FAQs
Is the ProGrid Ride 1 a running shoe?
While originally designed as an everyday trainer with cushioning, this specific archival release is best suited for lifestyle wear and light activity rather than intensive long-distance training.
How does the sizing compare to modern Saucony models?
The ProGrid Ride 1 fits true to size, but as an archival model, it features the slightly more generous volume characteristic of 2008-era designs.
Are these shoes unisex?
Yes, the ProGrid Ride 1 is designed as a unisex model, fitting a wide range of foot widths and shapes.
Can I remove the insoles?
Yes, the insoles are removable, allowing you to insert your own custom orthotics if required.
How do I protect the metallic overlays?
Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaning sponges, as these can strip the finish from the geometric metallic elements.
Troubleshooting
Creasing on the toe box
Use a shoe tree when not wearing the trainers to help maintain the shape of the mesh and prevent permanent creasing.
Surface dirt on mesh
Use a dry, soft brush to knock away loose dust, then use a damp microfiber cloth to gently wipe the area without soaking the material.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your ProGrid Ride 1 trainers, avoid machine washing or drying, which can damage the geometric metallic overlays and foam structure. Clean the shoes using a soft-bristled brush or a damp cloth with mild soap to spot-clean the mesh panels. These trainers follow standard UK sizing conventions and are unisex, meaning they are designed to fit a wide range of foot shapes. If you are using aftermarket orthotics, ensure you remove the factory-fitted insole first to maintain proper internal volume and support.
