FAQs

What makes the Saucony Trainer 80 unique?

The Trainer 80 is notable for its pioneering use of high-density EVA foam in the midsole, which was revolutionary in 1978 for providing a softer, more responsive running experience by eliminating the traditional cardboard layer.

Are these shoes suitable for serious running?

While they offer responsive cushioning from their EVA foam, they are primarily designed as lifestyle trainers that honor a running heritage. For intense or long-distance running, specialized modern running shoes may offer more advanced support and cushioning.

How do I clean my Saucony Trainer 80s?

Clean the shoes using a damp cloth with mild soap. Avoid machine washing or harsh cleaning agents. Always allow them to air dry away from direct heat.

What does 'Originals' series mean for this shoe?

The 'Originals' designation indicates that this model is a faithful reproduction or re-release of a classic Saucony shoe, maintaining its original design and spirit.

Can I wear these shoes with orthotics?

Yes, the Trainer 80 typically has a removable insole, making it compatible with most standard orthotics. Ensure the orthotic fits comfortably within the shoe's volume.

What is the warranty on these trainers?

Please refer to the retailer or Saucony's official website for specific warranty information, as it can vary by region and purchase date.

Do these shoes come in other colors besides red?

The Saucony Trainer 80 is available in a series of vibrant colorways. Please check available product listings for the full range of color options.

Troubleshooting

Shoe feels too tight or loose

Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. Try adjusting the lacing to achieve a more personalized fit. If the size is definitively incorrect, consider exchanging for a different size.

Squeaking noise during wear

This can sometimes occur with new shoes. Try wearing them for a short period to break them in. Ensure the insoles are properly seated, or if possible, try a different pair of socks.

Discoloration of materials

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or harsh chemicals. Clean gently with a damp cloth as recommended in the care instructions.

Reduced cushioning over time

The EVA foam provides lasting responsiveness. For significantly reduced cushioning, consider replacing the insoles or evaluating if the shoes have reached the end of their intended lifespan for regular use.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Offers a distinctly responsive and comfortable ride due to its EVA foam construction.
  • Combines authentic vintage style with modern wearability.
  • Durable build quality ensures longevity.
  • Suitable for both light athletic activities and casual wear.
  • Available in multiple color options to suit personal style.

Cons

  • The retro styling might not align with all fashion preferences.
  • May lack the advanced cushioning or support technologies found in highly specialized modern running shoes.
  • Primarily designed for casual wear and light training, not intense athletic performance.
  • The fit may vary slightly due to the vintage reproduction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

The Saucony Trainer 80 requires no specific setup; they are ready to wear out of the box. Compatibility is broad, as they are designed as unisex adult trainers suitable for general wear. To care for your Trainer 80s, it is recommended to clean them with a damp cloth and mild soap, avoiding harsh chemicals or machine washing. Allow them to air dry naturally, away from direct heat sources, to preserve the materials and shape. Regular brushing can help maintain the appearance of the upper materials.
