FAQs
What is the main benefit of ProGrid technology?
ProGrid technology in the Saucony ProGrid Guide 7 is designed to soften impact and promote easier transitions during your stride.
Are these shoes suitable for marathon running?
While they offer good cushioning and comfort for daily training, they are best suited for everyday runs. For marathons, you might consider models with more advanced, long-distance-specific cushioning.
How do I ensure I get the right size?
Refer to the sizing chart provided by Saucony and measure your foot. These trainers are listed in UK sizing. It's recommended to try them on if possible, as fit can vary.
Can I use these for trail running?
The durable rubber outsole provides reliable grip, making them suitable for light trails. However, for technical or very muddy terrain, dedicated trail running shoes would offer better performance and protection.
What does the retro re-release signify?
It means Saucony has brought back a classic model from the 2000s, updating its materials and construction to meet modern running standards while retaining the original design's essence and comfort.
Are there other color options available?
While this guide focuses on the black variant, Saucony may offer the ProGrid Guide 7 in other colorways depending on availability and region.
Troubleshooting
Reduced cushioning feel
Over time, cushioning can compress. Consider replacing the shoes if you've accumulated significant mileage (typically 300-500 miles).
Traction feels less reliable
Check the outsole for wear and tear or embedded debris. Clean the outsole thoroughly. If significantly worn, it may be time for a new pair.
Feet feel too warm
Ensure socks are moisture-wicking. The mesh upper is designed for airflow, but very hot conditions or thick socks can still lead to warmth.
