FAQs

Are the Saucony Trainer 80s suitable for serious running?

While the original Trainer 80 was a groundbreaking running shoe in 1978, its modern iteration is best suited for casual wear, light walks, and everyday comfort. Contemporary running shoes incorporate advanced technologies for optimal performance in serious training.

How do I choose the correct size?

The Saucony Trainer 80 generally fits true to size. We recommend measuring your foot length and comparing it to Saucony's official size chart. This specific variant is a UK 14.

Can I machine wash my Saucony Trainer 80s?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, adhesives, and overall structure of the shoes. Always follow the spot cleaning and air drying instructions provided in the care section.

What is EVA foam and what are its benefits?

EVA (Ethylene-vinyl acetate) foam is a soft, flexible, and lightweight material commonly used in shoe midsoles. Its benefits include excellent cushioning, shock absorption, and a responsive feel, providing comfort and reducing impact on your feet during movement.

Are these shoes durable for daily wear?

Yes, the Saucony Trainer 80 is designed with durable materials and construction for consistent daily wear. With proper care and maintenance, they are built to last.

Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?

The Trainer 80 is not specifically designed as waterproof footwear. While they can handle light moisture, prolonged exposure to heavy rain or wet conditions should be avoided to protect the materials and prevent discomfort. Allow them to air dry fully if they get wet.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable.

Ensure you have the correct size (this model is UK 14). Allow for a brief break-in period, as new shoes often need a few wears to conform to your feet. If discomfort persists, consider trying a half size up or ensuring your socks are not too thick.

Squeaking sound when walking.

This can sometimes be caused by moisture trapped between the insole and outsole, or by loose insoles. Try removing the insoles and letting both the shoes and insoles air dry completely. You can also sprinkle a small amount of baby powder under the insole to reduce friction.

Shoes look dirty or faded.

Follow the general care instructions for spot cleaning and gentle washing. For stubborn stains, a specialized shoe cleaner might be necessary. Avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing, as these can damage the materials and color.

Unpleasant odor inside the shoes.

Remove the insoles and allow both the insoles and shoes to air out completely in a well-ventilated area. Use a shoe deodorizer spray or place cedar shoe trees or baking soda sachets inside when not in use to absorb moisture and neutralize odors.

Sole feels less responsive over time.

Like all cushioned footwear, the EVA foam may compress and lose some of its original responsiveness after extended heavy use. While this is normal wear and tear, ensuring proper care and rotation with other footwear can help prolong its life. This model is designed for everyday wear, not high-impact, continuous athletic training.

For general care, it's recommended to clean your Trainer 80s regularly to maintain their appearance and extend their lifespan.

General Care Instructions:

  1. Spot Cleaning: Use a soft brush or cloth to remove loose dirt and debris from the surface.
  2. Mild Soap Solution: Mix a small amount of mild detergent with lukewarm water.
  3. Gentle Wipe: Dip a cloth into the solution and gently wipe down the shoe's exterior.
  4. Rinse and Dry: Use a clean, damp cloth to remove any soap residue. Air dry your shoes away from direct sunlight or heat, as excessive heat can damage materials.
  5. Odor Control: For internal freshness, consider using shoe deodorizers or placing baking soda in the shoes overnight.

Specific Material Care: While the primary material for this specific variant is not detailed, other Trainer 80 models feature suede, leather, or nylon. If your Trainer 80 has specific materials, please refer to specialized care guides for those materials (e.g., suede protector sprays, leather conditioners) to ensure optimal maintenance and longevity.
