it's always advisable to check sizing guides or try them on if possible.

Can I wear these trainers in wet conditions?

The rubber outsole provides good traction, but the breathable mesh uppers are not waterproof. They are best suited for dry to mildly damp conditions.

What era does the design evoke?

The design evokes the early 2000s, a period when the ProGrid Omni 9 originally defined comfort and style.

Are there other colorways available?

This guide focuses on the White colorway. Other color options may be available depending on the manufacturer's current offerings.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. Try lacing them more loosely initially, and they may stretch slightly with wear. If persistent, consider trying a different size.

Discomfort during walking/running

Verify correct sizing and lacing. Break them in gradually with shorter wear periods. Ensure the Grid Technology is functioning as expected by checking for any obvious damage.

Upper mesh getting dirty

Use a soft brush and a mild soap solution for cleaning. Rinse gently with clean water and allow to air dry completely.

Outsole losing grip

Clean the outsole thoroughly to remove any debris that might be affecting traction. If wear is significant, replacement may be necessary.
