FAQs
What makes the Saucony Trainer 80 different from modern running shoes?
The Trainer 80 utilizes the original 1978 high-density EVA foam midsole, offering a softer, more responsive feel specific to that era's technology. Modern running shoes often feature more complex cushioning systems and advanced support structures.
Are these suitable for serious running training?
While comfortable for light jogs, the Trainer 80 is primarily designed as a lifestyle and casual trainer. It may not provide the specialized support or cushioning required for intense or long-distance running training.
How do I choose the right size?
Refer to the size guide for UK adult foot measurements. These trainers generally follow standard sizing, but trying them on or consulting customer reviews for fit advice is recommended.
Can I wash the Trainer 80 in a washing machine?
No, machine washing is not recommended. It can damage the materials and construction. Hand clean with a damp cloth and mild soap as per the care instructions.
What is the primary benefit of the EVA foam in the Trainer 80?
The high-density EVA foam provides a pioneering blend of softness and responsiveness, delivering a smoother stride and enhanced comfort that was revolutionary for its time and still provides a pleasant feel today.
Do these trainers come in other colors?
The Trainer 80 is available in a series of vibrant colorways. Please check the product listings for specific color availability.
Troubleshooting
Slight stiffness on first wear
This is normal for heritage designs. Wear them for short periods initially to break them in. The EVA foam will conform to your foot over time.
Traction feels less grippy on wet surfaces
The outsole is designed for general use. For slippery conditions, exercise caution. Ensure the outsole is clean from debris for optimal grip.
Color transfer from the shoe to socks
This can occasionally happen with new, brightly colored footwear. Washing socks before first use may help. The color transfer should diminish with subsequent wears.
