Product Information

Full details

The Saucony Originals Trainer 80 is designed for adults seeking a blend of heritage running technology and modern street style. Its key benefit is offering a softer, more responsive feel thanks to its innovative EVA foam construction. A potential caveat is that while reimagined for today, they retain a classic aesthetic which may not suit all contemporary fashion preferences. Key features include breathable mesh and suede uppers, a full-length EVA midsole for comfort, and a durable treaded outsole for grip.

FAQs

What makes the Trainer 80 revolutionary compared to other shoes from 1978?

The Trainer 80 was one of the first shoes to integrate high-density EVA foam and eliminate the cardboard layer between the sole and upper. This innovation provided a significantly softer, more responsive, and comfortable feel for runners.

Are these shoes suitable for actual running or athletic training?

While inspired by a running shoe, the Trainer 80 is faithfully reimagined for street style and everyday comfort. They are best suited for casual wear, walking, and light daily activities, rather than high-performance athletic training.

How should I clean the suede parts of the trainers?

For suede, use a suede brush to remove loose dirt. For stains, a specialized suede cleaner is recommended. Always test any cleaner on an inconspicuous area first and allow the shoes to air dry.

What does the EVA midsole do?

The EVA (Ethylene-Vinyl Acetate) midsole provides cushioning and shock absorption. In the Trainer 80, it's designed to offer a softer, more responsive feel for all-day comfort.

Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?

The mesh and suede materials are not inherently waterproof. While the treaded outsole offers grip, it's advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to protect the materials and maintain comfort.

What is the intended gender and age group for the Trainer 80?

The Saucony Trainer 80 is designed for adults and is generally considered a unisex style, although this specific listing is for the male variant.

How do I find the right size?

Refer to the size chart provided by Saucony. For this specific product, ensure you select the correct UK adult foot size.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dirty or stained.

Use a dedicated suede brush to lift dirt. For tougher stains, apply a specialized suede cleaner following product instructions, and then brush to restore nap. Allow to air dry.

Mesh material seems discolored.

Gently wipe the mesh with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Rinse with a clean damp cloth and allow to air dry.

Reduced grip on the outsole.

Clean the tread of the outsole with a stiff brush to remove embedded dirt or debris that might be affecting traction.

Shoes feel slightly stiff initially.

This is normal for new footwear. Wear them for short periods initially to break them in. The EVA midsole will adapt to your foot shape over time.
