FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, the New Balance Numeric 808 generally fits true to standard UK shoe sizing.
Can I use these for running?
These are primarily designed as skate trainers and lack the specific cushioning needed for long-distance running.
How do I remove stains from the white leather?
Wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap. For tougher stains, use a specialized leather cleaning foam.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The round toe design offers a comfortable fit for many foot shapes, though individual fit preference may vary.
What is the best way to break them in?
Wear them for short periods around the house before taking them for a full skating session to soften the leather.
Are these waterproof?
No, while leather is naturally water-resistant, these are not fully waterproof and should be dried if exposed to heavy rain.
Troubleshooting
Laces coming undone during activity
Use a double-knot or secure the laces within the side webbing to maintain a tighter fit.
Leather creasing or scuffing
Minor creasing is natural; use a leather conditioner to keep the material supple and apply a leather-safe touch-up paint for deep scuffs.
Accumulation of debris inside the shoe
Remove the insole periodically to shake out loose gravel and dirt trapped during outdoor use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your New Balance Numeric 808s, start by loosening the laces fully before sliding your foot in to avoid heel crushing. Compatibility is universal across standard foot shapes; however, ensure you select your correct UK sizing for optimal lockdown. To care for the white leather, use a soft, damp cloth or a dedicated leather cleaner after skating in muddy or dusty conditions. Avoid machine washing, as the heat and water can compromise the structural integrity of the leather and adhesives. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources to prevent cracking.
