Product Information

Full details

The Saucony Trainer 80 is for adults seeking a blend of retro running heritage and modern street style. Its key benefit is the revolutionary cushioning technology of its time, now updated for comfortable everyday wear. A potential caveat is that while inspired by a 1978 design, it may not offer the highly specialized features of contemporary performance running shoes.

FAQs

What is the main innovation of the Trainer 80?

The Trainer 80's key innovation was the integration of high-density EVA foam into its midsole and the removal of the traditional cardboard layer, offering a softer and more responsive feel for runners in 1978.

Is the Saucony Trainer 80 suitable for modern running?

While inspired by a running shoe, the Trainer 80 is best suited for casual wear and lifestyle purposes today. It may not offer the specialized support and cushioning required for intense modern athletic training.

How do I clean the Trainer 80?

Clean the shoes using a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals and allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat.

What does 'From the Archives to the Streets' mean for this shoe?

It signifies that the shoe is a faithful reproduction of a classic design from Saucony's past ('Archives') that has been updated and styled for contemporary everyday fashion ('Streets').

What sizes are available?

The Trainer 80 is available in various adult UK sizes. Please refer to the specific product listing for the exact size range.

What is the color secondary 'Blue' referring to?

The 'Blue' in the color family refers to accent colors or details on the shoe, complementing the primary 'Red' color family.

Troubleshooting

Shoe feels too tight or loose

Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. Consider using thicker or thinner socks to adjust the fit slightly. If the issue persists, explore other available sizes.

Discoloration of the red upper

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can cause colors to fade. Clean with a slightly damp cloth and allow to air dry.

Slight stiffness on first wear

This is normal for new shoes. Wear them for short periods initially to allow the materials to adapt to your foot shape. The EVA foam will also soften slightly with use.
