Product Information
Full details
The Saucony Racer 80 is a unisex trainer designed for adults who appreciate heritage-inspired footwear that blends 70s and 80s track-and-field aesthetics with modern everyday comfort. These trainers are ideal for casual wear and lifestyle use, offering a stylish suede construction and a secure fit; however, because they are built as an archive-inspired lifestyle shoe, they may lack the high-tech shock absorption required for long-distance performance running.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The Racer 80 is designed as a lifestyle trainer based on archive racing silhouettes. While inspired by track shoes, they are not recommended for long-distance training or professional sports.
Is the material waterproof?
No, the suede upper is not waterproof. It is recommended to use a protective suede spray to provide a basic layer of resistance against light moisture.
Are these unisex?
Yes, the Saucony Racer 80 is designed as a unisex model, fitting a wide range of foot shapes.
How do I ensure I have the right size?
These follow standard UK sizing for adults. If you are between sizes, consider trying the size that matches your standard fit in other retro-style lifestyle sneakers.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, you should never submerge suede trainers in a washing machine, as the water and detergent will damage the material and structure of the shoe.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dull or dirty
Use a soft-bristled suede brush in a circular motion to lift the nap and remove surface debris.
Fit feels too loose
Adjust the lace tension starting from the bottom eyelets moving upwards to secure the midfoot.
Suede got wet
Stuff the shoes with paper towels to absorb excess moisture and let them air dry naturally away from direct heat sources.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt and dust.
- Stain Removal: For stubborn marks, use a suede-safe eraser or a damp cloth with minimal mild detergent, but avoid soaking the material.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the suede from fading.
- Protection: Consider applying a suede-specific water repellent spray before initial wear to protect against minor spills and dirt.
