Product Information
Full details
The Saucony Trainer 80 is a unisex trainer for adults seeking a blend of retro aesthetics and modern performance. Its key benefit lies in the revolutionary high-density EVA foam midsole, offering a softer, more responsive feel than its 1978 predecessors. A potential caveat is that while faithfully reproduced, its retro design may not appeal to those seeking cutting-edge, minimalist athletic footwear.

FAQs
When were the Saucony Trainer 80 originally released?
The Saucony Trainer 80 was originally released in 1978.
What made the original Trainer 80 revolutionary?
It was one of the first running shoes to integrate high-density EVA foam into its midsole and omit a cardboard layer, resulting in a softer, more responsive, and lighter feel.
Are these shoes suitable for serious running?
While they offer responsive cushioning, they are best suited for casual wear, walking, and light training rather than intense, high-mileage running, as they are a reproduction of a 1970s design.
How do I clean my Trainer 80s?
Clean with a damp cloth and mild soap solution. Avoid machine washing and use air drying.
What materials are the Trainer 80 made from?
They feature a reproduction of the original design, including the innovative EVA foam midsole and materials representative of the era, updated for modern comfort and durability.
Do these shoes come in other colors?
Yes, the Trainer 80 is available in a series of vibrant colorways, reflecting its retro charm with a modern edge.
What is the primary benefit of the EVA foam in this shoe?
The high-density EVA foam provides superior cushioning and a more responsive feel compared to traditional materials used in shoes from that period.
Troubleshooting
Shoe feels too tight or loose
Adjust the lacing system. For a tighter fit, ensure laces are evenly secured. For a looser feel, loosen the laces, especially around the midfoot.
Slight discomfort during initial wear
This is common with new shoes. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time to allow them to break in.
Discoloration or scuff marks
Clean gently with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. For stubborn marks, a specific shoe cleaner for the material might be required, following product instructions.

Compatibility: These trainers are designed for general adult use and are compatible with a wide range of casual apparel. They are not specifically engineered for specialized athletic performance beyond light training.
Care: To maintain the Trainer 80:
- Cleaning: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt. For tougher stains, a mild soap and water solution can be applied sparingly with a cloth or soft brush. Avoid machine washing.
