Full details

The Saucony Trainer 80 is ideal for individuals who appreciate timeless retro style combined with modern comfort for everyday wear. Its key advantage lies in its innovative high-density EVA foam, delivering a noticeably softer and more responsive feel than its predecessors. While excelling in style and comfort for daily use, it's important to note that its design prioritizes casual versatility over specialized, high-performance athletic functionality found in contemporary running shoes.

FAQs

Are the Saucony Trainer 80s suitable for serious running?

While the Trainer 80 has a rich running heritage from 1978, this reimagined version is designed primarily for casual everyday wear and street style. It offers excellent comfort for walking and light activities but is not intended for high-performance running compared to modern specialized running shoes.

How do I determine the correct size?

The Saucony Trainer 80 typically fits true to size (UK 11.5 for this variant). We recommend ordering your usual shoe size. If you are unsure, refer to Saucony's official size guide for precise measurements.

What makes the Trainer 80 so comfortable?

Its superior comfort comes from the high-density EVA foam integrated into the sole. This revolutionary material (for its time) replaced a rigid cardboard layer, providing a significantly softer, more cushioned, and responsive feel with every step.

Can I wear these trainers in rainy weather?

The Trainer 80 is best suited for dry to moderately damp conditions. While they can handle light moisture, prolonged exposure to heavy rain is not recommended as it can affect the materials and overall longevity. We advise against wearing them in downpours.

What is the primary appeal of the Saucony Trainer 80?

The main appeal lies in its successful blend of authentic retro style, paying homage to its 1978 origins, with updated comfort features suitable for today's lifestyle. It's a choice for those seeking a stylish, comfortable, and versatile everyday trainer with a rich history.

How do I prevent my trainers from smelling?

Allow your trainers to air out thoroughly after each wear, especially if your feet sweat. You can also use shoe deodorizers or place cedar shoe trees inside to absorb moisture and maintain freshness. Regularly cleaning the insoles (if removable) also helps.

Troubleshooting

Trainer feels less responsive or comfortable over time.

This is a normal sign of wear on the EVA foam. Regular use compresses the material. Consider rotating your footwear or replacing the trainers if comfort significantly diminishes. Ensure you're using them for appropriate activities (casual wear) to maximize their lifespan.

Visible dirt or scuffs on the trainers.

For light dirt, use a soft brush. For marks, gently clean with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. For persistent scuffs, or if your trainers have specific materials like suede, use a cleaner designed for that material. Always clean promptly to prevent stains from setting.

Trainers develop an odor.

Ensure trainers are fully aired out after each use. Remove insoles and let them dry separately if removable. You can use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside overnight to absorb odors, then shake it out.

Slight variation in color or texture after cleaning.

This can sometimes occur, especially with certain materials if not cleaned correctly. Always test cleaning products on a small, hidden area first. Ensure you are using appropriate cleaners for the specific material of your trainer. Allow to air dry completely.

Care

Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your Saucony Trainer 80s.

  1. General Cleaning: For light dirt and dust, gently brush off with a soft-bristled shoe brush. For more stubborn stains, use a mild soap mixed with water and a soft cloth to gently wipe the affected areas. Avoid harsh chemicals.
  2. Drying: Always allow your trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as these can damage materials and adhesives.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
  4. Material-Specific Care: Info needed: The specific outer material (e.g., suede, leather, nylon) for this variant is not provided. If your pair features suede, use a suede brush and cleaner. For leather, use a leather conditioner. For nylon, a gentle wipe with a damp cloth is usually sufficient. Always test cleaning products on an inconspicuous area first.
