Product Information

Full details

The Saucony Trainer 80 is ideal for adults seeking a comfortable and stylish retro-inspired trainer for everyday wear. Its key advantage lies in its high-density EVA foam, which historically revolutionized comfort by ditching the old cardboard layer, offering a softer, more responsive feel. While it brings revolutionary comfort and vintage running aesthetics to the streets, it's best suited for casual use rather than modern performance running.

FAQs

Are the Saucony Trainer 80s suitable for running?

While the Trainer 80 was revolutionary for running when it first launched in 1978, modern running shoes have advanced significantly. Today, these trainers are best suited for casual wear, walking, and lifestyle use, offering excellent comfort and retro style rather than high-performance running support.

How should I clean my Saucony Trainer 80s?

For general cleaning, gently wipe the trainers with a soft, damp cloth using a small amount of mild soap. Avoid saturating them with water. Always air dry them completely at room temperature, away from direct heat. If the upper is suede or leather, use specialized cleaning products for those materials.

What does the 'EVA foam' in the sole mean for comfort?

EVA (Ethylene-vinyl acetate) foam is a lightweight, flexible, and cushioned material. In the Trainer 80, its high-density formulation provides superior shock absorption and a soft, responsive feel, contributing significantly to the shoe's overall comfort for everyday wear.

Is the sizing true to size?

Yes, the Saucony Trainer 80 typically follows standard UK adult sizing. We recommend ordering your usual UK shoe size. If you are between sizes, consider reviewing specific size charts or trying them on to ensure the best fit.

Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?

The Trainer 80 is not designed to be waterproof. While it can handle light splashes, prolonged exposure to wet conditions is not recommended as it can damage the materials and reduce comfort. It's best suited for dry conditions.

What is the significance of 'Trainer 80' in the name?

The 'Trainer 80' refers to the original model first introduced in 1978 (the '80' likely reflecting the era). This modern iteration is a faithful re-release, bringing back the innovative design and iconic style of that era to contemporary streets.

Troubleshooting

My trainers feel uncomfortable or too tight.

Ensure you have the correct UK size. Check your lacing; it might be too tight. Try loosening the laces or re-lacing them to allow for more flexibility around your foot. If discomfort persists, consider wearing thinner socks.

The trainers are getting dirty quickly, especially the white soles.

Regular light cleaning is key. For upper materials, gently wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap. For rubber soles, a magic eraser or a brush with mild detergent can effectively remove scuffs and grime. Always air dry.

My feet feel sweaty after wearing them for a while.

Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks made of breathable materials. If the issue persists, consider using foot powder or odor-absorbing insoles. Allow the trainers to air out completely between wears.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

Using your Saucony Trainer 80 is straightforward:

  1. Lacing: Unlace the trainers sufficiently to easily slide your foot in.
  2. Fit: Ensure your foot is comfortably seated, with your heel at the back of the shoe and a small gap between your longest toe and the front of the shoe.
  3. Secure Lacing: Lace them up, ensuring they are snug but not too tight, allowing for natural foot movement.

Compatibility

These trainers are designed for adults, conforming to standard UK adult sizing. They are highly compatible with a wide range of casual and smart-casual attire. Their retro aesthetic makes them a versatile choice for personal expression, fitting seamlessly into various fashion styles.

Care

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

  • Cleaning: For general dirt, gently wipe the trainers with a soft, damp cloth using mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. For stubborn marks, a soft brush can be used.
  • Drying: Always air dry your trainers at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can damage materials.
  • Storage: Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material degradation and color fading.
  • Material Specifics: As the exact upper material for this 'Original' variant is not specified, it's recommended to perform a spot test with any cleaning solution on an inconspicuous area first. If the upper is suede, use a suede brush and cleaner. If leather, use a leather conditioner.
