FAQs
Are the Racer 80 trainers waterproof?
No, these trainers are made from suede and are not waterproof. We recommend avoiding exposure to heavy rain.
Can I use these for marathon running?
No, the Racer 80 is a lifestyle heritage sneaker intended for casual wear, not performance athletic training.
Are the insoles removable?
Most models feature standard insoles; however, for the best fit, we recommend using the shoes as they come provided.
How should I clean the rubber outsole?
Use a damp cloth and mild soap to wipe the sides of the rubber outsole, ensuring you do not get soap or water on the suede upper.
Is the sizing consistent for both men and women?
Yes, as a unisex model, the sizing follows a standard scale. Please check the specific UK size to ensure the best fit.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks matted or dirty
Use a specialized suede brush to lift the nap of the material and remove loose dirt.
Laces constantly coming undone
Double-knot the laces or ensure they are pulled tight across the eyelets to maintain a secure lockdown.
Difficulty cleaning liquid spills
Blot the area immediately with a clean, dry cloth. Avoid rubbing, as this can push the liquid deeper into the suede fibers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Saucony Racer 80 trainers remain in top condition, follow these guidelines:
- Breaking In: These shoes generally fit true to size. Wear them for short durations indoors initially to allow the suede and internal padding to contour to your foot.
- Compatibility: They are designed for casual unisex wear. Match them with slim or tapered leg pants to accentuate the sleek, low-profile silhouette.
- Care: Because the exterior is constructed from suede, keep them away from heavy rain and mud. Use a soft-bristled suede brush to gently remove surface dust after each wear. If they become stained, use a dedicated suede cleaner or eraser rather than submerging them in water, which can damage the suede texture and colour.
