FAQs

What activities are these trainers best suited for?

The New Balance 880 Trainers are ideal for general fitness training, long-distance walking, gym workouts, and comfortable everyday casual wear. Their versatile design provides support across various low-to-medium impact activities.

How do I clean the suede material on these trainers?

To clean the suede, use a specialized suede brush for dry dirt. For deeper stains, apply a suede-specific cleaner following its instructions. Avoid machine washing and excessive water, as this can damage the suede.

Do these trainers provide good arch support?

The Fresh Foam X midsole offers excellent cushioning and the Walking Strike Path technology guides your foot, both contributing to a supportive and comfortable experience that aids natural arch mechanics.

Are these trainers suitable for running?

While they offer great cushioning and support for moderate running, especially on treadmills or for shorter distances, dedicated long-distance or competitive runners might prefer more specialized running-specific models for optimal performance.

What is the N-Durance technology?

N-Durance is a highly durable rubber compound used in the outsole. It's designed to provide superior resistance to wear and tear, especially in high-impact areas, enhancing the shoe's longevity and protecting your joints.

Is the sizing standard for New Balance 880 Trainers?

Yes, these trainers generally adhere to standard New Balance sizing. We recommend ordering your usual UK shoe size, which in this case is UK 6.5, for a comfortable and accurate fit.

Can I wear these trainers in all weather conditions?

The suede and mesh upper is breathable but not waterproof. These trainers are best suited for dry conditions or very light dampness. Avoid heavy rain or wet environments to protect the material and ensure durability.

Troubleshooting

Trainers feel stiff or uncomfortable initially.

Like many quality shoes, the New Balance 880 may require a brief break-in period. Wear them for shorter durations initially, gradually increasing wear time to allow the materials and cushioning to conform to your foot's shape.

Suede material looks dirty or scuffed.

For light dirt, use a suede brush to gently clean the surface. For deeper marks or stains, apply a specialized suede cleaner following the product's instructions. Avoid water saturation to prevent staining.

Reduced grip on wet or slippery surfaces.

While N-GRIP technology enhances traction, no shoe is entirely slip-proof. Always exercise caution on wet, icy, or otherwise slippery surfaces. Ensure the outsole tread is clean of debris that might hinder grip.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional cushioning for superior comfort and joint protection during various activities.

  • Versatile design makes them suitable for training, long walks, and everyday use.

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Your New Balance 880 Trainers are designed for immediate use. Simply unbox, lace them up to your preferred fit, and you're ready to go. No complex setup or preparation is required.

Compatibility: These trainers are designed for adult males. They are suitable for individuals seeking a versatile shoe for general training, long walks, and everyday casual wear. The UK size 6.5 offers a standard fit for this shoe series. While highly cushioned, individual foot anatomy and specific athletic needs may vary.

Care: The upper combines high-quality suede and mesh, requiring specific care to maintain their appearance and longevity.

  • Suede Cleaning: For dry dirt and dust, use a specialized suede brush to gently brush the nap in one direction. For tougher stains, use a suede cleaner specifically designed for the material, following the product's instructions carefully. Avoid harsh scrubbing.
  • Mesh Cleaning: For the mesh sections, gently wipe with a soft cloth dampened with mild soap and cool water. Blot dry with a clean towel.
  • Drying: Always air dry your trainers at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or artificial heat sources, as these can damage the materials.
  • Avoid Machine Washing: Do not machine wash or tumble dry your trainers, as this can severely damage the materials, cushioning, and adhesives.
