FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
These trainers are designed primarily as a lifestyle shoe with inspiration from a stability trainer. While they offer comfort and support for walking, they are not optimized for high-performance running activities.
How do I clean the suede and nubuck materials?
Use a suede brush for dry dirt. For stains, a specialized suede cleaner is recommended. Always test cleaners on a small, hidden area first. Avoid excessive moisture.
What does 'Y2K-era' packaging refer to?
The packaging is designed to resemble the aesthetic of computer operating systems and digital interfaces from the early 2000s, a nod to the era when the original Guide trainer was released.
Can I choose which laces to use?
Yes, the trainers come with two pairs of laces: one tonal (matching the shoe color) and one contrast (a different color). You can choose which pair to wear.
Are these trainers unisex?
Yes, the product information indicates these are unisex trainers, suitable for adults.
What is the benefit of ProGrid cushioning?
ProGrid cushioning is designed to provide exceptional comfort and support by absorbing shock and offering a responsive feel underfoot, making them comfortable for all-day wear.
What is the main difference between this and the original Guide trainer?
This collaboration reissues the original stability trainer with technical improvements, updated materials (luxurious hairy suedes, smooth nubucks, breathable mesh), and enhanced ProGrid cushioning for superior comfort.
Troubleshooting
Laces won't stay tied.
Try double-knotting the laces. If using the contrast laces, ensure they are not too slippery; consider swapping to the tonal laces if the issue persists.
Discoloration on suede.
Use a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner for targeted stain removal. Test any cleaner on an inconspicuous area first.
Inside of shoe feels uncomfortable.
Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. The ProGrid cushioning should provide comfort, but an initial break-in period might be needed for some users.
Material feels stiff.
The suede and nubuck may require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially to allow the materials to adapt to your foot.
