Product Information

Full details

The Saucony Trainer 80 is a retro-inspired trainer for adults seeking a blend of historical running technology and modern street style. Its key benefit is the revolutionary high-density EVA foam for a softer, more responsive feel, reminiscent of its 1978 origins. A potential caveat is that its retro design might not offer the advanced cushioning or support found in contemporary performance running shoes.

FAQs

Are the Saucony Trainer 80 suitable for actual running?

The Trainer 80 is inspired by running heritage and features cushioning from its original design. However, it is primarily intended as a lifestyle and casual wear shoe. For intense running, specialized performance running shoes would offer superior support and technology.

How do I clean the purple and orange colorway?

Use a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth for general cleaning. For specific stains on suede or mesh, use a specialized cleaner appropriate for those materials. Always test cleaning products on an inconspicuous area first.

What does 'high-density EVA foam' mean for comfort?

High-density EVA foam was a significant advancement, offering a softer feel and better shock absorption compared to older shoe construction methods. It contributes to a comfortable and responsive experience for everyday wear.

Is this shoe good for people with wide feet?

The Trainer 80 offers a standard fit. If you have particularly wide feet, it's recommended to try them on if possible or check specific sizing guides. Some users may find them to be a comfortable width, while others might prefer models specifically designed for wider feet.

What is the main difference between this retro model and modern Saucony trainers?

Modern trainers often feature advanced materials, specialized support systems (like stability control), and highly engineered uppers for enhanced performance and comfort tailored to specific running needs. The Trainer 80 focuses on replicating its original blend of comfort and style.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

While the materials offer some protection, they are not waterproof. It is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or very wet conditions to preserve their condition and comfort.

Troubleshooting

Squeaking sound when walking

This can sometimes occur due to friction between parts of the shoe. Try lightly dusting the insole with talcum powder or baking soda. Ensure laces are tied correctly.

Discomfort or pressure points

Ensure you have the correct size and fit. Wear appropriate socks. Break in the shoes gradually with short periods of wear.

Color transfer onto socks or feet

This can occasionally happen with new, brightly colored footwear, especially if exposed to moisture. It is usually temporary and can be reduced by wiping the inside of the shoe with a dry cloth. Consider wearing darker socks initially.

Reduced cushioning over time

The EVA foam may compress slightly with prolonged use. While designed for durability, extreme or constant heavy use can accelerate this. For optimal comfort, consider rotating with other footwear.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Offers a unique combination of historical running tech and modern street style.
  • The high-density EVA foam provides a comfortable and responsive feel.
  • Durable construction ensures long-lasting wear.
  • Classic retro design with modern color options.
  • Suitable for both casual wear and light athletic activities.

Cons

  • May lack the advanced support and specialized cushioning of modern performance running shoes.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Saucony Trainer 80 requires no setup; they are ready to wear right out of the box.

Compatibility: These trainers are designed for unisex adult wear and are compatible with a wide range of casual outfits. They are not specifically designed for compatibility with any electronic devices or specialized sports equipment.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: For general cleaning, use a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth to wipe away dirt and dust. Avoid soaking the shoes in water.
  2. Drying: If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials.
  3. Storage: Store the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain their color and material integrity.
  4. Materials: The upper is likely a combination of synthetic materials and suede/mesh; treat suede areas with appropriate protectants if desired.
