FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for running?

While inspired by running shoes and offering good traction, the AL8 trainers are primarily designed for casual wear and everyday comfort. For intense or competitive running, dedicated running shoes are recommended.

How do I know if I have the right size?

We recommend trying them on if possible. If purchasing online, compare your foot measurements to the Nike sizing chart and consider your preferred sock thickness.

Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, sole, and adhesive. Hand clean with mild soap and water.

What is the main benefit of the Waffle sole?

The Waffle sole provides excellent traction and durability, referencing classic Nike running shoe designs while offering reliable grip for various surfaces.

How do I clean the white trainers to keep them looking fresh?

Regularly wipe down with a damp cloth and mild soap solution. Address stains promptly. Allow them to air dry completely away from heat.

What era of style do these trainers represent?

They are inspired by the '90s era, blending nostalgic design elements with modern comfort features.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Wear with thinner socks initially, or consider wearing them in gradually for a few hours at a time to allow them to stretch slightly.

Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces

Ensure the Waffle sole is clean and free from debris. The traction is designed for typical urban and athletic surfaces; very smooth or wet surfaces may reduce grip.

Mesh upper appears dirty

Gently clean with a soft brush and a mild soap and water solution. For stubborn dirt, a specialized shoe cleaner designed for mesh may be used sparingly.

Embroidery is snagged

Carefully trim any snagged threads with small, sharp scissors. Avoid pulling on the snagged area to prevent further damage to the embroidery.
