FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for long-distance running?
No, the Racer 80 is a lifestyle trainer inspired by heritage runners. It is designed for casual everyday use rather than high-performance sports or long-distance running.
Are the Saucony Racer 80 trainers unisex?
Yes, they are designed as a unisex model suitable for all adults.
How should I clean the suede upper?
Use a soft-bristled brush specifically designed for suede to gently brush away dirt. Do not use soap and water or machine wash the shoes.
Does the sizing run true to size?
The Racer 80 generally fits true to size for standard adult UK sizing; however, individual preferences for fit may vary.
Can I wear these in the rain?
It is not recommended. Suede is a sensitive material that can be permanently damaged by water, so it is best to avoid wearing them in wet conditions.
What is the main material of the shoe?
The upper is primarily constructed from premium suede, paired with a rubber outsole.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dull or dirty
Use a specialized suede brush or a clean, dry rubber eraser to lift surface dirt and restore the nap of the material.
Laces becoming undone frequently
Ensure the laces are threaded properly through the eyelets and consider using a double knot for a more secure, long-lasting fit.
Insole comfort feels insufficient
The included insole can be removed and replaced with a third-party aftermarket orthotic insert if additional arch support or cushioning is required.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
The Saucony Racer 80 requires no special setup—simply loosen the lace-up closure to ensure a comfortable fit for your foot shape. Given the suede material, it is highly recommended to treat the shoes with a protective suede-specific spray before the first wear to guard against water and dirt. To clean, use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove surface dust. Avoid machine washing or submerging the shoes in water, as this can damage the suede texture and compromise the structural integrity of the adhesive.
