FAQs

What makes the Saucony Trainer 80 different from other trainers?

The Trainer 80 pioneered the use of high-density EVA foam and removed a traditional cardboard layer in its construction, offering a softer, more responsive feel that was revolutionary in 1978 and still provides comfort today.

Is the Trainer 80 suitable for serious running?

While inspired by a running shoe, the Trainer 80 is primarily designed as a stylish, comfortable trainer for casual wear and light activities, rather than high-performance athletic training.

How should I clean my Trainer 80s?

Clean with a soft brush for dry dirt and a damp cloth with mild soap and water for stains. Avoid machine washing and ensure they air dry away from heat.

What materials are the Trainer 80s made from?

The specific materials can vary by colorway, but typically include a mix of synthetic materials, suede, and textile uppers, with a durable rubber outsole and EVA foam midsole.

Does the Trainer 80 come in different widths?

The Trainer 80 is generally offered in a standard width. It's recommended to check specific product listings or consult with a retailer for available width options.

What is the main benefit of the Trainer 80's original design?

The key benefit was the enhanced comfort and responsiveness achieved through its high-density EVA foam and integrated sole construction, providing a smoother ride.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Ensure you have the correct size. If they are new, wear them for short periods to allow them to break in. Consider using thinner socks.

Soles feel less cushioned over time

The high-density EVA foam is designed for longevity. However, if cushioning significantly decreases, it may indicate the shoes have reached the end of their lifespan for intended performance.

Material scuffs easily

For minor scuffs on suede or leather, use a suede eraser or a specialized cleaner. Protect the shoes with a suitable spray if materials are prone to marking.
