Yes, because the trainers come up small, it is recommended to choose half a size larger than your standard size for the best fit.
The upper is constructed primarily from high-quality suede.
While designed for skateboarding, the cushioning makes them suitable for general walking and casual athletic use.
Use a specialized suede brush to remove debris and avoid water or harsh chemicals that can stain or stiffen the material.
The 808L is an enhanced version engineered to be lighter and more flexible while retaining the core impact protection of the original.
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.
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.
Ensure the laces are tightened specifically at the eyelets near the ankle to engage the zonal heel pods effectively.
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.
