Product Information
Full details
The Saucony Guide TR GTX is designed for female runners and outdoor enthusiasts who require a seamless transition between road running and light trail adventures. By combining the signature stability and plush cushioning of the Saucony Guide series with a rugged, waterproof GORE-TEX construction, this shoe ensures comfort and protection in unpredictable weather; however, users should note that the specialized outsole is optimized for light trails rather than technical mountain terrain.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for heavy mountain hiking?
These are optimized for light trails and mixed surfaces. They lack the stiff rock plates required for high-altitude technical hiking.
Can I wear these for daily road running?
Yes, they are designed to perform on pavement, though the 3.5mm lugs may cause slightly faster wear than a standard road-only shoe.
Is the material actually waterproof?
Yes, the GORE-TEX Invisible Fit upper is designed to be fully waterproof while remaining lightweight and breathable.
How do I choose the correct UK size?
These shoes generally fit true to size. If you usually wear a 7.5 in Saucony road shoes, select the same size for the Guide TR GTX.
Are these shoes supportive for overpronation?
Yes, as part of the Guide series, these shoes include support features designed to help runners who need stability.
Troubleshooting
Water entering the shoe despite GORE-TEX
Ensure your socks are not soaking up water at the ankle; deep water may enter over the collar if fully submerged.
Feeling of stiffness in the upper
Allow for a 15-20 mile break-in period for the GORE-TEX Invisible Fit layer to soften and conform to your foot shape.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Saucony Guide TR GTX, follow these maintenance tips:
- Fit: The shoes follow standard athletic sizing. Ensure a thumb-width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe to account for foot swelling during long treks.
- Cleaning: Remove loose dirt using a soft brush. If muddy, wipe down with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid soaking the shoes or using a washing machine, as this can degrade the adhesive and the GORE-TEX integrity.
- Drying: Air dry at room temperature away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can cause the materials to stiffen or warp.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place and ensure they are completely dry before storing to prevent internal odors.
