Product Information
Full details
The Saucony ProGrid Paramount trainers are designed for adults seeking a blend of authentic Y2K running aesthetics and everyday style. Their key benefit lies in offering a comfortable, supportive fit with a distinctive retro look. A potential caveat is that their design is rooted in older running technology, which might differ from the most cutting-edge performance features. These trainers feature an open mesh upper, Arch-lock support, a lined collar, molded heel cup, and a full-length EVA midsole, bringing a piece of 2007 running heritage to modern wear.

FAQs
What is the main inspiration behind the ProGrid Paramount trainers?
The ProGrid Paramount trainers are inspired by an authentic Y2K design released in 2007, rooted in running DNA and styled for modern life.
Are these trainers suitable for serious running?
While they are built on a running shoe foundation, their design and features are optimized for lifestyle and casual wear. For intense training or competitive running, specialized performance running shoes might be more appropriate.
How do I clean the open mesh upper?
Gently clean the open mesh with a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh scrubbing. A mild soap and water solution can be used for tougher dirt.
What does 'Arch-lock support caging' do?
Arch-lock support caging is an internal system within the shoe designed to provide a secure and supportive fit around the midfoot, enhancing stability.
What material is the midsole made of?
The midsole is constructed from a full-length EVA (Ethylene Vinyl Acetate) material, which offers cushioning and shock absorption.
Can I wear these trainers in wet conditions?
The open mesh upper can allow water to enter. While suitable for dry to mildly damp conditions, they are not designed for heavy rain or prolonged exposure to wet environments.
What size foot are these trainers for?
These trainers are designed for adult feet. The specific size available in this listing is UK 7, but other sizes may be available in different colorways or listings.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose
Adjust the lacing to achieve a more secure or relaxed fit. Ensure you are wearing the correct thickness of socks. If the fit remains problematic, consider if this is the correct size for your foot type.
Mesh appears dirty and difficult to clean
Use a soft-bristled brush with a mild soap and water solution. Gently work the dirt out of the mesh. For stubborn stains, a specialized shoe cleaner designed for mesh materials may be used, following product instructions carefully.
Reduced cushioning over time
The EVA midsole provides comfort that can naturally decrease with extensive use. For light use, the cushioning should remain effective for a long period. If significant degradation occurs, it may be time to consider replacement.
Discoloration of materials
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or harsh chemicals. Clean with appropriate methods as described in the care section to prevent material degradation and discoloration.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup: These trainers require no assembly. Simply remove them from the packaging and they are ready for use.
Compatibility: Designed for adult wear, suitable for general athletic and casual use. They are compatible with standard athletic socks.
Care: To maintain the appearance and longevity of your ProGrid Paramount trainers:
- Cleaning the Upper: Gently clean the open mesh and fabric with a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth to remove dirt. Avoid harsh scrubbing, which can damage the mesh.
- Midsole and Outsole: Wipe down the EVA midsole and rubber outsole with a damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a mild soap solution and rinse with a clean, damp cloth.
- Lining and Inserts: If removable, hand wash the insoles with cool water and mild soap, then air dry completely. Ensure the interior lining is dry before wearing.
- Drying: Always allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can degrade the materials. Stuffing them with paper towels can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use, preferably in a shoe bag or their original box.
