FAQs

What is the primary benefit of the EVA foam in the Trainer 80?

The high-density EVA foam provides enhanced cushioning and a more responsive feel, absorbing impact effectively and returning energy with each stride, offering a softer ride compared to traditional shoe constructions.

Are these shoes suitable for serious running?

The Trainer 80 is designed for everyday wear and light athletic activities. While it offers good cushioning, it may not provide the advanced support and specialized features required for high-mileage or competitive running.

How do I clean my Saucony Trainer 80s?

Clean them by gently wiping with a damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush, then wipe clean with a damp cloth. Always air dry and avoid direct heat.

What does 'Faithfully reimagined' mean for this shoe?

It means that the Trainer 80 is a reproduction that closely matches the original design and materials from 1978, updated with modern manufacturing techniques to ensure quality and durability while retaining its classic aesthetic.

Can men and women wear the Trainer 80?

Yes, the Trainer 80 is designed as a unisex model, suitable for adults of all genders.

How should I store my Trainer 80s when not in use?

Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to help maintain their shape and prevent material degradation.

What is the main difference between the original Trainer 80 and this reproduction?

The reproduction faithfully captures the original design and innovative use of high-density EVA foam. Modern manufacturing ensures consistent quality and durability, while the colorways are updated to appeal to current styles.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable

Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. If the issue persists after a short break-in period, consider using thicker socks for a snugger fit or consulting shoe fit guides for potential alternative models if the width is an issue.

Soles feel less responsive over time

While EVA foam is durable, its responsiveness can decrease with extensive use. For basic care, ensure the shoe is clean. If significant loss of cushioning is experienced, it may be time to consider a replacement for optimal performance.

Color transfer from shoes to socks

This can occur with new, vibrantly colored footwear. It is recommended to wear darker colored socks initially until any excess dye has been washed out. Subsequent washes of the shoes (if applicable and following specific cleaning advice) may also help.

Care Instructions: To maintain the quality and appearance of your Trainer 80s:
