FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running or intense workouts?

No, while the Trainer 80 has a running heritage, this leather version is designed for casual everyday wear and light activities, not for high-intensity running or training due to its material and construction.

How do I determine my size for the Saucony Trainer 80?

These trainers are listed in UK adult male sizing. Saucony generally runs true to size. If you are unsure, it's often best to try them on or consult a Saucony size chart for conversion if you know your size in US or EU measurements.

Can I wear these shoes in the rain?

While leather offers some natural water resistance, these shoes are not waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain should be avoided. Applying a leather protector spray can enhance their resistance to moisture.

What is the primary benefit of the EVA foam midsole?

The high-density EVA foam midsole provides excellent cushioning and shock absorption, making the shoes very comfortable for all-day wear and reducing fatigue on your feet.

Is the leather upper easy to clean?

Yes, for general dirt, a soft, damp cloth is usually sufficient. For deeper cleaning or to maintain the leather's condition, specialized leather cleaners and conditioners are recommended.

What is the difference between the 'Trainer' and '80 OG' series?

Both 'Trainer' and '80 OG' refer to variations within the Trainer 80 family. '80 OG' often emphasizes a closer adherence to the original 1980s specifications, while 'Trainer' might be a broader designation for models inspired by this original, potentially with minor material or aesthetic updates.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable initially.

Leather shoes often require a 'break-in' period. Wear them for short durations around the house over several days to allow the leather to soften and conform to your foot.

Leather appears dull or dry.

Clean the leather thoroughly, then apply a specialized leather conditioner. This will restore moisture and luster to the material.

Scuffs or minor scratches on the leather.

For light scuffs, use a leather cleaner and then a leather conditioner. For deeper scratches, a leather repair cream or polish in a matching color may be needed.

Foot odor develops.

Ensure you wear breathable socks. Remove insoles occasionally to air dry. Consider using shoe deodorizers or odor-absorbing inserts to keep them fresh.

Care Instructions

To maintain the longevity and appearance of your leather Saucony Trainer 80:

  1. Regular Cleaning: Wipe down the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt and dust. For tougher spots, use a specialized leather cleaner.
  2. Conditioning: Apply a high-quality leather conditioner every few months to keep the leather supple and prevent cracking. Follow the product's instructions carefully.
  3. Protection: Consider using a leather protector spray to guard against water and stains, especially during inclement weather.
  4. Drying: If they get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight.
  5. Storage: Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
  6. Avoid Machine Washing: Never put leather shoes in a washing machine or dryer, as this can severely damage the material.
