Product Information
Full details
The Saucony Trainer 80 is designed for adults seeking a blend of retro athletic style and modern comfort for everyday wear. Its key benefit lies in its responsive cushioning and classic design, offering a smooth feel and timeless look. A potential caveat is that while inspired by running heritage, it's best suited for casual use rather than high-performance athletics. This shoe faithfully reimagines a 1978 classic, integrating high-density EVA foam for a softer, more responsive experience than its predecessors, making it a versatile choice for both street style and comfortable daily activities.

FAQs
Are the Saucony Trainer 80 suitable for running marathons?
No, the Saucony Trainer 80 is designed as a lifestyle and casual wear shoe. While it offers comfort and responsive cushioning inspired by running heritage, it is not engineered for the specific demands of marathon running or high-performance athletic training.
How do I clean the red colorway to prevent bleeding?
When cleaning, use a mild soap and cool water with a soft cloth. Avoid excessive scrubbing, and test any cleaning solution on an inconspicuous area first. Always air dry away from direct heat. While generally colorfast, excessive moisture and heat can affect color vibrancy.
What is the main difference between the original Trainer 80 and this reissue?
The main difference is the integration of modern materials like high-density EVA foam for enhanced cushioning and responsiveness, alongside a design adapted for contemporary street style. The original was revolutionary for its time, and this reissue brings that spirit to today's wearer.
Can I wear these shoes with orthotics or insoles?
Yes, the Trainer 80 has a removable insole, making it compatible with many standard orthotics or custom insoles. Ensure the insole you use fits comfortably within the shoe's volume.
What kind of socks are best to wear with the Trainer 80?
For everyday comfort, standard athletic or casual socks made from breathable materials like cotton or moisture-wicking blends are recommended. The choice depends on personal preference and the intended activity.
How do I know if I have the right size?
The shoe should feel snug but not tight, with enough room in the toe box for your toes to wiggle slightly. Ensure there's no significant heel slippage when you walk. Refer to a size chart and try them on with the socks you typically wear.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. Try wearing them with appropriate athletic or casual socks. If discomfort persists after a short break-in period, they may not be the right fit for your foot shape.
Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces
The outsole is designed for general traction. If you experience slippage on very smooth or wet surfaces, exercise caution. Ensure the outsole is clean and free from debris.
Materials show wear after limited use
Inspect the shoes for any manufacturing defects. If wear is due to normal use, ensure you are not subjecting them to activities beyond their intended casual/lifestyle purpose. Clean and care for them regularly.
