FAQs

What is the main benefit of the EVA foam midsole?

The high-density EVA foam midsole provides reliable cushioning and a responsive feel, offering comfort for all-day wear.

Are these shoes suitable for serious running?

The Trainer 80 is designed for casual wear and light activities. While it offers comfort, it is not intended for high-performance running or athletic training due to its retro design and cushioning focus.

How should I clean the suede parts of the trainers?

Use a specialized suede brush to remove dry dirt. For stains, a suede cleaner can be used, but always test on a small, hidden area first and follow the product's instructions carefully. Avoid getting the suede wet.

What does 'Faithfully reimagined for today' mean?

It means the shoe retains its original 1978 design elements and aesthetic but is constructed with modern materials and manufacturing techniques to ensure current comfort and durability standards.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

The mesh upper offers some breathability but is not waterproof. While the suede may be treated, it's best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to protect the materials.

What is the difference between this retro model and modern Saucony running shoes?

Modern Saucony running shoes are engineered with advanced technologies for specific performance needs like advanced cushioning systems, stability features, and lightweight materials optimized for speed and endurance. The Trainer 80 prioritizes heritage style and everyday comfort.

Troubleshooting

Squeaking noise from shoes

This can sometimes occur due to friction between the insole and the midsole. Try removing the insole, ensuring it's dry, and reinserting it. A small amount of talcum powder under the insole might also help.

Suede looking dull or dirty

Use a dedicated suede brush to gently remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, consider a suede cleaner, following product instructions carefully. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first.

Reduced cushioning over time

EVA foam can naturally compress with prolonged use. For enhanced cushioning, consider using aftermarket insoles designed for comfort.
