FAQs
What makes the ProGrid Paramount 'Retro Tech'?
The 'Retro Tech' designation refers to its design inspiration from Saucony's archives, specifically a 2007 running shoe model, updated with contemporary styling and materials for a modern audience.
Are these trainers suitable for long-distance running?
While inspired by running shoes, they are best suited for casual wear, walking, and light training. For long-distance or high-impact running, consider specialized performance running shoes.
How do I clean the mesh upper without damaging it?
Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt, then a damp cloth with a mild soap and water solution. Gently wipe the mesh and rinse with a clean damp cloth. Always air dry.
Can these trainers be worn by both men and women?
Yes, the ProGrid Paramount trainers are designed with a unisex fit, suitable for adults of all genders.
What is the main difference between this and modern Saucony running shoes?
The ProGrid Paramount focuses on retro aesthetics and versatile comfort for casual wear, whereas modern Saucony running shoes are engineered with advanced technologies for specific performance needs like cushioning, stability, and energy return during intense running.
Will the internal fabric cage stretch over time?
The internal fabric cage is designed for a secure fit. While materials can adapt slightly to the foot, significant stretching is not expected under normal use, maintaining its supportive function.
What kind of socks are recommended for the best comfort?
Athletic or performance socks made from moisture-wicking materials are recommended for optimal comfort and to complement the shoe's breathability.
Troubleshooting
Sizing feels slightly off
Ensure you are wearing athletic socks when trying them on. If still uncomfortable, consider if a half-size up or down might be more suitable, referencing the size chart.
Mesh appears dirty after initial wear
Clean gently with a damp cloth and mild soap. Allow to air dry completely.
Reduced breathability in hot weather
While the mesh offers good ventilation, extremely hot conditions may still feel warm. Ensure socks are moisture-wicking.
