Full details
The Saucony Trainer 80 is a unisex trainer for adults seeking a blend of heritage running technology and modern street style.

FAQs
What makes the Trainer 80 different from other Saucony shoes?
The Trainer 80 stands out due to its faithful reproduction of a 1978 design, featuring the original high-density EVA foam midsole and direct sole construction, offering a unique blend of heritage and responsive cushioning.
Is the Trainer 80 suitable for serious running?
While it features running-inspired technology, the Trainer 80 is primarily designed as a lifestyle shoe with enhanced comfort. For dedicated, high-performance running, Saucony offers specialized running shoe models.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Try them on with the type of socks you typically wear. There should be about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe. Ensure the heel doesn't slip excessively and the width feels comfortable without pressure points.
Can I wash the Trainer 80s in a washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash the Trainer 80s, as this can damage the materials and construction. Hand cleaning with a damp cloth and mild soap is the preferred method.
What does 'high-density EVA foam' mean for comfort?
High-density EVA foam provides a firmer yet highly responsive cushioning. It absorbs impact effectively while returning energy to your stride, resulting in a softer and more dynamic feel compared to standard foam.
Are these shoes waterproof?
The Trainer 80 is not designed to be waterproof. They offer protection against light splashes, but should not be submerged in water. For wet conditions, consider footwear specifically designed for waterproofing.
What is the warranty period for the Trainer 80?
Please refer to Saucony's official website or the product packaging for the most current warranty information, as this can vary by region and retailer.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure you have selected the correct size. If slightly snug, wearing them with thinner socks or allowing a short break-in period might help. Check if lacing can be adjusted for more volume.
Reduced cushioning over time
The EVA foam is designed for durability, but cushioning can naturally lessen with extensive use. Proper care and avoiding excessive wear in harsh conditions can prolong its effectiveness.
Squeaking sound
This can sometimes occur from friction between shoe components. Try loosening and re-tying the laces, or applying a small amount of talcum powder under the insole if removable.
Discoloration of materials
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or harsh chemicals. Clean with appropriate mild cleaners as per care instructions.

Care: To maintain the appearance and integrity of your Trainer 80s:
- Cleaning: Gently wipe the exterior with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush, then wipe clean with a damp cloth.
