FAQs
Are Nike AL8 Trainers suitable for running?
The Nike AL8 Trainers are designed primarily for casual wear, walking, and everyday comfort. While they offer good cushioning, they are not specifically engineered for high-performance running or intense athletic training.
How do I determine my size?
The Nike AL8 Trainers are generally considered true to size. We recommend purchasing your usual UK shoe size. For specific measurements, refer to Nike's official size guide.
Can I machine wash my Nike AL8 Trainers?
No, machine washing is not recommended for Nike AL8 Trainers due to their suede and leather components. It can damage the materials, adhesives, and overall structure. Please follow the specific care instructions provided in the guide.
What is the primary material of the upper?
The upper of the Nike AL8 Trainers features a combination of breathable mesh for ventilation, complemented by premium suede and leather panels for durability and style.
Are these trainers waterproof?
The Nike AL8 Trainers are not waterproof. The mesh upper and suede panels will allow water to penetrate. We recommend applying a suitable water and stain repellent spray designed for mixed-material footwear for added protection in damp conditions.
What is the benefit of the chunky foam midsole?
The chunky foam midsole provides superior cushioning, absorbing impact and offering exceptional comfort for all-day wear. It also contributes to the modern, stylish aesthetic of the trainers.
Troubleshooting
Trainers feel too tight or loose
Ensure you have the correct size. Nike AL8 trainers are generally true to size, but individual foot shapes vary. Try adjusting the lacing pattern for a more comfortable fit. If discomfort persists, consider trying a different size.
Suede/Leather appears dirty or stained
For light dirt, use a dedicated suede brush to gently remove debris. For stains, apply a specialized suede or leather cleaner to the affected area, following the product's instructions. Always test on an inconspicuous area first. Act quickly on stains.
Midsole cushioning feels less responsive over time
Foam midsoles can compress with prolonged use. While expected over time, ensure you are using the trainers for their intended casual purpose. Excessive wear or high-impact activities might accelerate compression. Store trainers properly to maintain sole integrity.
Unpleasant odor develops
Allow trainers to air out thoroughly after each wear. Remove insoles and let them dry separately if needed. Use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside overnight to absorb odors. Avoid wearing the same pair every day to let them fully dry out.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility

Care
Proper care is essential to maintain the appearance and longevity of your Nike AL8 Trainers, especially due to their premium suede and leather components.
- Regular Cleaning: Gently brush off loose dirt and dust from the mesh, suede, and leather using a soft brush or cloth after each wear.
- Spot Cleaning: For stains on suede, use a specialized suede cleaner and brush, working gently in one direction. For leather, wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap, then wipe clean with a fresh damp cloth. Allow to air dry completely.
- Mesh Cleaning: A mild detergent diluted in water can be used with a soft brush for the mesh sections. Avoid harsh scrubbing.
- Avoid Submerging: Do not machine wash or submerge the trainers in water, as this can damage the materials, especially suede and foam midsole.
- Protection: Consider using a water and stain repellent spray specifically designed for sneakers with mixed materials to protect against the elements.
- Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures to prevent material degradation. Use shoe trees or stuff with paper to help maintain their shape.
