FAQs
What is the main inspiration behind the 3sixteen X Saucony Guide v7.3 design?
The design draws inspiration from Saucony's early 2000s stability trainers and incorporates aesthetics from Y2K-era technology and operating systems.
What materials are used in the construction of these trainers?
The trainers are constructed using a combination of luxurious hairy suede, smooth nubuck, and a breathable retro-inspired triangle mesh.
Does the cushioning offer good support for walking?
Yes, the ProGrid cushioning is designed to provide exceptional comfort and support for everyday wear and walking.
How should I care for the suede and nubuck materials?
Regular brushing with a soft brush, using a suede protector spray, and cleaning stains promptly with a suede eraser or professional cleaner are recommended.
Are these trainers suitable for running?
While they feature cushioning inspired by running shoes, this model is primarily designed as a lifestyle and casual wear trainer. For dedicated running, a performance-specific model would be more appropriate.
What comes included with the trainers?
The trainers come with two pairs of laces: one tonal and one contrast, along with special Y2K-era inspired packaging.
Is this a limited edition release?
As a collaboration between 3sixteen and Saucony, this is likely a limited edition release, characteristic of such partnerships.
Troubleshooting
Laces feel too short or too long
The included laces come in standard lengths for this model. If a different length is desired for a specific lacing style, custom laces can be purchased separately.
Suede appears matted or dirty
Use a dedicated suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For stubborn marks, a suede eraser can be effective.
Inconsistent fit
Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. If the fit is still uncomfortable, consider the possibility of a sizing issue or an unusual foot shape. Consult the size chart and compare with other Saucony models if possible.
