Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Setting up your New Balance Fresh Foam Walking 880 v7 is straightforward. Simply lace them up to your preferred comfort and security level. Ensure your socks are comfortable and appropriate for walking to maximize the shoe's cushioning and support.

They are not recommended for:

Care
Maintaining the `suede` material of your Fresh Foam Walking 880 v7 is key to preserving its appearance and longevity:
- Brush Regularly: Use a dedicated suede brush to gently remove loose dirt and dust. Brush in one direction to maintain the nap.
- Spot Clean Stains: For minor stains, use a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner applied sparingly with a clean cloth. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
- Protect from Water: Suede is sensitive to water. Consider applying a water and stain repellent spray specifically designed for suede before initial wear and periodically thereafter.
- Air Dry: If shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry naturally, away from direct heat sources.
- Avoid Machine Washing: Never put suede shoes in a washing machine or dryer, as this can severely damage the material.
