FAQs

Are the Saucony Trainer 80 suitable for running marathons?

The Trainer 80 is a heritage-inspired shoe focused on comfort and style for everyday wear. It is not designed with the advanced cushioning and support features required for marathon running.

How do I clean the suede parts of the trainers?

For suede, use a dedicated suede brush or eraser to remove dry dirt. For tougher stains, use a slightly damp cloth with a mild cleaning solution, then let them air dry completely away from heat.

What is the main benefit of the EVA midsole?

The high-density EVA midsole provides excellent cushioning and shock absorption, ensuring all-day comfort for the wearer.

Can these shoes be worn by women?

While this specific listing is for a men's size, Saucony often offers similar styles in gender-specific or unisex sizing. Check available options for women's sizing.

How does the Trainer 80 compare to modern Saucony running shoes?

The Trainer 80 is a lifestyle shoe inspired by a classic running design. Modern Saucony running shoes typically feature more advanced, specialized technology for specific running disciplines, such as enhanced stability, energy return, and lighter weight.

What does 'faithfully reimagined' mean for this shoe?

It means the shoe retains the iconic design and spirit of the original 1978 Trainer 80 but has been updated with modern materials and construction techniques for contemporary comfort and durability.

What material is used for the uppers?

The uppers are made from a combination of breathable mesh and premium suede.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dirty or stained.

Use a specialized suede brush or eraser for dry marks. For wet stains, blot immediately and use a damp cloth with mild soap, then air dry. Test cleaning solutions on an inconspicuous area first.

Shoe feels less cushioned over time.

The EVA midsole may compress slightly with extended use. Ensure you are not exposing the shoes to extreme heat, which can degrade the foam. Rotate with other footwear to prolong cushioning.

Laces are difficult to keep tied.

Ensure laces are tied securely using a double knot. Consider replacing the original laces with a grippier material if the issue persists.

Outsole grip seems reduced.

Clean the outsole tread with water and a brush to remove embedded debris. If the wear pattern indicates significant degradation, it may be time to consider replacement.
