FAQs

What makes the Trainer 80 different from modern running shoes?

The Trainer 80 prioritizes retro style and all-day comfort with its EVA midsole. Modern running shoes often feature more advanced, specialized technologies for performance, such as specific support systems or energy-return foams.

Are these shoes suitable for long-distance running?

While inspired by running heritage and offering good cushioning, the Trainer 80 is best suited for casual wear, walking, and light activities. For serious long-distance running, dedicated performance running shoes are recommended.

How do I clean the suede parts of the shoe?

Gently brush off dry dirt with a suede brush. For stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner and a slightly damp cloth, testing first. Allow to air dry completely.

What does 'high-density EVA foam' mean for comfort?

High-density EVA foam provides a balance of cushioning and support. It absorbs impact effectively while maintaining its shape, offering a comfortable and responsive feel throughout the day.

Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?

The mesh and suede materials are not inherently waterproof. While the treaded outsole offers grip, it is advisable to avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain or wet conditions to protect the materials and maintain comfort.

What is the origin of the Trainer 80 series?

The Trainer 80 was originally launched in 1978 and was revolutionary for its time by integrating high-density EVA foam and removing a traditional cardboard layer, leading to a softer, more responsive feel.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Ensure you have selected the correct size. If they are new, they may need a short break-in period. Wearing them with thinner socks can also help initially.

Suede material looks dull or dirty

Use a suede brush to restore the nap. For stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and follow the product's instructions carefully.

Traction feels reduced

Clean any mud or debris from the outsole treads. If the outsole appears significantly worn down, consider replacing the shoes.
