FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
The New Balance 880R generally fits true to size for most adults, though it is recommended to reference the UK size chart before purchasing.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
No. Submerging suede shoes in water can permanently damage the material and affect the structure of the trainer.
What is the primary material used in the upper?
The upper is constructed primarily from high-quality suede, providing a classic look and durable feel.
Is the 880R suitable for long-distance running?
While the 880R is inspired by running designs, it is optimized as a lifestyle trainer for all-day comfort rather than high-performance endurance running.
How do I clean the white midsole?
You can clean the rubber-based midsole using a damp cloth and a mild soap solution, wiping away any excess moisture afterward.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt on suede surfaces
Gently use a dry suede brush to lift dirt particles in a consistent direction.
Creasing near the toe box
This is normal for suede footwear; use a shoe tree when not wearing to help maintain the original shape.
Slight discomfort during break-in
Wear the shoes for short periods indoors to allow the suede and cushioning to adapt to your foot anatomy.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these trainers feature suede panels, it is essential to keep them dry and away from harsh environmental elements. To maintain the White and Grey appearance:
- Preventative Spray: Apply a protective water and stain repellent spray suitable for suede before wearing them outside.
- Routine Cleaning: Use a dedicated suede brush to remove loose dirt and dust after use.
- Spot Cleaning: If localized stains occur, use a specialized suede eraser or a very small amount of mild detergent with a soft cloth; avoid soaking the suede completely.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent colour fading.
