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 combination of classic design with the responsive feel from its innovative EVA foam midsole. A potential caveat is that while designed for street style, they are a reproduction of a running shoe, so extreme athletic performance may vary compared to contemporary specialized trainers.

FAQs

Are the Saucony Trainer 80 suitable for serious running?

The Trainer 80 is a reproduction of a 1978 running shoe, designed primarily for lifestyle and casual wear. While they offer good cushioning, they may not provide the specialized support and technology required for intense or long-distance running compared to modern performance running shoes.

How do I determine my correct UK size?

Refer to the size chart provided by Saucony or the retailer. Generally, the UK size is indicated on the shoe's label. If unsure, measure your foot length and compare it to the sizing guide.

Can I wear these trainers in wet conditions?

While they offer some protection, they are not waterproof. Avoid wearing them in heavy rain or puddles to preserve the materials and prevent discomfort. Ensure they are thoroughly dried if they do get wet.

What is the main difference between the original Trainer 80 and this reproduction?

The reproduction faithfully captures the original design and materials, including the high-density EVA foam. The primary modernization is the elimination of the outdated cardboard layer in the midsole construction, resulting in a softer, more responsive feel for contemporary comfort.

How do I clean the purple and orange colorway?

For the purple and orange colorway, use a soft brush or cloth with a mild soap and water solution for spot cleaning. Avoid abrasive cleaners or soaking the shoes. Always air dry.

What is the intended use for the Saucony Trainer 80?

The Saucony Trainer 80 is intended for everyday wear, casual outings, and light athletic activities. They offer a blend of retro style and modern comfort for walking and general daily use.

Does the Trainer 80 come in other colors besides purple/orange?

Yes, the Trainer 80 series is available in a variety of colorways, including this purple and orange option, catering to different style preferences.

Troubleshooting

Initial tightness or discomfort

The Trainer 80 may require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time as they conform to your foot.

Squeaking noise

This can sometimes occur with new shoes. Try applying a small amount of talcum powder under the insole or check for loose components. If persistent, contact customer support.

Reduced cushioning over time

The EVA foam may compress with extensive use. For prolonged comfort, consider using aftermarket insoles or replacing the shoes after significant wear.
