FAQs

Are the Saucony Trainer 80 suitable for actual running?

While inspired by a running shoe, the Trainer 80 is primarily designed for everyday comfort and style. For intense or competitive running, specialized performance running shoes are recommended.

How do I clean the suede parts of the shoe?

Gently brush the suede with a suede brush to remove dry dirt. For stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and follow the product's instructions carefully. Avoid soaking the suede.

What is the primary benefit of the EVA midsole?

The full-length EVA midsole provides lightweight cushioning and shock absorption, offering comfort for extended wear throughout the day.

What does 'heritage reimagined' mean for this shoe?

It means the Trainer 80 is a modern recreation of a classic shoe design from 1978, incorporating updated materials and construction for today's comfort and style standards while retaining its original aesthetic.

Can these shoes be worn in wet conditions?

The mesh and suede materials are not inherently waterproof. While the treaded outsole offers some grip, they are best suited for dry or moderately damp conditions. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain is not recommended.

What is the main difference between this and a modern Saucony running shoe?

Modern Saucony running shoes often feature more advanced cushioning technologies, specialized support systems, and lighter, more performance-oriented materials. The Trainer 80 focuses on heritage style and general everyday comfort.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Ensure you have selected the correct size. Consider wearing thinner socks or breaking the shoes in gradually with short periods of wear.

Suede material looks dirty or matted

Use a dedicated suede brush to restore the nap and remove surface dirt. For stubborn stains, consult specific suede cleaning product instructions.

Tread on outsole appears worn

This is normal wear and tear. If grip is significantly reduced, consider replacing the shoes.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup: The Saucony Trainer 80 requires no specific setup; they are ready to wear out of the box.

Compatibility: These trainers are designed for adult use and are suitable for individuals seeking a comfortable, stylish, everyday shoe. They are compatible with casual apparel like jeans, shorts, and athletic wear.

Care:

  1. Cleaning Uppers: For the suede portions, use a suede brush to remove dirt and maintain texture. For mesh areas, a damp cloth with mild soap can be used. Avoid excessive water.
  2. Midsole and Outsole: Wipe down the EVA midsole and rubber outsole with a damp cloth to remove surface dirt.
  3. Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources, as this can damage the materials.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, to preserve color and material integrity.
