Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Saucony Guide 19s maintain their performance, follow these guidelines:
- Break-in: While comfortable out of the box, wear them for shorter walks or easy jogs for the first 20 miles to allow the mesh upper and foam to adapt to your foot.
- Sizing: Ensure a thumbnail's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe to account for foot swelling during exercise.
- Cleaning: Remove surface dirt with a soft brush. If needed, wipe the upper with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid putting these shoes in the washing machine or dryer, as heat can degrade the cushioning foam and adhesive bonding.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry area away from direct sunlight to prevent premature aging of the synthetic materials.
