FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, the New Balance Numeric 808 generally fits true to standard adult UK sizes, though the snug construction may feel different if you are used to looser styles.
Can I use these for sports other than skating?
While designed for skating, their stability and durability make them excellent for general walking and casual wear.
How do I maintain the white colour?
Regularly wipe the shoes with a damp cloth and use leather-safe cleaners. Avoid harsh chemicals that may bleach or strip the finish.
Are these shoes waterproof?
They are not waterproof, but the leather upper provides some resistance against light rain. Avoid submerging them in water.
Do these shoes provide good arch support?
They feature a standard supportive footbed consistent with professional skate trainers, though those with specific medical arch needs may consider adding their own orthotic insoles.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight out of the box
Leather shoes often require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations indoors to help them soften and stretch slightly.
Difficulty keeping the white leather clean
Use a specialized sneaker cleaning kit and a soft-bristled brush to treat stains immediately before they set into the leather grain.
Laces coming untied frequently
Double-knotting the laces or replacing them with higher-friction wax-coated laces can provide a more secure hold.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maximize the lifespan of your Tiago Lemos 808s, start by loosening the laces fully to accommodate your foot during the first few wears. Since these are leather, they will soften and mold to your foot shape over time. For care, avoid machine washing as it can damage the leather integrity; instead, wipe the surface with a damp cloth and mild soap. If the shoes get wet, air dry them naturally away from direct heat sources to prevent the leather from cracking. To maintain the white color, consider using a specialized leather cleaner or a soft brush to remove surface debris after each outing.
