FAQs

What is ProGrid technology?

ProGrid technology is Saucony's cushioning system designed to offer plush comfort and shock absorption with each stride, providing a smooth and supportive feel.

Are these shoes suitable for marathon running?

The ProGrid Omni 9 is designed more for everyday wear and light training due to its retro construction. For marathon distances, a shoe with more specialized performance features might be more appropriate.

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 end of the shoe when standing. The shoe should feel snug but not tight, with no heel slippage.

Can I wear these in wet conditions?

While the rubber outsole offers traction, the mesh upper is not waterproof. They are best suited for dry or mildly damp conditions. Avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain.

What makes the design 'retro'?

The 'retro' aspect comes from the design language inspired by running shoes from earlier eras, evident in the silhouette, overlay patterns, and overall aesthetic, updated with modern materials.

Are the reflective details prominent?

The reflective detailing is designed to be subtle in daylight but becomes visible when illuminated by light sources in low-light conditions, enhancing safety.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable

Ensure you have the correct size. Try wearing them with the type of socks you would typically use. Break them in gradually with short periods of wear.

Traction seems poor

Clean the rubber outsole with a brush to remove any accumulated dirt or debris that might be reducing grip.

Upper material feels less breathable

Ensure the mesh is clean and free of dirt. Regular cleaning will help maintain breathability.
