FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

Yes, the New Balance Numeric 808L fits true to standard adult sizing.

How do I clean the suede upper?

Use a dry, soft brush to remove dust and a dedicated suede eraser for minor stains. Avoid water and standard soap.

Can I use these for running?

While durable, these are specifically engineered as skate trainers and lack the motion-control features required for long-distance running.

What is the benefit of the FuelCell midsole?

FuelCell provides superior impact protection and higher energy return compared to traditional EVA foam.

Are these unisex?

Yes, they are designed as unisex trainers.

What is NDurance rubber?

It is a highly durable rubber compound used by New Balance on high-wear areas of the outsole to maximize product life.

Troubleshooting

Visible dirt or scuffs on suede

Use a specialized suede brush to gently lift dirt and restore the nap of the material.

Feeling of heel slippage

Adjust the tightness of the upper laces to better engage the internal zonal heel pods for a secure lock.

Outsole losing grip

Clean the bottom of the shoes with a damp cloth to remove accumulated dust or debris that can obstruct traction.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Superior impact protection via FuelCell technology
  • Enhanced board feel due to lightweight design
  • Durable NDurance outsole for extended longevity
  • Secure fit with integrated heel pods
  • Versatile 90s-inspired style

Cons

  • Suede material is sensitive to moisture and dirt
  • Requires a break-in period for optimal flexibility
  • Limited to specific aesthetic preferences

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your trainers, avoid submerging them in water, as this can damage the suede upper. Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt or dust regularly. If the shoes become wet, air dry them naturally away from direct heat sources to prevent material cracking or warping. For a secure fit, adjust the laces to utilize the zonal heel pods, ensuring they sit flush against the heel without causing pressure points. The neutral black and white colorway is compatible with most casual wardrobes, making them an versatile choice for both the skate park and daily street use.
