FAQs
Are these trainers true to size?
Nike AL8 Trainers are generally considered true to size based on standard UK women's shoe sizing. However, foot shapes vary, so if you are between sizes, consider trying both or checking Nike's official size guide.
Can I wear these trainers for running or gym workouts?
These trainers are designed for casual wear and fashion. While comfortable for everyday walking, they are not engineered with the specific support or cushioning required for high-impact activities like running or intensive gym workouts.
How do I protect the suede from water and stains?
It is highly recommended to apply a high-quality suede protector spray to the trainers before their first wear and to reapply periodically. This creates a barrier against water and common stains. Avoid wearing them in heavy rain.
What is the best way to clean the 'Triple Black' suede?
For routine cleaning, use a soft-bristled suede brush to remove loose dirt. For scuffs or stains, a specialized suede eraser can be effective. For deeper cleaning, use a suede-specific cleaner with a soft cloth, following the product's instructions carefully. Always allow them to air dry completely.
Are replacement laces available?
Info needed: [Availability of official Nike replacement laces for this specific model]. Standard flat black laces of a similar length should also be compatible.
Do these trainers offer arch support?
The Nike AL8 Trainers offer standard comfortable cushioning suitable for casual wear. Info needed: [Specific details on arch support or any advanced insole technology are not provided. For significant arch support needs, you may consider adding custom insoles].
Troubleshooting
Suede appears matted or dirty
Gently brush the entire surface with a dedicated suede brush. For tougher spots, use a suede eraser to lift the dirt, then re-brush.
Trainers feel too loose or too tight
Adjust the lacing. Ensure laces are evenly tensioned across the top of your foot. For a tighter fit, pull each lace section firmer; for a looser fit, ease the tension.
Foot discomfort during wear
Ensure you have the correct size. Review the lacing tightness – sometimes overtightening can cause discomfort. Consider wearing appropriate socks for cushioning.
Minor scuffs or scratches on suede
Lightly rub the affected area with a clean, dry finger or a soft cloth in a circular motion. A suede brush can also help blend the fibers.

Care Instructions
Maintaining the suede material is crucial for the longevity and appearance of your Nike AL8 Trainers.
- Protect from Moisture: Suede is highly susceptible to water damage. Consider applying a suede protector spray before initial wear and periodically thereafter.
- Regular Cleaning: Use a suede brush to gently remove dirt and dust. Brush in one direction to maintain the nap of the suede.
- Spot Cleaning: For stubborn marks, use a specialized suede eraser or a damp cloth with a small amount of mild suede cleaner. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use harsh detergents, bleach, or put them in a washing machine, as this can severely damage the suede and adhesives.
- Air Dry: If they become wet, stuff them with paper towels to absorb moisture and maintain their shape, then allow them to air dry away from direct heat or sunlight.
