FAQs

What makes the Trainer 80's cushioning unique?

The Trainer 80 features a high-density EVA foam midsole, which was innovative in 1978. It provides a softer, more responsive feel compared to traditional layered sole constructions of that era.

Is the Saucony Trainer 80 suitable for long-distance running?

While comfortable for general wear and light jogging, the Trainer 80 is a retro-inspired trainer. For dedicated long-distance running, modern running shoes with more advanced cushioning and support systems might be more appropriate.

How do I know if I have the right size?

The Trainer 80 is designed for a standard fit. Refer to the sizing chart and try them on. Ensure there is a small amount of space at the toe and the heel doesn't slip excessively.

Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?

The trainers are not waterproof. While they can handle light moisture, prolonged exposure to rain or wet conditions is not recommended as it can affect the materials and performance.

Are there other color options available?

Yes, the Trainer 80 is available in a series of vibrant colorways designed to suit different styles.

What is the primary advantage of the Trainer 80's design?

The primary advantage is the blend of authentic retro styling with the responsive cushioning and comfort derived from its pioneering EVA foam midsole construction.

Troubleshooting

Slightly tight fit on first wear

The shoes may require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially to allow the materials to adapt to your foot shape.

Discoloration on the midsole

This can occur due to exposure to sunlight or certain cleaning agents. Try gently cleaning with a mild soap and water solution, then air dry. Avoid direct sun exposure when not in use.

Laces becoming worn

Replace worn laces with standard trainer laces of a similar length. Ensure they are tied securely but not excessively tight to avoid damaging eyelets.
