FAQs

Are the Saucony Trainer 80 suitable for running marathons?

The Trainer 80 is designed with revolutionary EVA foam for enhanced comfort and responsiveness, making it excellent for everyday wear and light activities. However, it may not provide the specialized support and cushioning required for high-mileage marathon running.

How do I determine my correct UK size?

Refer to the Saucony sizing chart, which typically provides measurements in centimeters or inches corresponding to UK shoe sizes. Ensure you measure your foot accurately.

Can I machine wash the Trainer 80 shoes?

No, machine washing is not recommended. It can damage the materials and the structure of the shoe. Clean them using a damp cloth and mild soap, and allow them to air dry.

What makes the EVA foam 'revolutionary'?

In 1978, the Trainer 80's use of high-density EVA foam, replacing traditional cardboard layers, provided a significantly softer and more responsive cushioning experience compared to contemporary running shoes.

Are these shoes available in other colors?

The Trainer 80 is offered in a series of vibrant colorways. While this guide focuses on the Purple/Orange variant, other options may be available depending on the season and retailer.

What is the main difference between the original Trainer 80 and this reissue?

The reissue faithfully reimagines the classic design with its retro charm intact, while utilizing modern manufacturing and materials to ensure durability and comfort, balancing heritage with current standards.

Troubleshooting

Discomfort during initial wear

This can be normal for new shoes. Wear them for short periods to break them in gradually. Ensure you have the correct size; refer to the sizing chart if unsure.

Slight squeaking sound

This can sometimes occur due to friction between the insole and midsole. Try removing the insole and reinserting it, or place a small piece of powder or tissue paper under the insole.

Reduced cushioning over time

The EVA foam may compress slightly with prolonged heavy use. Ensure the shoes are not subjected to excessive heat, which can degrade the foam. For lighter use, the cushioning should remain effective for a considerable period.
