Product Information

Full details

The Saucony Trainer 80 is for adult men seeking a blend of heritage running technology and modern street style. Its key benefit is the revolutionary EVA foam construction offering superior comfort and responsiveness. A potential caveat is that its retro design may not appeal to those preferring purely contemporary aesthetics. This shoe faithfully reimagines a 1978 classic, integrating high-density EVA foam for a softer, more responsive feel by removing traditional cardboard layers. It offers a combination of breathable mesh and suede uppers, a full-length EVA midsole for comfort, and a treaded outsole for grip.

FAQs

Are the Saucony Trainer 80 suitable for actual running?

The Trainer 80 incorporates cushioning technology from its running heritage but is primarily designed for comfort and style for everyday wear. For serious or performance running, dedicated running shoes are recommended.

How do I clean the suede parts of the trainers?

Use a specialized suede brush to remove dry dirt and restore the nap. For stains, a suede cleaner or eraser can be used. Always test any cleaning product on an inconspicuous area first and allow the shoes to air dry completely.

What is the main advantage of the EVA foam midsole?

The high-density EVA foam midsole provides excellent cushioning, shock absorption, and a responsive feel, making the shoes comfortable for extended wear and lighter activities.

Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?

While the materials offer some protection, they are not waterproof. It is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to prevent damage to the suede and mesh, and to maintain traction.

What does 'From the Archives to the Streets' mean for this shoe?

It signifies that the Trainer 80 is a revival of a classic shoe from Saucony's historical archives, updated with modern construction and style to be suitable for contemporary street fashion and casual wear.

What sizes are available for the Saucony Trainer 80?

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

Troubleshooting

Slight stiffness on first wear

This is normal for new shoes, especially those with suede. Wear them for short periods initially to break them in. The EVA midsole will adapt to your foot shape with use.

Reduced grip on wet surfaces

The treaded outsole provides good grip on most surfaces, but like all footwear, performance on extremely wet or slippery surfaces may be reduced. Exercise caution in such conditions.

Discoloration of suede

Suede can be sensitive to moisture and abrasion. Protect from heavy rain and consider using a suede protector spray. Clean minor marks with a suede eraser or brush.

General discomfort after prolonged wear

Ensure you have the correct size and width. The Trainer 80 is designed for all-day comfort, but individual foot shapes vary. Consider using custom insoles if needed for additional support.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

The Saucony Trainer 80 requires no specific setup beyond wearing. Ensure you have selected the correct size for optimal comfort and fit.

Compatibility:

These trainers are designed for adult use and are compatible with casual everyday attire. They pair well with jeans, shorts, joggers, and other athleisure wear. While they offer comfort for light athletic activities, they are not specialized for performance running and may not be compatible with the demands of competitive racing or rigorous training.

Care:

  • Uppers: The mesh and suede construction requires gentle cleaning. Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt from the suede. For stains on suede, use a specialized suede cleaner and follow product instructions carefully. For mesh, a damp cloth or a soft brush with mild soap can be used. Avoid excessive water.
  • Midsole: Wipe the EVA midsole with a damp cloth to clean. Avoid harsh chemicals that could degrade the foam.
  • Outsole: Clean the treaded outsole with a brush to remove debris and maintain grip. A damp cloth can be used for general cleaning.
  • Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat or sunlight, which can damage the materials.
