Product Information

Full details

The Saucony Trainer 80 is a faithful reproduction of a 1978 running shoe, designed for adults seeking a blend of retro style and modern comfort for everyday wear. Its key benefit is the revolutionary cushioning technology from its original release, offering a softer, more responsive feel. A potential caveat is that while inspired by running heritage, it's primarily a lifestyle shoe for contemporary use, not a high-performance athletic trainer for intense modern training.

FAQs

Are the Saucony Trainer 80 suitable for actual running?

While the Trainer 80 is inspired by a running shoe from 1978, its design and materials are optimized for lifestyle wear and casual comfort, not for high-performance modern athletic running.

How do I determine my correct size?

Refer to the Saucony size chart available on the product page or website. Measure your foot length and compare it to the provided UK sizing information.

What is the primary benefit of the EVA foam midsole?

The high-density EVA foam midsole provides superior cushioning and a more responsive feel compared to older shoe technologies, offering enhanced comfort for daily wear.

Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?

It is not recommended to machine wash the Saucony Trainer 80. Hand cleaning with a damp cloth or soft brush is the preferred method to protect the materials and design.

What does 'faithfully reimagined' mean for this shoe?

It means the shoe retains the original design elements and spirit of the 1978 Trainer 80 while incorporating modern manufacturing techniques and materials suitable for today's comfort and style standards.

Are these trainers waterproof?

No, the Saucony Trainer 80 is not designed to be waterproof. They are suitable for dry conditions and light moisture, but not for heavy rain or wet environments.

What are the main colors available?

The product information indicates this specific model is in 'Blue' with secondary 'Red' accents, part of a series that may offer other vibrant colorways.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or loose.

Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. Consult the Saucony size guide for accurate measurements. Laces can be adjusted for a more customized fit.

Discoloration or fading.

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. Clean with appropriate, color-safe methods as per care instructions.

Soles feel stiff.

The EVA foam may require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially to allow them to mold to your feet.

Reduced cushioning over time.

While EVA foam is durable, its cushioning properties can naturally decrease with extensive use. For heavily worn shoes, consider replacement for optimal comfort.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: These trainers are designed for unisex adult wear and are compatible with standard UK shoe sizing. They pair well with casual attire such as jeans, shorts, and athleisure wear.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning: To maintain the appearance of your Trainer 80s, use a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth to wipe away dirt and dust. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, which can damage the materials. For stubborn stains, a specialized shoe cleaner for trainers may be used sparingly.
  2. Drying: If the shoes become 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 cause the materials to warp or crack.
  3. Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Using a shoe tree can help maintain their shape.
