FAQs
When was the Saucony Trainer 80 originally released?
The original Saucony Trainer 80 was released in 1978.
What makes the cushioning in the Trainer 80 special?
The Trainer 80 features high-density EVA foam in its midsole, a pioneering technology at the time, which provides exceptional softness and responsiveness. It also ditched the traditional cardboard layer for a more comfortable feel.
Is this shoe suitable for competitive running?
The Trainer 80 is designed primarily for trainers and casual wear. While it offers good cushioning for light jogging, it may not have the advanced features required for competitive or high-mileage running.
How do I clean my Saucony Trainer 80s?
Clean them with a soft brush or damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing or soaking. Allow them to air dry naturally away from heat.
Are these shoes available in different sizes and colors?
Yes, the Saucony Trainer 80 is available in various sizes and a selection of vibrant colorways to suit different preferences.
What is the main difference between the original Trainer 80 and this reissue?
This reissue faithfully reproduces the original design and its revolutionary cushioning technology but is constructed with modern manufacturing techniques for enhanced durability and street-ready style.
Can adults wear these shoes for everyday activities?
Absolutely. The combination of retro style and comfortable cushioning makes the Trainer 80 ideal for daily wear and casual outings.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure you have the correct UK size. If the shoes are new, they may require a short break-in period. Loosen the laces and try them on again, adjusting the fit.
Slight squeaking noise
This can sometimes occur with new shoes. Try wearing them for a while; the noise may dissipate. If it persists, check for any debris trapped in the sole.
Reduced cushioning over time
The EVA foam provides lasting cushioning but can compress with extensive use. For optimal comfort, consider replacing older shoes after significant wear.
Color transfer onto socks
Some darker or vibrant colors may transfer slightly when new and wet. This should lessen with subsequent wear and dry conditions. Ensure shoes are fully dry before wearing.
