Saucony Trainer 80 - Suede, Black, White

The Saucony Trainer 80 is designed for everyday wear and comfort, drawing inspiration from running heritage. While they offer good cushioning and support, they are not designed as specialized performance running shoes for long-distance racing like marathons. For such activities, a dedicated performance running shoe would be more appropriate.

To clean the suede, use a dry suede brush to remove loose dirt and restore the nap. For stains, a specialized suede cleaner is recommended. Always test any cleaning product on a small, inconspicuous area first and allow the shoes to air dry completely.

The Trainer 80 focuses on a blend of heritage style and everyday comfort, using EVA foam for cushioning. Modern Saucony running shoes often incorporate more advanced technologies like PWRRUN cushioning, SPEEDROLL technology, and specific outsole rubber compounds designed for enhanced performance, lighter weight, and specialized running conditions.

While the treaded outsole provides some grip, the mesh and suede materials are not waterproof. Wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions may lead to discomfort and potential damage to the materials. It is advisable to wear waterproof footwear in wet weather.

High-density EVA (Ethylene Vinyl Acetate) foam provides a firmer yet responsive cushioning. It balances durability with shock absorption, offering consistent support throughout the day without being overly soft, which is ideal for everyday wear and light activities.

It is recommended to refer to Saucony's official sizing chart for accurate measurements. Generally, trainers should fit snugly but not tightly, with enough room for your foot to move naturally. Consider trying them on if possible or consulting customer reviews for insights on fit.

Ensure you have the correct shoe size. Try loosening the laces slightly. If the issue persists, consider a different lacing technique or consult a shoe fitting specialist.

Use a specialized suede brush to remove dry dirt. For tougher stains, apply a small amount of specialized suede cleaner and follow the product's instructions. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first.

Check the tread on the outsole for excessive wear or embedded debris. Clean the outsole with a damp cloth. If the tread is significantly worn, it may be time to consider replacement.

Ensure the shoes fit correctly and are laced appropriately. Consider that the EVA midsole provides comfort but is not a performance running shoe; for prolonged high-impact activities, specialized shoes may be more suitable.
