FAQs

How should I clean my Saucony Trainer 80 Leather shoes?

Gently wipe visible dirt with a soft, damp cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a dedicated leather cleaner and conditioner, following the product's instructions. Always allow them to air dry naturally, away from direct heat.

Are these shoes suitable for running or sports activities?

No, the Saucony Trainer 80 Leather is designed as a lifestyle and casual shoe, emphasizing comfort and classic style. While it has a running heritage, it is not engineered for high-performance athletic activities or intense sports.

What is the recommended sizing for the Saucony Trainer 80 Leather?

Saucony Trainer 80 models typically run true to size. However, fit can vary by individual foot shape. We recommend trying them on or consulting a Saucony size guide for the most accurate fit.

Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?

The leather upper provides some resistance to light moisture, but these shoes are not fully waterproof. It's advisable to avoid heavy rain or standing water to protect the leather. Applying a water and stain repellent spray formulated for leather can provide extra protection.

What does 'OG framework' mean for this shoe?

The 'OG framework' refers to the original design specifications and construction methods of the first Trainer 80 model. This means the shoe closely mirrors the aesthetic, material choices (where applicable), and structural elements of the vintage original.

How often should I condition the leather?

It is generally recommended to condition the leather every 2-3 months, or more frequently if the shoes are worn often or exposed to dry conditions. Conditioning helps keep the leather supple, prevents cracking, and maintains its appearance.

Troubleshooting

Leather appears scuffed or dull

Gently clean the affected area with a soft, damp cloth. For deeper scuffs, use a specialized leather cleaner and then apply a leather conditioner to restore shine and suppleness. For minor scuffs, a leather balm can often minimize visibility.

Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable

Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. Check if the lacing is too tight; try loosening it or using a different lacing technique. Leather shoes may require a short break-in period to conform to your foot shape. If discomfort persists, consider checking your size against a Saucony size chart.

Squeaking sound when walking

A common cause for squeaking in new shoes is friction between the insole and the shoe's interior. Try removing the insole, sprinkling a small amount of baby powder or cornstarch inside the shoe, then replacing the insole. If the squeak persists, it might be due to the outsole, which typically subsides with wear.

Shoes develop an unpleasant odor

Allow your shoes to air out thoroughly between wears. Remove insoles occasionally to let them dry completely. You can also use shoe deodorizers, cedar shoe trees, or sachets of baking soda placed inside the shoes overnight to absorb odors.

Stains on the leather upper

For fresh stains, blot immediately with a clean, dry cloth (do not rub). For dried stains, identify the type (e.g., oil-based, water-based) and use an appropriate leather cleaner designed for that stain type. Always test any cleaner on an inconspicuous area first.

Setup

Getting started with your Saucony Trainer 80 Leather shoes is simple. Upon unboxing, loosen the laces, insert your foot, and adjust the lacing to achieve a secure yet comfortable fit. Ensure your heel is seated firmly in the heel cup and that your toes have adequate room to move without touching the front of the shoe.

Care

Proper care for your leather Saucony Trainer 80s will ensure their longevity and appearance:

  1. Cleaning the Leather: Gently wipe away dirt and dust with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher marks, use a specialized leather cleaner applied sparingly to a clean cloth, then wipe the shoe. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first.
  2. Conditioning: To prevent the leather from drying out, cracking, or losing its suppleness, apply a quality leather conditioner every few months, or as needed.
  3. Drying: If your shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and maintain their shape. Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can damage the leather.
  4. Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape and absorb moisture.
  5. Protection: Consider applying a leather-specific water and stain repellent spray to offer an extra layer of protection against elements and spills. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive brushes.
