Product Information

Full details

The Saucony Trainer 80 is for adults seeking a blend of retro running heritage and modern street style. Its key benefit is the revolutionary EVA foam midsole offering superior cushioning and responsiveness, making it comfortable for all-day wear. A potential caveat is that while faithfully reproduced, it remains a vintage-inspired trainer and may not offer the advanced technical features of contemporary performance running shoes.

FAQs

When was the Saucony Trainer 80 originally released?

The Saucony Trainer 80 was originally released in 1978.

What made the original Trainer 80 revolutionary?

It was one of the first running shoes to incorporate high-density EVA foam into its midsole and eliminated the outdated cardboard layer between the sole and upper, offering a softer and more responsive feel.

Are these shoes suitable for serious running?

While they are inspired by a running shoe, the faithfully reproduced Trainer 80 is best suited for casual wear, walking, and light athletic activities due to its vintage design and materials. It may not offer the advanced support and cushioning required for intense or high-mileage running.

How should I clean my Trainer 80s?

Gently clean the surface with a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or machine washing.

What does 'high-density EVA foam' mean for comfort?

High-density EVA foam provides a good balance of cushioning to absorb impact and responsiveness to give a springy feel with each step, contributing to overall comfort during wear.

Can I wear these trainers with any outfit?

Yes, the retro design and available colorways make the Trainer 80 versatile for pairing with casual outfits such as jeans, shorts, or athleisure wear.

Are these shoes available in different sizes?

Yes, the Saucony Trainer 80 is available in a range of adult sizes. Please check the specific product listing for available size options.

Troubleshooting

Sizing feels incorrect

Refer to the Saucony sizing chart and compare with your current footwear. Consider trying them on in-store if possible, or consult customer reviews for insights on fit.

Discomfort during initial wear

New shoes often require a break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time. Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks.

Color transfer from shoes to socks

This can sometimes occur with new, darker-colored footwear. It is often more noticeable with moisture. Washing socks inside-out or wearing darker socks can help mitigate this. The issue typically diminishes with further wear.

Material creasing

Creasing is natural with leather and synthetic materials over time with use. To minimize excessive creasing, use shoe trees when storing the shoes.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent cushioning and responsiveness due to EVA foam.
  • Authentic retro aesthetic appeals to heritage enthusiasts.
  • Versatile for casual wear and light athletic activities.
  • Durable construction ensures longevity.
  • Stylish design available in multiple color options.

Cons

  • May lack advanced technical features found in modern performance running shoes.
  • Fit might differ from contemporary trainers, requiring careful sizing.
  • Best suited for casual wear rather than intense, high-impact training.
  • Materials, while durable, are reflective of 1978 technology.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

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

Compatibility: These trainers are designed for unisex adult wear. They are compatible with a wide range of casual attire. They are not specifically designed to be compatible with advanced athletic tracking devices or specialized sports equipment.

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

  1. Cleaning: Use a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  2. Drying: If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials.
  3. Storage: Store the shoes in a cool, dry place when not in use. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
