FAQs
What activities are these trainers best suited for?
These New Balance BB80 trainers are ideal for casual wear, daily errands, light walking, and various leisure activities. Their design prioritizes comfort and style for everyday use.
How do I clean the synthetic upper?
To clean the synthetic upper, simply wipe it down with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive brushes, and allow them to air dry completely.
Are these trainers good for running or intense sports?
While comfortable for light activity, the New Balance BB80 trainers are designed for casual wear rather than high-performance running or intense sports. For athletic training, we recommend dedicated sports footwear.
How can I ensure I get the right size?
We highly recommend trying on the trainers before final purchase. Be aware that the size label might show US/Euro sizes which differ from UK sizing. Pay attention to the fit with your usual socks, ensuring there's enough room for your toes without your heel slipping.
What materials are used in these trainers?
The upper is made from a durable synthetic material, and the outsole features anti-slip rubber for enhanced traction.
Can I machine wash my BB80 trainers?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials and construction of the trainers. Always clean them by hand as described in the care instructions.
Do these trainers offer arch support?
The New Balance BB80 trainers provide standard cushioning and support suitable for general casual wear. For specific arch support needs, you may consider using custom orthotic inserts.
Troubleshooting
The trainers feel uncomfortable or too tight/loose.
Ensure you have the correct size by trying them on carefully. Adjust the lacing system for a more personalized fit. Consider the thickness of the socks you are wearing.
My trainers are getting dirty quickly or have scuff marks.
Regularly clean the synthetic upper with a damp cloth and mild soap. For persistent scuffs, a specialized synthetic shoe cleaner might be effective. Avoid abrasive materials that could damage the surface.
The sole seems to lose grip, especially in wet conditions.
Inspect the anti-slip rubber outsole for any embedded debris, dirt, or wear. Clean the tread grooves thoroughly to restore maximum traction. While the sole provides good grip, exercise caution on extremely wet or slippery surfaces.
A squeaking sound comes from the shoe when walking.
This can sometimes be caused by moisture trapped inside or between the insole and the shoe's base. Try removing the insole and allowing both the insole and the shoe interior to air dry completely. If the sound persists, ensure the insole is properly seated or try a different insole.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Upon receiving your trainers, the most important 'setup' step is to try them on to confirm the correct fit. Pay close attention to how they feel with your typical socks, and verify that the UK size matches your expectation, as labels may show US/Euro sizes. Adjust the laces to achieve a snug yet comfortable fit.

These trainers are designed for casual and leisure activities. They pair well with jeans, shorts, casual trousers, and dresses, making them a versatile addition to your everyday wardrobe. They are not intended for high-impact sports or rigorous outdoor adventures.
Care
- Cleaning: For the synthetic upper, gently wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Drying: Air dry trainers at room temperature, away from direct heat sources or sunlight, which can damage materials. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. If storing for extended periods, consider using shoe trees to maintain their shape.
- Outsole: Periodically check the anti-slip outsole for embedded dirt or small stones and clean them out to maintain optimal traction.
