FAQs
What is the main benefit of the GRID technology?
The GRID technology in the ProGrid Omni 9 TMY is designed to provide enhanced shock absorption and guide the foot through a natural gait cycle, offering superior comfort and support during runs.
Are these shoes suitable for marathon running?
While the ProGrid Omni 9 TMY offers good comfort and support, they are primarily geared towards daily training and shorter to moderate distances. For ultra-marathons, runners might prefer models specifically designed for extreme long-distance comfort and lighter weight.
Can I wear these shoes for activities other than running?
Yes, the retro-inspired design and comfortable cushioning make them suitable for casual wear and everyday activities. However, for highly specialized sports, dedicated footwear is recommended.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe when standing. The heel should feel secure without slipping, and the midfoot should feel comfortably snug.
Are there other colorways available in the ProGrid Omni 9 TMY series?
The TMY pack has specific color themes. While this guide focuses on the White variant, other colorways might exist within the broader ProGrid Omni 9 line or future TMY releases.
What is the 'Tomorrow Meets Yesterday' (TMY) concept?
The TMY concept fuses past design elements with future-oriented technology and aesthetics, creating a unique blend of retro and modern styles.
Troubleshooting
Slight stiffness on first wear
The shoes may feel stiff initially due to new materials. Wear them for short periods to break them in gradually. They will become more flexible with use.
Reflective elements losing effectiveness
Ensure the reflective surfaces are clean. Gently wipe them with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could scratch the reflective coating.
Reduced cushioning over time
The midsole cushioning may naturally compress with extensive use. Consider replacing the shoes if you notice a significant decrease in shock absorption after considerable mileage.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These trainers require no specific setup. Simply ensure you have the correct size for a comfortable fit. The lacing system allows for adjustable snugness.
Compatibility: Designed as running shoes, they are compatible with various running surfaces, including roads, sidewalks, and light trails. They are suitable for adult runners.
Care: To maintain the shoes' condition:
- Cleaning: Gently clean the exterior with a damp cloth or a soft brush to remove dirt and debris. Avoid harsh chemicals or soaking the shoes.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
- Laundering: It is generally not recommended to machine wash trainers as it can compromise the structural integrity and adhesives. Hand cleaning is the preferred method.
