FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running or intense workouts?
The Nike AL8 Trainers are primarily designed for casual wear and everyday comfort. While they offer excellent cushioning for walking and light activities, they are not engineered for high-performance running or intense athletic training.
How do I clean the mesh upper?
To clean the mesh upper, gently scrub with a soft brush (like an old toothbrush) and a solution of mild soap and lukewarm water. Wipe clean with a damp cloth and air dry.
Is the black color true to the images?
Yes, the Nike AL8 Trainers in black feature a deep, monochromatic black colorway across all materials for a consistent and versatile look.
What materials are used in the construction?
These trainers are constructed with a breathable mesh upper, complemented by premium suede and leather panels, and a chunky foam midsole for cushioning.
Do these trainers run true to size?
Nike AL8 Trainers generally run true to size. We recommend selecting your usual UK shoe size for the best fit. If you are between sizes, consider trying both to determine optimal comfort.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, adhesives, and overall structure of the trainers. Please follow the manual cleaning instructions for best results.
How can I protect the suede elements?
To protect the suede, consider applying a reputable suede protector spray before first wear and periodically thereafter. This helps repel water and resist stains.
Troubleshooting
Trainers feel too tight or uncomfortable.
Ensure you've chosen the correct UK size. New trainers often require a short 'break-in' period. Try wearing them for shorter durations initially to allow them to conform to your foot.
Suede panels look dirty or scuffed.
Use a specialized suede brush to gently remove dirt and restore the nap. For tougher stains, use a suede cleaner specifically designed for the material.
Trainers have an unpleasant odor.
Remove insoles and air out the trainers regularly. Use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside when not in use. Ensure trainers are completely dry after wearing.
Foam midsole looks worn or compressed quickly.
Foam midsoles naturally compress over time with wear. To maximize lifespan, rotate between multiple pairs of shoes if possible. This product is designed for daily casual wear, not high-impact athletic training.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
No special setup is required for the Nike AL8 Trainers. Simply unbox and wear them. Ensure you have selected the correct UK size (5.5 for this variant) for optimal fit.
Compatibility
These trainers are designed for adult females. They are suitable for various foot types, but it is always recommended to try them on to ensure a comfortable fit, especially given the structured upper. They pair well with a wide range of casual and athleisure apparel.
Care
Proper care extends the life and appearance of your trainers.
- Cleaning: For the mesh upper, use a soft brush and mild soap with water. For suede and leather panels, use specific suede/leather cleaner and brushes. Avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing.
- Drying: Always air dry trainers at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or artificial heat sources like radiators, as this can damage materials and adhesives.
- Storage: Store trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
- Protection: Consider applying a water and stain protector spray, especially for the suede elements, to help guard against the elements.
