Product Information

Full details

The Saucony Trainer 80 is designed for adults seeking a blend of heritage running innovation and modern street style. Its key benefit is the comfortable, responsive feel derived from its high-density EVA foam midsole, offering all-day wearability. A potential caveat is its retro design, which may not appeal to everyone. This iconic trainer, born in 1978 and faithfully reimagined, features mesh and suede uppers for breathability and style, a full-length EVA midsole for comfort, and a treaded outsole for reliable grip.

FAQs

Are the Saucony Trainer 80 suitable for running marathons?

The Saucony Trainer 80 is designed more for lifestyle wear and casual running, offering comfort and a responsive feel. For marathon running, consider specialized Saucony running shoes that offer advanced support and cushioning tailored for long-distance performance.

How do I best clean the suede parts of the trainers?

For suede, it's best to use a dry suede brush to remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and a slightly damp cloth, then allow to air dry. Avoid soaking the suede.

What does 'faithfully reimagined' mean for this shoe?

It means that the Trainer 80 has been updated with modern manufacturing techniques and materials while staying true to the original design and spirit of the 1978 model, including its key innovations like the EVA foam midsole.

Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?

While the shoes offer some protection, they are not waterproof. The mesh and suede materials can absorb water. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to prolong their lifespan and maintain comfort.

What is the main benefit of the EVA foam midsole?

The high-density EVA foam midsole provides excellent shock absorption, cushioning, and a responsive feel, making the shoes comfortable for all-day wear and reducing impact on your feet.

Are there other color options available for the Trainer 80 series?

Yes, the Trainer 80 series is available in a range of vibrant colorways, catering to different styles and preferences.

Troubleshooting

Discomfort or rubbing

Ensure you have the correct size. Break in the shoes gradually by wearing them for short periods initially. Check for any internal seams or debris causing irritation.

Traction seems reduced

Clean the outsole thoroughly with water and a brush to remove any embedded dirt or debris that might be affecting grip.

Suede looking dull or dirty

Use a suede brush to restore the nap. For stains, consult a suede-specific cleaning guide and product. Avoid using water directly on suede unless specified by the cleaner.

Felt or odor inside the shoe

Allow shoes to air out completely between wears. Use insoles that can be removed and washed or replaced. Baking soda can be used inside the shoes overnight to absorb odors.
