FAQs

Do I need to size up for the 808L?

Yes, because the trainers come up small, it is recommended to choose half a size larger than your standard size for the best fit.

What is the primary material used for the upper?

The upper is constructed primarily from high-quality suede.

Can I use these for sports other than skateboarding?

While designed for skateboarding, the cushioning makes them suitable for general walking and casual athletic use.

How do I maintain the suede material?

Use a specialized suede brush to remove debris and avoid water or harsh chemicals that can stain or stiffen the material.

What makes the 808L different from the original 808?

The 808L is an enhanced version engineered to be lighter and more flexible while retaining the core impact protection of the original.

Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?

Given the snug fit of the model, those with wide feet should certainly consider sizing up by at least half a size to accommodate width.

Troubleshooting

Feeling of excessive tightness across the midfoot

Try relacing the shoes using a 'window' lacing technique to relieve pressure, or confirm if the size is correct according to the 'half-size up' recommendation.

Heel slippage occurring during movement

Ensure the laces are tightened specifically at the eyelets near the ankle to engage the zonal heel pods effectively.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent impact absorption from FuelCell technology
  • High-traction rubber compound for long-term wear
  • Secure fit provided by specialized heel pods
  • Modern, lightweight design inspired by classic 90s style

Cons

  • Runs small, requiring potential size adjustment
  • Suede material requires careful cleaning
  • Design may be too bulky for those preferring minimalist silhouettes

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the best experience, start by trying on these trainers with the specific socks you intend to wear, remembering that they run small—sizing up by half a size is recommended. Because the upper is constructed from suede, keep the shoes away from excessive moisture and deep mud. To clean, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt from the suede, and spot clean with a professional suede cleaner if necessary. Avoid machine washing or using high-heat drying methods, as these can degrade the foam midsole and the adhesive integrity of the cup sole.
