FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

No, the New Balance Fresh Foam Walking 880 v7 is specifically designed for walking and casual wear, emphasizing comfort and support for walking gaits. For running, we recommend a dedicated running shoe.

How do I clean the suede material?

Gently brush off dry dirt with a suede brush. For stains, use a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner with a damp cloth, always following the cleaner's instructions. Air dry away from direct heat.

Are these shoes waterproof?

The suede upper is not inherently waterproof. We recommend applying a high-quality suede protector spray to help repel water and stains, but they are not designed for heavy rain or wet conditions.

What is 'Fresh Foam' cushioning?

Fresh Foam is a New Balance proprietary foam compound engineered to deliver an ultra-cushioned and lightweight ride. It provides a soft landing and responsive toe-off, ideal for sustained comfort during walking.

Can I wear these with custom orthotics?

Yes, the standard insoles are typically removable, allowing you to replace them with your custom orthotics for personalized support.

Is the sizing consistent with other New Balance shoes?

Generally, New Balance sizing is consistent. However, fit can vary slightly between models. We recommend trying them on or consulting a size guide to ensure the best fit for the Fresh Foam Walking 880 v7.

Troubleshooting

Suede looks dull or discolored

Use a suede brush to restore the nap and remove surface dirt. For deeper discoloration, a professional suede cleaner may be needed.

Shoes feel too tight or loose

Ensure you have the correct size. Try adjusting the lacing technique for a more customized fit. Consider trying different sock thicknesses.

Shoes make a squeaking sound

Check if the insole is properly seated. Sometimes, a little baby powder under the insole can reduce friction-related squeaking. If the squeak is from the outsole, it may be due to walking on certain smooth surfaces.

Foot discomfort during long walks

While highly cushioned, individual foot shapes vary. Consider adding over-the-counter orthotic inserts for additional arch support or specific cushioning needs.

Suede getting wet and stiff

Always apply a waterproof suede protector. If wet, blot excess water, stuff with paper, and air dry. Once dry, gently brush to restore the nap and flexibility.

Care Instructions

Due to the suede material, proper care is essential to maintain the shoes' appearance and longevity:

  1. Initial Protection: Apply a high-quality suede protector spray before first wear to help repel water and stains.
  2. Regular Cleaning: Gently brush off dry dirt and dust using a soft suede brush. For tougher spots, use a suede eraser.
  3. Spot Cleaning: For liquid stains, blot immediately with a clean, dry cloth. For dried stains, use a damp cloth with a specialized suede cleaner, following product instructions carefully.
  4. Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight. Stuff with paper towels to help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
  5. Avoid: Do not machine wash or tumble dry. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive materials.
