FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
No, these are lifestyle trainers inspired by retro racing styles and lack the technical support for running.
Are the Saucony Racer 80s unisex?
Yes, these trainers are designed for both men and women, with sizing provided in standard UK adult measurements.
How do I clean the suede upper?
Use a dry, soft brush to remove dirt. Do not submerge the shoes in water.
Can I remove the insoles?
The Racer 80 features a standard construction, but the comfort is primarily provided by the padded collar and base design.
Does the shoe fit true to size?
Generally, yes. However, if you plan to wear thick socks, you may want to consider your standard sizing preference.
What is the primary material?
The exterior upper is primarily made from suede, providing a classic retro aesthetic.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks dull or matted
Use a soft-bristled suede brush to gently restore the nap of the material.
Water spots on the material
Let the shoes air dry naturally away from heat sources, then brush the affected area gently.
Laces coming loose
Ensure a double knot is used or replace with slightly textured laces if you prefer additional grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Saucony Racer 80 trainers remain in top condition, follow these guidelines:
- Suede Care: Use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt or debris after wear.
- Stain Prevention: Apply a suede-safe water repellent spray before initial use to protect against light moisture.
- Cleaning: Never machine wash or soak suede footwear. If necessary, spot clean gently with a dedicated suede cleaner.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can fade the fabric color over time.
