Introducing two new running shoe fashions from Saucony. We've combined an innovative design concept with all the features of our Runner's World 5-Star men's shoes into these attractive new women's shoes — Ms. Trainer 1980 and Ms. Hornet.

If you run miles every day to prepare for competition ... Ms. Trainer 1980 is the shoe for you. Its blue nylon uppers are trimmed with blue suede and a gold and blue Sau-cony stripe. The stud-type sole provides the cushioning that's vital for miles and miles of training.

If you run for pleasure and personal challenge . . . Ms. Hornet is the perfect shoe for you. Its beige nylon uppers are trimmed with tan suede and a brown and gold Sac-cony stripe. A seamless toe design is one of many features that makes this shoe super comfortable.

Ask for Ms. Trainer 1980 and Ms. Hornet at your favorite running shop or sporting goods store. Because a shoe that fits perfectly, is as comfortable as a cloud, and supports better than Grandma's orthopedics . . . doesn't have to be ugly.

Ms. Trainer 1980 and Ms. Hornet are the only training shoes constructed with Sau-cony's unique hinged insole. Firm fiberboard at the heel and toe is hinged by a velour strip at the ball of the foot to provide the ultimate in flexibility. An-other innovative concept from Saucony to improve your running.

Saucony Gripper 1970s vintage sneaker ad

Today we've got an old school vintage ad for the Saucony Gripper sneakers from around 1977-78. 👟🔥

Saucony Rod Dixon trainers vintage ad

Here's an old Saucony 1985 vintage ad for the Dixon trainers featuring New Zealander and NYC marathon winner Rod Dixon. The shoe featured the "Dixon Mattress" and the "Dixon Window." According to this ad the "Dixon Mattress" was an EVA midsole wedge that had tiny holes drilled in it for extra cushioning on impact. The "Dixon Window" was a collapsible backtab that would relieve nagging tension on your Achilles tendon over long runs. There was also a "supersoft protective insert under the metatarsal" (where the red stripe is) was supposed to provide a springy trampoline effect. Saucony still makes these shoes as the DXN trainer.

​Ad info is below:

Rod Dixon wasn't satisfied until we put a mattress, a window and a trampoline in these shoes. 

Before Rod Dixon let us put his name on these trainers, he took them for a run. And another. And another. And he came back with a few suggestions. First, he said, how about an EVA midsole wedge with tiny holes drilled in it. For extra cushioning on impact. We suggested the name Dixon Mattress. He said that would be just fine. Then, Rod said, how about a feature in the backtab that would relieve nagging tension on your Achilles tendon over long runs. We designed a collapsible backtab, suggested the name Dixon Window, and Rod said that would be just fine. Then, he said, it sure would be nice to build in a trampoline effect that adds spring during the toeing-off phase. Perhaps, he went on, a supersoft protective insert under the metatarsal head coupled with a flatter outsole. We agreed that would be just fine. Now, Rod Dixon is a world class runner. A New York Marathon winner. And a tough customer to satisfy. So when he said our Dixon Trainers were good enough to wear his name—that was good enough for us. Just one question remains: Are they good enough for you?

Saucony Trainer 1980 vintage sneaker ad

Here's a Saucony 1979 ad for the 'Trainer 1980' featuring Edwin Roberts who is an Olympic medalist and was the track coach at Temple University.

Ad info is below:

Saucony's new Trainer 1980 exposes the secret to comfort

Look under the sock liner There's nothing there but soft foam. We've eliminated the insole board to make a shoe that guarantees carpet-cushioned running ease. Trainer 1980 is the only training shoe made this way . . . with increased cushioning, but lighter in weight than any other. And it's hand-crafted on a last designed primarily for elite-class runners.

Saucony's grip-fit counter, contoured nylon uppers, flared heel and mid-sole, and wider toe box position the foot firmly over a Nora-Tuff° sole that's more durable and diffuses shock more effectively. So if you're looking forward to miles and miles of no-stress training .. . get just the right combination of lightweight comfort and durable support. Try on Saucony's new Trainer 1980 at your running shop or sporting goods store. You'll feel the difference. On your feet and in your pocket.
