FAQs

What makes the Matrix Fade trainers unique?

The Matrix Fade trainers are unique due to their Y2K-inspired design, reissued from 1999, combined with a modern ombré color effect and advanced GRID cushioning for both style and comfort.

Are these trainers suitable for running?

While they offer good cushioning for everyday comfort and light activity, they are primarily designed as lifestyle trainers. For intense running or athletic training, specialized running shoes are recommended.

How do I choose the right size?

Refer to the sizing chart provided by Saucony or the retailer. It's recommended to measure your foot length and compare it with the UK sizing guide. Trying them on in-store is the best way to ensure a perfect fit.

Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?

The trainers are not designed for wet weather. While they can handle light splashes, prolonged exposure to water may affect the materials and comfort. It's best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain.

What is the GRID cushioning system?

GRID (Ground Reaction Inertia Device) is Saucony's cushioning technology that provides stability and shock absorption by managing energy return and impact forces across the sole unit.

How should I clean the ombré upper?

Gently spot clean the ombré upper using a soft cloth dampened with a mild soap and water solution. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive scrubbing to preserve the gradient effect.

What is the intended use for the Matrix Fade trainers?

These trainers are intended for lifestyle wear, offering a blend of comfort and style suitable for daily activities, casual outings, and light athletic pursuits.

Troubleshooting

Discomfort or rubbing

Ensure you have the correct size and width. Break in the shoes gradually by wearing them for short periods initially. Check socks for seams that might cause irritation.

Fading of the ombré effect

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and harsh chemicals. Clean gently with approved methods to preserve the color.

Reduced cushioning over time

While designed for durability, cushioning naturally diminishes with extensive use. For very high mileage, consider rotating with other footwear.
