Product Information

Full details

The Saucony Trainer 80 is a retro-inspired trainer for adults seeking a blend of heritage style and modern comfort for everyday wear. Its key benefit is the responsive feel derived from its innovative EVA foam midsole. A potential caveat is that while designed for street style, it retains its running shoe roots, which may influence its suitability for prolonged, intense athletic activity.

FAQs

Are the Saucony Trainer 80s suitable for running marathons?

While the Trainer 80 was born from running heritage and features responsive cushioning, it's primarily designed for street style and everyday comfort. For marathon running, specialized performance running shoes with advanced support and cushioning technologies are recommended.

How do I clean the mesh parts of the trainers?

You can clean the mesh uppers by gently wiping them with a damp cloth. For tougher dirt, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by wiping with a clean damp cloth. Ensure they air dry completely.

What is the benefit of the EVA foam midsole?

The full-length EVA (Ethylene-Vinyl Acetate) midsole provides excellent cushioning, shock absorption, and a lightweight, responsive feel, contributing to all-day comfort.

Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?

The Trainer 80 features suede and mesh uppers, which are not inherently waterproof. While the treaded outsole offers grip, prolonged exposure to heavy rain may damage the materials and should be avoided. Consider using a water-repellent spray specifically designed for suede and textiles for added protection.

How does the Trainer 80 differ from modern running shoes?

The Trainer 80 emphasizes a retro aesthetic and a comfortable, responsive feel inspired by its 1978 predecessor. Modern running shoes often incorporate more advanced, specialized features for specific types of running (e.g., stability, maximal cushioning, energy return) and may use different materials for enhanced performance and durability.

What size should I order?

The Saucony Trainer 80 is available in various UK adult sizes. It's recommended to consult a size chart for accurate measurements or try them on in person if possible. These are standard fit trainers.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable

Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. If the shoes are new, they may require a short break-in period. Try loosening the laces before putting them on and re-tying them for a more customized fit.

Suede material looks matted or dirty

Use a suede brush to restore the nap of the suede. For stains, refer to a specialized suede cleaner and follow the product's instructions carefully. Avoid washing the shoes with water, as this can damage the suede.

Traction feels reduced on slippery surfaces

Check the tread on the outsole for wear or debris. Clean the outsole thoroughly. If significant wear is visible, it may be time to consider replacing the shoes.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Compatibility: These trainers are designed for adult use and are compatible with standard sock wear. They are suitable for a wide range of casual and light athletic activities.

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

  1. Uppers: Gently clean suede areas with a suede brush or a dry cloth to remove surface dirt. For stubborn marks, use a specialized suede cleaner, following product instructions carefully. Mesh areas can be wiped with a damp cloth.
  2. Midsoles and Outsoles: Clean with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
  3. Drying: Allow the trainers 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.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally in a shoe bag or their original box, to protect them from dust and moisture.
