FAQs

What makes the Saucony Jazz 81 different from other trainers?

The Jazz 81 stands out with its authentic retro design inspired by the 1981 original, premium Wolverine suede construction, and an upgraded full-cushion sockliner for enhanced comfort compared to earlier models.

Are these trainers suitable for running marathons?

No, the Jazz 81 trainers are designed for casual wear and light activity. They do not offer the specialized support and cushioning required for high-impact sports like marathon running.

How should I clean the suede parts of the trainers?

Gently brush off dry dirt with a suede brush. For stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner, testing it on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid soaking the suede in water.

What is the material of the outsole?

The outsole is made of blown rubber, which provides durability and reliable traction.

Can I put these trainers in a washing machine?

It is not recommended to machine wash or machine dry the Saucony Jazz 81 trainers, as this can damage the suede, cushioning, and overall structure of the shoe.

What does 'Jazz 81' refer to?

'Jazz 81' refers to the specific model and year of its original release, paying homage to Saucony's heritage in athletic footwear design.

Is this trainer unisex?

Troubleshooting

Suede material looking worn or dirty

Use a suede brush to lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For stains, consult a specialized suede cleaner and follow the instructions precisely. Regular brushing can help maintain appearance.

Soles feel slippery

Ensure the blown rubber outsole is clean and free from debris. If the issue persists, the outsole may be worn down and may need replacement by a professional cobbler if possible, or consider replacing the shoes.

Discomfort after extended wear

Ensure you have the correct size. The upgraded full-cushion sockliner provides comfort, but break-in time may be necessary for new shoes. If discomfort persists, consider using insoles designed for added arch support or cushioning.
