How does the EVA foam in the Trainer 80 compare to modern cushioning?
The high-density EVA foam was a significant advancement in 1978, providing superior softness and responsiveness for its time. Modern shoes may use more advanced foam compounds or technologies, but the Trainer 80's EVA offers a classic, comfortable feel.
Are there other color options available?

Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure you have the correct size. Break-in period might be needed; wear for short durations initially. Consider using thinner socks.
Slight squeaking noise
This can sometimes occur with new shoes. Try applying a small amount of talcum powder or baby powder under the insole or on the tongue area.
Discoloration or fading
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. Clean with appropriate methods as outlined in care instructions.
Sole feels stiff
New shoes may require a break-in period. Wear them for progressively longer periods to allow the sole to flex naturally.
