FAQs
What is the main advantage of the Trainer 80's midsole?
The Trainer 80 features a high-density EVA foam midsole, which was innovative in 1978. It provides a softer, more responsive, and cushioned feel compared to older shoe constructions.
Is the Saucony Trainer 80 suitable for serious running?
While they offer good cushioning for everyday wear and light jogging, they are best suited for casual use and retro style rather than high-performance, competitive running.
How do I clean the Trainer 80 shoes?
Clean them with a damp cloth and mild soap, then let them air dry. Avoid machine washing or using harsh chemicals.
Are these shoes unisex?
Yes, the Trainer 80 is designed as a unisex model, suitable for adult wearers of any gender.
What does 'faithfully reimagined' mean for this shoe?
It means the shoe has been recreated to closely match the original design and materials from 1978, while incorporating modern manufacturing techniques for durability and a slightly refined fit.
What year was the original Trainer 80 released?
The original Saucony Trainer 80 was released in 1978.
Can I wear these shoes with orthotics?
The shoes offer standard arch support. If you require specific orthotic support, you may be able to replace the insole, though this is not guaranteed and may alter the fit.
Troubleshooting
Slightly tight fit upon first wear.
This is common with retro styles. Wear them for short periods initially and allow the materials to mold to your feet, or try with thinner socks.
Reduced cushioning over time.
The EVA foam is designed for durability, but cushioning can naturally decrease with extensive use. Ensure you are not exceeding recommended mileage or activity levels for this type of shoe.
Color transfer to socks.
This can happen with new, darker colored shoes. It is usually temporary and will diminish after a few wears and washes of the socks. Ensure socks are dark or consider pre-washing them.
