Troubleshooting
Suede becomes stained

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Saucony Racer 80 remains in peak condition, proper maintenance is essential, particularly due to the suede material. Avoid exposing the suede to heavy rain or mud, as moisture can damage the texture and color. For cleaning, use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt and a dedicated suede eraser for light stains. If the shoes become wet, air dry them naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can warp the material. The standard lace-up design allows for custom tensioning, which is recommended to achieve a secure fit that matches your specific foot volume.
