Product Information

Full details

The Saucony Trainer 80 is a retro-inspired trainer for adults seeking a blend of heritage running technology and modern street style. Its key benefit is the responsive cushioning and comfortable feel derived from its original 1978 design, which utilized high-density EVA foam. A potential caveat is that its retro design might not offer the advanced stability or specialized features found in contemporary performance running shoes.

FAQs

Are the Saucony Trainer 80 suitable for running?

While the Trainer 80 is inspired by running heritage and features responsive cushioning, it is primarily designed as a lifestyle shoe for comfort and style. For dedicated running or athletic training, specialized performance running shoes are recommended.

How do I determine the right size?

Refer to the Saucony sizing chart available on most retail websites. It's recommended to measure your foot length and compare it to the chart. If between sizes, consider your preferred sock thickness and fit.

What is the main advantage of the EVA foam used in the Trainer 80?

The high-density EVA foam provides a softer, more responsive, and cushioned feel compared to older shoe constructions, enhancing comfort for everyday wear.

Can I wear these shoes in wet conditions?

The Trainer 80 is not waterproof. While they can handle light moisture, they are not designed for heavy rain or wet environments. Avoid prolonged exposure to water.

What is the difference between the 'Trainer 80' and 'Originals' series?

The 'Trainer 80' designation typically refers to specific models or colorways within the broader 'Originals' collection, emphasizing faithful reproductions of classic Saucony designs like the 1978 model.

How often should I clean my Trainer 80s?

Clean your shoes as needed based on wear and visible dirt. Regular gentle wiping will help maintain their appearance. Avoid over-cleaning, which can degrade materials.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Ensure you have selected the correct size. If slightly snug, wearing them for short periods can help them conform to your foot. Consider using thicker socks for a snugger fit or thinner socks for a looser feel.

Soles feel stiff initially

The high-density EVA foam may require a brief break-in period. Wear the shoes for short durations initially, gradually increasing wear time to allow the midsole to adapt to your foot's natural movement.

Color transfer from shoe to socks

This can occur with new, dark-colored shoes. It is recommended to wear darker socks initially or wash the shoes (if appropriate for the material, following care instructions) before regular wear.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Saucony Trainer 80 requires no specific setup; they are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure you have selected the correct size for optimal comfort.

Compatibility: These trainers are designed for unisex adult wear and are compatible with a wide range of casual outfits. They are not designed for specialized sports performance.

Care: To maintain the condition of your Trainer 80s:

  1. Cleaning: Gently wipe the shoes with a damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents.
  2. Drying: Air dry the shoes at room temperature. Keep them away from direct heat sources like radiators or prolonged sunlight, which can damage the materials.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag or original box, to protect them from dust and moisture.
