FAQs

Are the Saucony Trainer 80 suitable for running marathons?

While the Trainer 80 features heritage running technology, it is primarily designed as a lifestyle and casual trainer. For marathon running, we recommend dedicated performance running shoes from Saucony's specialized lines.

How do I clean the mesh and suede uppers?

Gently brush off loose dirt with a soft brush. For stains, use a slightly damp cloth. For suede, a specialized suede cleaner and protector are recommended. Avoid machine washing or submerging in water.

What is the primary benefit of the EVA midsole?

The high-density EVA foam midsole provides excellent cushioning and shock absorption, offering significant comfort for all-day wear.

Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?

The Trainer 80 offers some protection, but the suede material is not waterproof. It's best to avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain or wet conditions to preserve the material's condition.

How does the Trainer 80 differ from modern Saucony running shoes?

The Trainer 80 focuses on blending retro style with everyday comfort, utilizing EVA foam for cushioning. Modern Saucony running shoes often incorporate more advanced materials like PWRRUN+ for higher performance, specialized support systems, and lighter-weight designs for competitive running.

What sizes are available?

The Saucony Trainer 80 is available in a range of adult UK sizes. Please refer to the product listing for specific size availability.

Is the treaded outsole suitable for all surfaces?

The treaded outsole is designed to provide reliable grip on most common surfaces encountered during everyday use, such as pavement, concrete, and indoor flooring.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or loose

Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. Adjust lacing to find a snug but comfortable fit. If persistent, consider an insole for minor adjustments or a different size.

Discoloration on suede parts

Use a specialized suede eraser or brush to gently remove marks. For stubborn stains, consider a suede cleaner, following product instructions carefully.

Reduced grip or slippery outsole

Clean the outsole thoroughly with water and a brush to remove embedded dirt or debris that may be reducing traction.

Material wear and tear

For minor scuffs on suede, use a suede brush. For mesh, gentle spot cleaning is recommended. Avoid machine washing or harsh scrubbing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Saucony Trainer 80 requires no specific setup. They are ready to wear straight out of the box.

Compatibility: These trainers are designed for adult use and are compatible with standard sock wear. They are suitable for casual wear, light athletic activities, and everyday use.

Care: To maintain the appearance and longevity of your Trainer 80s:

  1. Cleaning Uppers: Gently clean the suede and mesh sections with a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or soaking the shoes.
  2. Suede Care: For suede areas, a dedicated suede cleaner and protector can be used to maintain texture and prevent stains.
  3. Midsole and Outsole: Wipe down the EVA midsole and rubber outsole with a damp cloth to remove dirt and grime.
  4. Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials.
  5. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag or original box to protect them from dust and maintain their shape.
