FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for long-distance running?
While inspired by retro running designs, these are lifestyle trainers designed for casual, all-day wear rather than performance long-distance running.
How do I maintain the white and grey suede?
Keep the shoes away from liquids and dirt. Use a suede-safe cleaning kit and a soft brush for regular maintenance.
Is the sizing consistent with other New Balance models?
New Balance sizing is generally consistent, but we recommend checking the size guide to ensure the correct conversion for your specific region.
Can these shoes be machine washed?
No, machine washing can damage the structure and the suede materials. Always opt for hand cleaning with appropriate products.
Are these shoes unisex?
Yes, the 880R model is designed as a unisex trainer suitable for all genders.
What is the primary material of the upper?
The upper is constructed using high-quality suede for a premium look and feel.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt or dust on the suede surface
Use a specialized suede brush or a soft-bristled toothbrush to gently buff away dry surface debris.
Laces becoming loose during wear
Replace the standard knot with a double knot or ensure the eyelets are pulled taut for a more secure lockdown.
Light marks on the upper
Use a suede eraser to gently rub the affected area, then brush the fibers back in the same direction.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For the best fit, ensure the laces are loosened entirely when first putting the shoes on to avoid putting stress on the eyelets. Once the foot is placed, tighten the laces to a snug but comfortable tension that prevents heel slippage. Since these trainers feature suede elements, avoid wearing them in heavy rain or muddy conditions to prevent permanent staining. For routine maintenance, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt from the suede surface. If a deeper clean is required, utilize a specialized suede cleaner and allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources, which can cause the material to stiffen or shrink.
