FAQs

Is the 808L suitable for wide feet?

The 808L features a standard fit. While the materials provide some give over time, those with wider feet may consider going up half a size if they find the initial fit too restrictive.

How does the FuelCell midsole perform over time?

FuelCell is designed to maintain its rebound properties, but like all performance foam, it will eventually compress. The durability is excellent for daily skate and casual use.

Can I wash these in the washing machine?

No. Machine washing can ruin the suede material and weaken the adhesives used in the cemented cup sole construction.

Are these shoes unisex?

Yes, they are designed as unisex trainers. Please refer to the UK sizing provided to ensure the correct conversion for your fit.

What is the primary difference between the 808 and 808L?

The 808L is an enhanced, updated version engineered to be lighter and more flexible than the original 808 silhouette.

Does the suede material fade?

Suede is a natural material that can show wear and color changes over time, especially when exposed to high-friction areas or direct sunlight.

Troubleshooting

Heel slippage while walking or skating

Ensure the laces are tightened properly, focusing on the top eyelets to engage the zonal heel pods for a tighter lock.

Suede appears dull or dirty

Use a specialized suede brush to lift the nap and remove surface dirt, or use a suede eraser for localized stains.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the best fit, verify your UK size against standard athletic sizing. Since the 808L is a unisex model, the fit is generally true to size for both men and women. For care, avoid machine washing; instead, use a soft brush to remove loose dirt from the suede. If you encounter deep stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner or a rubber eraser tool. To protect the upper from moisture and dirt, applying a water-repellent spray designed for suede can help extend the life of the material. When not in use, store your trainers in a cool, dry place to maintain the integrity of the foam and the structure of the upper.
