FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The 808 model features a standard athletic fit; however, the leather material will naturally stretch and contour to your foot shape over time.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
No. Machine washing can damage the leather, degrade the adhesive, and warp the shoe's structure. Always clean by hand.
Are these strictly for skating?
While designed as high-performance skate trainers, their aesthetic and comfort levels make them excellent for general casual wear as well.
How do I determine my size?
These trainers follow standard adult sizing. It is recommended to choose your usual athletic shoe size.
Does the white leather stain easily?
As with any white leather shoe, they are susceptible to dirt. Using a protective spray before your first wear can help minimize staining.
Troubleshooting
Leather surface scuffing
Use a specialized leather cleaner or a matching white leather polish to buff out minor surface abrasions.
Insole discomfort
Ensure the stock insole is seated flat; if you have specific arch requirements, these trainers easily accommodate aftermarket orthotic insoles.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Tiago Lemos 808 trainers last as long as possible, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt. For tougher stains on the leather, use a damp cloth with mild soap.
- Drying: Always air dry your shoes at room temperature. Avoid placing them near radiators or direct heat sources, as this can cause the leather to crack.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to prevent color fading.
- Protection: Consider using a leather-safe water and stain repellent spray to guard against the elements, especially given the predominantly white colorway.
