FAQs
What makes the Trainer 80 different from other Saucony shoes?
The Trainer 80 is a faithfully reproduced original from 1978, featuring the revolutionary high-density EVA foam midsole of that era. It prioritizes heritage design and everyday comfort over the latest performance technologies found in modern Saucony running shoes.
Are these shoes suitable for actual running?
While they were pioneers in running shoe technology, their design is now more suited for lifestyle wear and light activities. For serious running, it is recommended to use models specifically designed for modern athletic performance.
How do I clean the purple and orange colorway?
Use a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth with minimal soap to clean. Avoid harsh chemicals and allow them to air dry completely away from direct heat to preserve the colors.
What does 'high-density EVA foam' mean for comfort?
It means the foam used in the midsole is more compact and resilient, providing a good balance of cushioning and responsiveness that was advanced for its time and still offers a comfortable feel for daily wear.
Can these shoes be worn by all genders?
Yes, the Saucony Trainer 80 is designed as a unisex model, suitable for adults regardless of gender.
What is the typical lifespan of the Trainer 80?
With proper care and regular cleaning, the Trainer 80 is built for durability and can last for a significant period for lifestyle use. Lifespan depends on frequency and type of wear.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. If a slight adjustment is needed, try wearing thinner socks or breaking them in with short periods of wear.
Slight creasing on the upper
This is normal for leather and synthetic materials with wear. To minimize creasing, ensure proper fit and consider using shoe trees when storing.
Discoloration on fabric or foam
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight which can cause fading. Clean with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary, and allow to air dry away from heat.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning:
- For minor dirt and scuffs, use a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth to gently wipe the affected areas.
- Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the materials and the retro finish.
- For the midsole, a damp cloth is typically sufficient.
- Drying:
- Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature.
- Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can cause the materials to shrink or warp.

- Using shoe trees can help preserve their form.
