Full details

Its key benefit lies in the responsive EVA midsole, offering a smoother stride and all-day comfort, while a potential caveat is its specific sizing, which may require careful consideration.

FAQs

Are the Saucony Trainer 80 suitable for running marathons?

The Trainer 80 is designed for casual wear and light activities. For marathon running or intense athletic training, we recommend specialized running shoes that offer advanced support and cushioning for such demands.

How do I choose the right size?

Refer to the sizing chart provided by Saucony and compare it with your foot measurements. Given their heritage design, some users find they fit best when considering both length and width. It may be beneficial to try them on if possible.

Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?

It is not recommended to machine wash the Saucony Trainer 80, especially due to the suede components. Cleaning with a damp cloth and specialized cleaners for suede is the preferred method.

What is the main difference between this retro version and the original?

This retro version faithfully recreates the original's design and feel, incorporating the innovative EVA foam midsole of its era. It brings the classic aesthetic and responsive ride to modern street style while maintaining the spirit of the 1978 original.

What kind of socks should I wear with these trainers?

You can wear various types of socks. For everyday comfort, standard athletic or casual socks are suitable. For a more vintage look, consider ankle or no-show socks.

How durable is the suede material?

The suede offers a premium look and feel but requires care to maintain its durability and appearance. Regular brushing and spot cleaning will help prolong its life and prevent premature wear.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable

Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. Consider if the width is appropriate for your foot. Wearing them for short periods initially can help break them in.

Suede material looks dull or stained

Use a suede brush to restore the texture. For stains, consult a suede cleaner guide and use appropriate products sparingly. Test any cleaner on an inconspicuous area first.

Laces wear out or break

Replace with standard trainer laces of a similar length and color. Available at most shoe care retailers.

Traction feels reduced on wet surfaces

Clean the outsole to remove any debris. While the treaded outsole provides grip, exercise caution on exceptionally slippery surfaces as with any footwear.

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

  2. Cleaning Mesh: Wipe the mesh areas with a damp cloth. Avoid soaking the shoes.
  3. Midsole and Outsole: Clean with a mild soap and water solution using a soft brush or cloth.
