FAQs
Are the New Balance 880R trainers suitable for heavy running?
While they feature excellent cushioning, they are primarily designed as lifestyle trainers rather than high-performance technical running shoes.
How should I clean the suede?
Always use a dry brush for maintenance. If they get stained, use a dedicated suede cleaner kit according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Does the size fit true to standard measurements?
New Balance typically fits standard, but it is recommended to reference the UK sizing guide for your specific foot measurements.
Can I wear these in the rain?
Suede is prone to water damage. It is highly recommended to apply a protective suede spray to repel light moisture, but they should not be worn in heavy rain.
Is the insole removable?
Yes, the standard insole can typically be removed if you need to insert custom orthotics.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt on suede upper
Use a dry, soft-bristle brush to gently lift dirt; avoid using water on fresh mud.
Creasing near the toe box
Use shoe trees when not wearing to help maintain the original shape and minimize creasing.
Laces becoming undone frequently
Ensure they are tightened properly or replace them with high-friction flat laces if necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because the upper is constructed from suede, it is important to treat your trainers with a water and stain repellent spray before first use. To clean, use a soft-bristle brush to remove surface dust or dry mud. If a deeper clean is required, use a specialized suede cleaner and avoid submerging the shoes in water or putting them in a washing machine, as this can degrade the suede texture and the structural adhesives. Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent colour fading.
