FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

While inspired by running silhouettes, they are designed primarily as lifestyle trainers for casual use rather than performance athletic training.

Can I put these in the washing machine?

No, machine washing can permanently damage the pig suede and compromise the shoe's structure. Always use hand-cleaning methods.

What is ABZORB technology?

ABZORB is a proprietary foam blend that provides exceptional cushioning and compression resistance to help absorb the shock of each step.

Are these unisex?

Yes, the New Balance 880R series is designed as a unisex model, fitting a wide range of adult foot shapes.

How do I protect the suede from rain?

We recommend applying a high-quality water and stain repellent spray specifically designed for suede before the first wear.

Troubleshooting

Suede looks dull or matted

Use a soft suede brush to gently restore the nap of the material in a back-and-forth motion.

Shoes feeling too tight

Loosen the laces from the bottom eyelets upward to provide more volume in the forefoot area.

Minor scuff marks

Gently rub the affected area with a suede-specific cleaning eraser.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent all-day comfort due to ABZORB technology
  • Stylish vintage 2000s design suitable for casual wear
  • Breathable material blend prevents overheating
  • Secure ankle support

Cons

  • Suede requires specialized care compared to synthetic materials
  • Not intended for heavy-duty off-road running
  • Limited to specific retro-inspired colourways

Setup, Compatibility & Care

For the best fit, ensure you select your standard UK size, as the 880R follows standard New Balance sizing. To care for your trainers, avoid machine washing or drying, as this can damage the suede components. Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dust and dirt from the suede regularly. If the shoes get wet, stuff them with paper to absorb excess moisture and let them air dry away from direct heat sources like radiators. For stubborn marks on the suede, use a specialized suede eraser or a gentle cleaning solution specifically formulated for delicate fabrics.
