Full details

The Saucony Trainer 80 is designed for adults seeking a blend of retro athletic style and modern comfort for everyday wear. Its key benefit lies in its faithful reproduction of a 1978 running shoe, offering a unique heritage look with improved cushioning.

FAQs

Are the Saucony Trainer 80 suitable for actual running?

While inspired by running shoes from 1978, the Trainer 80 is primarily designed for lifestyle wear and everyday comfort. They do not offer the advanced support and cushioning technologies found in modern performance running shoes.

How do I clean the Trainer 80 shoes?

Gently clean with a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth and mild soap. Always air dry and avoid direct heat or harsh chemicals.

What does 'high-density EVA foam' mean for comfort?

This type of foam was innovative for its time, providing a good balance of cushioning and responsiveness, making the shoe feel softer and more comfortable than previous designs without being overly mushy.

Can I wear these shoes in wet conditions?

The Trainer 80 is not designed for wet weather. It's best to avoid wearing them in rain or on wet surfaces to protect the materials and maintain their condition.

What is the main difference between the original Trainer 80 and this reproduction?

This is a faithful reproduction that retains the original's innovative construction (like the EVA foam midsole) and design, but uses modern manufacturing techniques and materials to ensure durability and consistent quality.

Do these shoes come in different colors?

Yes, the Trainer 80 is available in a series of vibrant colorways to suit different preferences.

What is the recommended fit for these trainers?

The Trainer 80 is designed for a standard adult fit. It is recommended to check the size guide and consider sock thickness for optimal comfort.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight/loose

Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. If the fit is still not ideal, consider using thinner or thicker socks. For minor tightness, wearing them around the house can help them break in.

Sole feels stiff initially

The high-density EVA foam may require a short break-in period. Wear the shoes for short durations initially to allow them to adapt to your foot shape.

Color transfer to socks

This can occasionally occur with new dyed materials. Wearing darker socks initially or washing the shoes according to care instructions (if appropriate for the material) might help. Ensure shoes are completely dry before wearing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Saucony Trainer 80 requires no specific setup; they are ready to wear straight out of the box.

Compatibility: These trainers are unisex and designed for adult foot sizes.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning: Use a soft brush or cloth to remove loose dirt. For tougher stains, lightly dampen a cloth with water and mild soap, then gently wipe the affected area. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  • Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or dryers, as this can damage the materials.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe box or dust bag, to maintain their shape and prevent dust accumulation.
