FAQ

You've got questions. We've got the answers.

Company Information

What’s the name all about?

The name LANE EIGHT comes from the world of track and field. In a race, the 8th lane is typically one of the hardest lanes to start from since you’re on the outside and you have to run your own race – but you’re still in the race, which means you’ve still got a shot. That’s the attitude that we embrace. Want to learn more? Read the story of our name here.

We are always working on new colours and looks. To get the most up-to-date info for release dates, sign up to our email and follow us on Instagram @laneeight to be the first to know.

Product Information

How do your shoes fit?

The Relay Trainer is based on a tried-and-tested running last and fits true-to-size. We recommend going with your usual size.

The Trainer AD 1 generally fits true to size. They’re designed for a close, supportive fit and may feel a bit snug at first, but will quickly break-in. However, if you have a wide foot we recommend going up a half size.

HIIT Trainer features the same last as the Trainer AD 1 but has a more structured upper and fits true to size. We recommend going with your usual size.

If you are still unsure of which size to go for, check out our comprehensive size guide.

I don't see my size. What do I do?

Our shoes are unisex and therefore offer the same fit for women and men. Please note there is one full US size difference between women’s and men’s sizes. For example, if you are a women’s US 10, the equivalent men’s size is US 9.

What’s the heel to toe drop?

The Relay Trainer features a classic 8mm heel-to-drop. The Trainer AD 1 and the HIIT Trainer both feature a heel-to-toe drop of 10mm but due to the textured sockliner, they feel closer to 8mm.

Can I remove the sockliners?

Yes, our sockliners are easily removable. So if you need to wear your own orthotics, removing our sockliner to add yours is a piece of cake! However, for the ultimate experience, we suggest you keep them in.

Are your shoes vegan?

Yep! All our shoes are made without any animal products.

How do I clean my shoes?

If your shoes are starting to look a little less than fresh, we recommend starting with a firm brush or toothbrush to remove all loose dirt and debris. Then, apply water or cleaning solution to your brush and gently massage the stained area. Check out this detailed cleaning guide.
