FAQs
What makes the EVA foam in the Trainer 80 revolutionary?
The Trainer 80 was one of the first running shoes to incorporate high-density EVA foam directly into the midsole, replacing older, less responsive materials and construction methods. This provided a softer, more cushioned, and responsive feel, significantly improving comfort and performance for runners in 1978.
Is the Saucony Trainer 80 suitable for modern running?
While the Trainer 80 offers excellent comfort for everyday wear and light activities due to its cushioning, it is not designed for high-performance, specialized running activities like marathon training or sprinting. It is best suited as a casual or lifestyle shoe with heritage running roots.
How do I clean my Trainer 80 shoes?
Spot clean the shoes using a damp cloth and a mild soap solution. Gently scrub any soiled areas. Allow them to air dry completely away from direct heat sources. Do not machine wash.
What is the main difference between this reproduction and the original Trainer 80?
This reproduction faithfully captures the original silhouette and incorporates the core technology of the 1978 model, including the EVA foam midsole. The primary differences lie in updated manufacturing techniques for durability and the availability of modern colorways, while maintaining the authentic retro feel.
Are these shoes unisex?
Yes, the Saucony Trainer 80 is designed as a unisex model, suitable for adults of all genders. Available sizes typically cater to a broad range of foot measurements.
How durable is the Trainer 80 for daily use?
The Trainer 80 is built with durable materials and construction methods aimed at withstanding regular daily wear. While designed for longevity, excessive or very demanding use may shorten its lifespan, as with any footwear.
Troubleshooting
Shoe feels too tight or loose
Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. Consider using different sock thicknesses. If the issue persists, the shoe may not be the right fit for your foot shape.
Squeaking noise from the sole
This can occasionally happen with new foam. Try flexing the shoe or walking on different surfaces. If it persists after a few wears, it may be a minor manufacturing anomaly.
Color transfer onto socks
This is more common with darker or vibrant colors. Wear darker socks initially, or consider a shoe protector spray. The color transfer usually reduces after a few wears.
