Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your 808L trainers remain in peak condition:
- Breaking In: Wear the shoes for casual activities for 2-3 days before heavy skating to allow the materials to contour to your foot shape.
- Suede Maintenance: Use a dedicated suede brush to remove loose dirt after each session. Avoid washing machines or submerging the shoes in water, as this can degrade the suede fibers.
- Lacing: Ensure the laces are snug across the midfoot to leverage the internal lockdown features, but avoid overtightening to keep circulation optimal.
- Storage: Keep your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the suede from fading and the rubber from becoming brittle.
