Product Information

Full details

The Saucony Trainer 80 in Purple/Orange is designed for adults seeking a blend of retro style and modern comfort for athleisure wear. Its key benefit is a softer, more responsive feel due to its innovative sole construction, a hallmark since its 1978 debut. A potential caveat is that while ideal for casual wear, they may not offer the advanced performance features of contemporary specialized running shoes.

FAQs

Are the Saucony Trainer 80 suitable for actual running?

While the Trainer 80 has roots in running shoe innovation, its current design is optimized for athleisure and casual wear, providing comfort for everyday activities rather than high-performance running.

How should I clean the purple and orange suede parts?

Use a dedicated suede brush to remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, a slightly damp cloth with water is recommended, followed by air drying. Avoid excessive moisture and harsh chemicals.

What does 'EVA Midsole' mean for comfort?

EVA (Ethylene-Vinyl Acetate) is a foam material known for its shock-absorbing properties. A full-length EVA midsole provides a soft, cushioned, and responsive feel underfoot.

Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?

The suede components are not waterproof. It is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to prevent damage and discoloration. Consider using a water-repellent spray for added protection.

What is the main difference from modern Saucony running shoes?

The Trainer 80 focuses on heritage styling and all-day casual comfort, whereas modern Saucony running shoes are engineered with advanced technologies for specific running disciplines, offering specialized support and performance features.

Are these shoes unisex?

While this specific variant is listed as 'Female', the Trainer 80 series often includes unisex options. Always check the product description for gender-specific sizing or unisex availability.

How do I find the right size?

Refer to the Saucony size chart provided. It's recommended to measure your foot length and compare it with the chart. If possible, try them on in-store as sizing can vary between models.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Ensure laces are loosened before putting them on. Try wearing thinner socks. If the issue persists after breaking them in, they may be too small.

Suede material getting wet

Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat. Once dry, use a suede brush to restore the nap. Consider using a suede protector spray for future use.

Discomfort after a few hours of wear

Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. Check that the shoes fit correctly and are not too tight or loose in key areas. The break-in period might be necessary for optimal comfort.

Color transfer from suede

This can occur when suede is wet. Ensure the shoes are fully dry before wearing with light-colored clothing. A suede protector can help mitigate this.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning Suede: For suede areas, use a suede brush to gently remove dry dirt. For stains, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by air drying. Avoid soaking the suede.
  2. Cleaning Mesh: Use a mild soap and water solution with a soft brush or cloth to clean the mesh parts. Rinse with clean water and allow to air dry.
  3. Laces: Remove laces for separate washing by hand.
  4. Avoid Machine Washing: Do not machine wash or tumble dry, as this can damage the materials and structure of the shoe.
  5. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
