Product Information

Full details

The Saucony Trainer 80 is a retro-inspired trainer for adults seeking a blend of heritage running technology and modern street style. Its key benefit is the revolutionary EVA foam construction, offering a softer and more responsive feel than traditional designs. A potential caveat is its historical design, which might not cater to those seeking the latest in specialized athletic features. This shoe faithfully reimagines a 1978 classic, integrating high-density EVA foam and removing outdated layers for enhanced comfort and performance. Available in vibrant colorways, it offers both nostalgic appeal and everyday wearability.

FAQs

What makes the Trainer 80 different from other Saucony shoes?

The Trainer 80 stands out due to its faithful recreation of a 1978 design, featuring the original high-density EVA foam and a construction that removed outdated layers, offering a unique blend of heritage and comfort.

Is the Saucony Trainer 80 suitable for actual running?

While inspired by running heritage, the Trainer 80 is best considered a lifestyle or casual trainer. It offers good comfort for daily wear but lacks the specialized features and support needed for serious athletic running.

How do I find my correct size?

This variant is a UK size 12. Refer to standard UK sizing charts for adult footwear. Ensure your foot measurements align with the shoe's designated size for the best fit.

What is the primary benefit of the EVA foam used?

The high-density EVA foam provides superior cushioning, shock absorption, and a more responsive feel underfoot, making the shoes comfortable for extended wear.

Can I wear these shoes in wet conditions?

The Trainer 80 is not designed for wet weather. While it can handle light moisture, prolonged exposure to water may affect the materials and comfort. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or puddles.

What does 'From the Archives to the Streets' mean?

This phrase signifies that the shoe is a revival of a classic design from Saucony's past ('Archives') that has been updated for modern, everyday fashion and urban wear ('the Streets').

What colors are available for the Trainer 80?

The Trainer 80 is available in a series of vibrant colorways. This specific model is in the Purple color family with Orange as a secondary color.

Troubleshooting

Squeaking noise from shoes

This can sometimes occur with new shoes. Try wearing them for a few more days to break them in. If the noise persists, a small amount of talcum powder in the insole might help.

Uneven wear on the sole

Ensure you are wearing the correct size. Uneven wear can also be a sign of your gait. For casual wear, this is unlikely to be a major issue, but if it becomes pronounced, consult a footwear specialist.

Discomfort after initial wear

The Trainer 80 has a specific fit rooted in its 1978 design. If you experience discomfort, ensure you have the correct UK size (this variant is UK 12). Wearing them for short periods initially can help them mold to your feet.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Offers superior cushioning and responsiveness due to the historical EVA foam innovation.
  • Combines vintage aesthetics with modern comfort for versatile wear.
  • Durable construction suitable for daily use.
  • Provides a unique heritage-inspired look for style-conscious individuals.

Cons

  • May lack the advanced technical features of contemporary specialized running shoes.
  • The retro fit might not be suitable for all foot shapes.
  • Primarily a lifestyle shoe with running heritage, not for intense athletic training.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

The Saucony Trainer 80 requires no setup; it is ready to wear out of the box. Compatibility is broad, as it's designed as a unisex adult trainer suitable for most casual settings. Care instructions involve using a damp cloth to wipe away dirt and grime. Avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing, as these can damage the materials and construction. For deeper cleaning, a soft brush can be used on the sole. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally, away from direct heat sources.
