Product Information

Full details

The Saucony Trainer 80 is a retro-inspired trainer designed for adults seeking a blend of heritage style and modern comfort for everyday wear. Its key benefit is the combination of a responsive EVA midsole and durable outsole, offering a comfortable experience for walking and casual use. A potential caveat is that while inspired by running heritage, it is primarily suited for casual wear rather than high-performance athletic activities.

FAQs

Are the Saucony Trainer 80 suitable for running?

While inspired by running heritage and featuring cushioning, the Trainer 80 is primarily designed for casual wear and everyday comfort, not for high-performance athletic running.

How do I clean the mesh and suede parts?

Use a soft brush for dry dirt. For stains, a slightly damp cloth with mild soap can be used. For suede, consider specialized suede cleaners and protectors, and avoid saturating the material with water.

What is the main benefit of the EVA midsole?

The full-length EVA (Ethylene-vinyl acetate) midsole provides lightweight cushioning and shock absorption, contributing to all-day comfort and a responsive feel.

What does 'retro charm intact and a modern edge' mean?

It means the shoe retains the classic design elements and silhouette from its original release (1978), while incorporating updated materials and construction techniques for improved comfort and durability suitable for today's wear.

How do these shoes compare to modern running shoes?

Modern running shoes often feature more advanced technologies, specialized support systems, and performance-oriented designs. The Trainer 80 offers a balance of comfort and classic style for casual use, rather than cutting-edge athletic performance.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

The shoes offer some protection, but they are not waterproof. The suede material can be affected by excessive moisture. It's best to avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain.

What is the typical lifespan of these trainers?

For casual wear, they can last several years with proper care. If used frequently for walking, the lifespan will depend on the amount of wear and tear, similar to other casual trainers.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Ensure you have the correct size. Try wearing thinner socks. If the issue persists, consider a different size or width if available.

Suede material looks worn or dirty

Use a suede brush to restore the nap. For stubborn marks, use a specialized suede cleaner following product instructions. Apply a suede protector for future prevention.

Reduced cushioning over time

The EVA midsole will naturally compress with use. For continued comfort, consider replacing the shoes after significant wear, typically after 300-500 miles of active use or several years of casual wear.

Traction seems poor

Check the outsole for embedded debris (mud, stones) and clean it gently. Ensure the outsole is not excessively worn down. If worn, replacement may be necessary.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Offers excellent all-day comfort due to the EVA midsole.
  • Combines a stylish retro design with modern materials.
  • Provides good traction for everyday walking and urban environments.
  • Durable construction suitable for regular use.
  • Breathable upper materials keep feet comfortable.

Cons

  • Not designed for high-intensity athletic training or competitive running.
  • Suede material may require specific care to maintain its appearance.
  • Limited colorway options may not suit all preferences (though this specific guide is for Grey).
  • May offer less specialized support than dedicated running shoes.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Saucony Trainer 80 requires no setup. Simply remove them from the box and they are ready for wear.

Compatibility: These trainers are designed for general adult use. They are compatible with most casual and athletic-inspired attire. They are not intended for specialized sports equipment.

Care:

  1. Cleaning Uppers: For the mesh and suede, use a soft brush to remove loose dirt. For stains, use a slightly damp cloth and a mild soap solution. Avoid excessive water, especially on the suede.
  2. Midsole and Outsole: Wipe clean with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
  3. Drying: Air dry away from direct heat sources. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
  4. Suede Care: Consider using a suede protector spray to help repel water and stains.
