FAQs

Can I use the New Balance Fresh Foam Walking 880 v7 for running?

No, these shoes are specifically designed and engineered for walking and everyday wear, providing optimal comfort and support for those activities. For running, New Balance offers other models better suited for the higher impact.

How do I properly clean the suede material?

To clean the suede, use a soft suede brush to remove loose dirt and restore the nap. For stains, a specialized suede eraser or cleaner should be used, following the product's instructions. Avoid using water or harsh detergents, which can damage the suede.

Are these shoes waterproof?

The suede material is not inherently waterproof. While durable, it can absorb water and stain. For improved water resistance, you can apply a quality water and stain repellent spray specifically designed for suede, as part of your care routine.

What does 'Fresh Foam' technology do?

Fresh Foam is New Balance's proprietary midsole cushioning technology. It's engineered to deliver an ultra-cushioned and lightweight ride, providing a soft and comfortable experience by absorbing impact effectively during walking.

Are the insoles removable?

Yes, the insoles in the New Balance Fresh Foam Walking 880 v7 are typically removable. This allows you to replace them with custom orthotics or new insoles for personalized comfort and support.

How long do these shoes typically last?

The lifespan of the Fresh Foam Walking 880 v7 depends on usage, walking frequency, and care. With proper maintenance and regular use, you can expect a good period of comfort and support. Listen to your body and replace them when you notice significant wear, reduced cushioning, or discomfort.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dull or dirty after wear.

Use a soft suede brush to gently restore the nap and remove surface dirt. For tougher spots, a suede eraser or specialized suede cleaner can be effective. Always brush in the direction of the nap.

Shoes feel less supportive or cushioned over time.

The Fresh Foam cushioning is designed for durability, but prolonged heavy use can lead to compression. Consider replacing the original insoles with new ones, either New Balance branded or aftermarket, to refresh the cushioning. Ensure the shoe's overall structure is still intact.

Feet feel uncomfortably warm or sweaty.

While suede offers warmth, wearing moisture-wicking socks can greatly improve comfort by drawing sweat away from your feet. Ensure your shoes are not laced too tightly, allowing for some air circulation. Allow shoes to air out completely between wears.

Squeaking sound when walking.

Squeaking often comes from insoles rubbing against the shoe's interior. Try removing the insoles, cleaning the inside of the shoe, and then reinserting them. A light sprinkle of baby powder under the insole can also help reduce friction and eliminate squeaks.

Shoe feels too tight or uncomfortable in specific areas.

First, ensure you have the correct size. If it's a new shoe, allow for a brief break-in period, as suede can mold slightly to your foot over time. Check your lacing; sometimes adjusting the lacing pattern can relieve pressure points. If discomfort persists, consider visiting a shoe specialist for advice on fit.

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.

Compatibility

These shoes are designed for:

  • Adult Men: Specifically sized and structured for adult male feet.
  • Walking: Ideal for daily walks, leisurely strolls, and urban exploration.
  • Everyday Wear: Perfect for casual outings, errands, and situations requiring comfortable, supportive footwear.

They are not recommended for:

  • Rugged trail hiking in extreme conditions.

Care

Maintaining the `suede` material of your Fresh Foam Walking 880 v7 is key to preserving its appearance and longevity:

  1. Brush Regularly: Use a dedicated suede brush to gently remove loose dirt and dust. Brush in one direction to maintain the nap.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. Avoid Machine Washing: Never put suede shoes in a washing machine or dryer, as this can severely damage the material.
