Product Information

Full details

The Saucony Trainer 80 is a retro-inspired trainer for adults seeking a blend of heritage running technology and modern street style. Its key benefit is the revolutionary EVA foam cushioning that offers a softer, more responsive feel than traditional designs. A potential caveat is that while reimagined for today, its retro construction might not suit those seeking the absolute latest in performance running technology.

FAQs

What makes the EVA foam in the Trainer 80 revolutionary?

The Trainer 80 was one of the first shoes to integrate high-density EVA foam, which provided a significantly softer and more responsive feel compared to the cardboard layers used in previous footwear designs.

Are these shoes suitable for actual running?

The Trainer 80 is designed with heritage running technology and modern street style in mind. They offer comfort for daily wear and light activities but are not engineered for high-performance or competitive running.

How do I clean the Trainer 80s?

Clean them with a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth. Avoid submerging them in water or using harsh cleaning agents.

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

The reissue faithfully reimagines the original's retro charm and revolutionary cushioning system, updating it with modern construction techniques and available colorways for contemporary street style.

Can I wear these trainers if I have wide feet?

The Trainer 80 is designed as a unisex trainer. While specific width options are not detailed, the lacing system allows for some adjustment. Refer to sizing charts or try them on if possible for the best fit.

What materials are the Trainer 80s made from?

The product information indicates materials like leather are used in some variants, combined with the signature EVA foam sole.

Troubleshooting

Sizing feels incorrect

Refer to the Saucony sizing guide and compare measurements. Ensure the laces are properly adjusted for a secure fit. If issues persist, consider trying a different size.

Discomfort during initial wear

The Trainer 80 may require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time. Ensure laces are not tied too tightly.

Material scuffs or marks easily

Clean gently with a damp cloth. For persistent marks, use a specialized shoe cleaner suitable for the trainer's materials. Consider using a protective spray designed for footwear.

Reduced cushioning over time

While EVA foam is durable, its cushioning properties can diminish with extensive use. For prolonged comfort, ensure you are not using them for activities beyond their intended scope (e.g., intense running).

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Saucony Trainer 80 requires no specific setup; they are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure you have selected the correct size for optimal comfort and fit.

Compatibility: These trainers are designed for adult use and are unisex. They are compatible with a wide range of casual outfits. While not designed for competitive running, they can be used for light athletic activities.

Care: To maintain the appearance and longevity of your Trainer 80s:

  1. Cleaning: For minor dirt, use a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or soaking the shoes.
  2. Drying: If they get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
