Product Information
Full details
The Saucony Guide TR GTX is designed for adult female runners and hikers who transition frequently between paved roads and light trail surfaces. This hybrid shoe delivers the trademark stability and plush comfort of the Saucony Guide series, enhanced with GORE-TEX waterproofing for all-weather reliability. While it excels in comfort and protection, it is specifically engineered for light trails and mixed surfaces rather than highly technical or rugged mountain terrain.

FAQs
Are these shoes strictly for hiking?
No, they are a hybrid design intended for both road running and light trail use.
Can I use these in the snow?
They provide good protection for light, slushy conditions, but they are not insulated for deep winter mountaineering.
How do I clean the GORE-TEX upper?
Use warm water and a mild soap to wipe away dirt; avoid harsh detergents that might affect the waterproofing.
Is the sizing consistent with other Saucony models?
Yes, they generally follow standard Saucony sizing; however, always check your UK size measurement before ordering.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the insoles are removable and can be replaced with custom orthotics if preferred.
Troubleshooting
Water entering the shoe during heavy rain
Ensure the laces are tightened properly and consider using gaiters to prevent water from running down your legs into the shoe opening.
Feeling of overheating inside the shoe
Wear moisture-wicking synthetic or merino wool socks to better manage internal humidity, as GORE-TEX is breathable but not as cool as mesh.
Reduced traction on wet surfaces over time
Inspect the lugs for stuck mud or compacted debris; use a stiff-bristled brush to clear the tread to restore original grip performance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your shoes maintain their performance, follow these care guidelines. Break the shoes in by wearing them for shorter distances before taking them on long-distance hikes or trail runs. After use in muddy or wet conditions, remove debris by tapping the outsoles together and wiping the exterior with a damp cloth. Avoid submerging the shoes or using a washing machine, as this can compromise the GORE-TEX membrane. Always air-dry the shoes away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can warp the materials or damage the foam cushioning.
