FAQs
Are the Saucony Jazz 81 suitable for serious running?
While the Jazz 81 is inspired by running heritage and offers good comfort for shorter or casual runs, it may not provide the advanced cushioning and support features required for high-mileage or competitive running compared to modern, specialized running shoes.
How do I choose the right size?
The trainers are listed in UK adult sizes. It is recommended to measure your foot and compare it to the brand's sizing chart, or try them on if possible, as fit can vary slightly between individuals.
Can I wear these trainers in the rain?
The suede material is not inherently waterproof. While a protector spray can offer some resistance, it is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain to prevent damage and staining. Allow them to dry naturally if they do get wet.
What is the primary difference between the Jazz 81 and older Jazz models?
The Jazz 81 honors the original's look and feel but includes subtle upgrades for enhanced durability, comfort, and potentially improved materials or construction techniques to ensure they remain a desirable style for future generations.
How should I store my Jazz 81 trainers when not in use?
Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using a shoe tree or stuffing them with paper can help maintain their shape. A dust bag is also recommended.
Is the purple color family true to the original Jazz design?
The Jazz 81 aims to honor the original's aesthetic. The purple color family with grey secondary color is a modern interpretation that respects the iconic look of the franchise.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears discolored or stained
Use a suede eraser to gently lift stains. For persistent stains, consult a specialist suede cleaner. Ensure shoes are dry before attempting to clean.
Shoes feel too tight
Suede can stretch slightly over time with wear. Wearing them with thin socks may help initially. If discomfort persists, consider if the size is appropriate or if insoles might alter the fit.
Sole feels slippery
Ensure the sole is clean of dirt and debris. For initial wear, the sole may have a slightly different grip; try them on a few different surfaces. If slippage is a persistent issue, consider the environment of use.
Laces are worn or damaged
Replace laces with a standard pair of flat trainer laces. Ensure the length is appropriate for the number of eyelets on the shoe.

Care:
- Cleaning Suede: Use a soft brush or a specialized suede eraser to gently remove dirt and scuffs. For tougher stains, a slightly damp cloth can be used sparingly, avoiding excessive water.
- Drying: If the shoes get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the suede.
- Protection: Consider using a suede protector spray to help repel water and stains.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag, to protect them from dust and sunlight.
