Description: >Offered here for your consideration is an old & original 1978 SAUCONY PACESETTERS pair of spiked running shoes!! Please see all seven photos, as they are an important part of my description. From a local estate here in "Tracktown, USA" (Eugene, Oregon), this vintage pair of Saucony Pacesetter (model #8834) running shoes measure approximately 11 1/2" in length (toe to heel) and are yellow and blue in color. I see no information on the actual size inside the spikes. Each shoe's "uppers" appear to be nylon material, with leatherette Saucony logos attached to both sides of each shoe. There are suede reinforcements throughout each shoe (toe, heel, shoelace holes). Both of the blue shoelaces appear to be original. Note: I would not recommend wearing these shoes in training or competition; they are being offered as a "collectible pair" of vintage Saucony running shoes from over forty-five years ago! >History: Saucony was a competitive brand of running/track and field shoes, going up against the likes of Nike, Adidas, Puma and New Balance during the 1970's running boom. Saucony was a subsidiary of Hyde Athletic Industries, located in Kutztown, Pennsylvania. In 1978, Temple University track coach Edwin Roberts can be seen in print ads in popular running publications as he promoted the Saucony brand. In those ads, the Saucony Pacesetter spikes were described thusly: "Gold with blue trim, and an extremely high-abrasion "Tufcrepe" sole in Caprice design. The sole is flared and rolled, and the heel wedge assures maximum shock absorption". <>Condition: one of the shoes exhibits some grayish paint splatters (can possible remove with a little TLC!). The interior tongue's innards are breaking down a bit, with a fine powder leaking out of each tongue. Otherwise, this vintage Saucony pair of track spikes don't appear to have been worn very much, based on the overall condition!
