FAQs

What makes the Trainer 80 historically significant?

The Trainer 80 was significant in 1978 for pioneering the use of high-density EVA foam in running shoe midsoles, offering superior cushioning and a more responsive feel than previously available designs.

Are these shoes suitable for serious running?

While they offer excellent cushioning, the Trainer 80 is primarily a heritage-inspired shoe designed for style and comfort during everyday activities. For high-intensity or professional running, modern performance running shoes might be more appropriate.

How does the fit compare to modern Saucony trainers?

The fit is based on the original 1978 design, which may differ from contemporary running shoe fits. It is recommended to consult the size guide and consider trying them on if possible.

What is the main benefit of the EVA foam in this shoe?

The high-density EVA foam provides enhanced shock absorption and a softer, more responsive feel underfoot, improving comfort during wear.

Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?

While they can handle light moisture, they are not designed as waterproof footwear. Avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain, and ensure they are properly dried afterward.

What does 'faithfully reimagined' mean for this retro release?

It means the design closely mirrors the original 1978 Trainer 80 in its silhouette and key construction elements, while incorporating modern manufacturing techniques for durability and quality.

How do I choose the right size?

Refer to the product's size chart, which typically aligns with standard UK sizing for adult footwear. Ensure you measure your foot accurately for the best fit.

Troubleshooting

Shoe feels too tight or uncomfortable

Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. Try wearing thinner socks if the fit is snug. If discomfort persists, consider if the shoe's specific fit profile suits your foot shape.

Soles are becoming worn

Regular wear and tear will eventually affect the sole. For minor wear, a cobbler might be able to help. For significant wear, it may be time to consider a replacement pair.

Color fading or material discoloration

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. Clean the shoes using mild methods as described in the care instructions. Consider using a shoe protector spray suitable for the material.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: These trainers are designed as unisex footwear and are compatible with a wide range of casual outfits. They are suitable for adults of all genders.

Care: To maintain the condition of your Trainer 80s:

  1. Cleaning: Use a soft brush or a damp cloth to gently wipe away dirt and dust. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, which can damage the materials.
  2. Drying: If the shoes get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can alter their shape and material integrity.
  3. Storage: Store the shoes in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag or their original box, to protect them from dust and direct sunlight.
