Product Information
Full details
The Saucony Trainer 80 is designed for adults seeking a blend of heritage running shoe technology and contemporary street style. Its key benefit lies in the revolutionary high-density EVA foam midsole, offering a softer, more responsive feel than its 1978 predecessors. A potential caveat is that as a faithful reproduction, the fit and feel might differ from modern, highly engineered running shoes.

FAQs
Are the Saucony Trainer 80s suitable for running marathons?
No, the Saucony Trainer 80 is a heritage lifestyle shoe. While it incorporates historical running shoe technology, it is not designed for the demands of modern, high-performance running like marathons.
How do I clean the Trainer 80s?
Gently wipe the exterior with a damp cloth. For tougher dirt, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush, then wipe clean with a damp cloth. Always air dry away from direct heat. Special care may be needed for suede or nubuck materials.
What does 'faithful reproduction' mean for this shoe?
It means the Trainer 80 has been recreated as closely as possible to the original 1978 model in terms of design and key materials, including the high-density EVA foam midsole, while meeting modern manufacturing standards.
Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?
These trainers are not waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to protect the materials and prolong their lifespan. Consider using a water-repellent spray for added protection.
What is the benefit of ditching the cardboard layer?
Removing the traditional cardboard layer between the sole and upper in the original design allowed for a softer, more responsive feel underfoot, enhancing comfort and the overall running experience.
How do I ensure I get the right size?
Refer to the brand's size chart and measure your foot if possible. Since this is a reproduction, compare its sizing to other Saucony models you may own, or try them on if purchasing in-store.
Are there other color options available?
Yes, the Trainer 80 is available in a series of vibrant colorways. Please check the product listings for the full range of available colors.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose
Adjust lacing to achieve a comfortable fit. If the size is fundamentally incorrect, consider exchanging for a different size if available.
Squeaking noise from shoes
This can sometimes occur due to friction between components. Try loosening or tightening the laces, or inserting a thin sock liner or powder inside the shoe if the noise persists.
Color transfer onto socks or feet
Some dyes, especially in darker colors, may transfer initially. Wear dark socks or use a shoe protectant spray designed to reduce color bleeding. Rinse socks separately after washing.
Reduced cushioning or responsiveness over time
The EVA foam may naturally compress with use. Ensure the shoes are cleaned and stored properly. For significantly degraded cushioning, it may be time to consider a replacement pair.

Care Instructions: To maintain the appearance and longevity of your Trainer 80s:
- Cleaning: Gently wipe the exterior with a damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush, then wipe clean with a damp cloth. Allow to air dry naturally, away from direct heat.
- Suede/Nubuck: If your model features suede or nubuck, use a specialized suede brush to remove dry dirt and maintain the texture. For stains, consider a suede cleaner following product instructions.
- Insoles: If removable, take out the insoles and clean them separately with a damp cloth. Ensure they are completely dry before reinserting.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally in a shoe bag or the original box, to protect them from dust and direct sunlight.
