FAQs
Is the 808L suitable for wide feet?
The 808L offers a standard fit, but the mesh underlays provide some natural flex; those with significantly wider feet may want to try them on to ensure the cup sole construction does not feel too tight.
Does this shoe come with extra laces?
The product includes standard laces appropriate for the design; extra laces are not provided in the standard box.
Can I use these for running?
While the FuelCell midsole provides great cushioning, these are designed as skate trainers and lack the specific stability and motion control features required for long-distance running.
How do I protect the suede from water?
It is recommended to use a high-quality water and stain repellent spray specifically formulated for suede and nubuck materials before the first wear.
Are the insoles removable?
Yes, the insoles are removable, allowing for the use of custom orthotics if necessary.
How does the sizing compare to other New Balance models?
The Numeric series generally runs true to size. If you are familiar with standard New Balance UK sizing, you should select your usual size.
Troubleshooting
Heel slippage while walking or skating
Ensure the laces are tightened specifically at the eyelets near the ankle to engage the zonal heel pods effectively.
Suede looks dull or matted
Use a suede brush or a clean eraser to gently lift the nap of the suede back to its original texture.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your New Balance Numeric 808L trainers, avoid machine washing, which can damage the suede and the integrity of the cup sole adhesive. Instead, use a soft-bristled brush to remove surface dirt and debris after use. For deeper cleaning, apply a suede-specific cleaner sparingly, and allow the shoes to air dry away from direct heat sources. To maintain the shape of the interior heel pods, always unlace the shoes properly before taking them off rather than stepping on the heels. The 808L uses standard lacing systems and is compatible with most aftermarket supportive insoles if you require additional arch customization.
