FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While based on running designs, they are primarily engineered as lifestyle trainers for comfort rather than high-performance technical running.
How do I clean the white sections?
Use a mild soap and water solution on a soft cloth for the non-suede parts, but keep water away from the suede to avoid discoloration.
Is the 880R a unisex model?
Yes, the 880R is designed to fit a wide range of adult feet regardless of gender identification.
What should I do if the shoes get wet?
Stuff the interior with paper towels to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources like radiators.
Do these fit true to size?
They generally fit true to standard adult sizing, though users with wider feet may prefer to verify measurements against the specific UK size guide.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt on suede upper
Use a dry, soft brush to gently buff the suede in one direction; do not use water as it can stain the material.
Midsole feels stiff after long storage
The foam may need a 'break-in' period; wearing them for short walks will help the ABZORB cushioning regain its elasticity.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your 880R trainers maintain their look and feel, consider the following:
- Fit: The 880R is designed for a standard adult fit. Always verify your UK sizing before purchase to ensure proper arch placement.
- Cleaning: Due to the suede components, avoid machine washing. Use a soft-bristled brush to remove surface dirt and a specialized suede eraser for marks.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the suede from fading or the midsole foam from degrading prematurely.
- Protection: Apply a water and stain repellent spray specifically designed for suede before the first use to shield the material from the elements.
