Product Information
Full details
The Saucony Trainer 80 is for adults seeking a blend of heritage running shoe design and modern street style. Its key benefit is the revolutionary cushioning system that provides a softer, more responsive feel than its 1978 predecessors. A potential caveat for some users might be the retro aesthetic, which may not align with all contemporary fashion preferences.

FAQs
When were the Saucony Trainer 80 originally released?
The Saucony Trainer 80 was originally released in 1978.
What made the original Trainer 80 revolutionary?
It revolutionized running by integrating high-density EVA foam and eliminating the cardboard layer between the sole and upper, providing a softer, more responsive feel.
Are these shoes suitable for modern running?
While they have a running heritage, they are now primarily designed for lifestyle and casual wear. For intense or specialized running, modern performance running shoes are recommended.
How do I clean the trainers?
Clean with a soft brush or damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing and air dry away from heat.
Can I replace the insole?
Yes, the insoles are typically removable and can be replaced with aftermarket insoles for personalized comfort or support.
What does 'Originals' mean in the product title?
'Originals' refers to Saucony's collection of heritage or classic models that have been reissued, often with updated materials or colorways while retaining their iconic design.
What is the main difference between the vintage and modern Trainer 80?
The modern Trainer 80 faithfully reimagines the original design but incorporates updated manufacturing techniques and potentially new colorways, while the core cushioning technology remains a key feature.
Troubleshooting
Shoe feels too tight or loose
Adjust the lacing to your preference. If the overall fit is incorrect, consider trying a different size or width if available.
Squeaking sound from the sole
This can occasionally happen with new shoes. Try walking on different surfaces. If the noise persists, a small amount of talcum powder under the insole might help.
Discoloration on the upper material
Gently wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap. For stubborn marks, consult a shoe cleaning guide specific to the material (e.g., suede, mesh).
Insole is uncomfortable or worn
The insole can be removed and replaced with aftermarket insoles that offer customized support or cushioning.
