FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

The Fresh Foam 880 v7 is designed for comfort during training, long walks, and everyday wear. While they can handle light runs, they are optimized for walking and general training rather than high-performance running.

How do I clean the suede material?

Use a suede brush to remove loose dirt. For stains, a suede eraser or a cloth dampened with a small amount of white vinegar can be used gently. Always allow to air dry and avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing.

What is 'Walking Strike Path' technology?

Walking Strike Path is a sole technology that assists in guiding your foot through its natural walking gait cycle, promoting more efficient movement and stability.

Can I use these for intense gym workouts?

They are suitable for general gym training and low-impact exercises. However, for specialized or high-intensity workouts requiring specific lateral support or heavy lifting stability, dedicated cross-training shoes might be more appropriate.

Are these trainers waterproof?

The New Balance Fresh Foam 880 v7 Trainers are not explicitly waterproof. The suede and mesh upper offers some resistance to light moisture, but for wet conditions, we recommend using a protective spray or choosing waterproof footwear.

What does Fresh Foam X do?

Fresh Foam X is an innovative cushioning foam in the midsole that provides an ultra-cushioned, lightweight, and highly responsive ride. It's designed to resist deformation, offering consistent comfort and support.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel less cushioned over time.

The Fresh Foam X midsole is designed for durability, but consistent heavy use can compact any cushioning material. Ensure proper rotation with other footwear if possible. Consider replacement after recommended mileage for optimal performance.

Suede looks dull or dirty.

Use a specialized suede brush to lift dirt and restore the nap. For tougher spots, a suede eraser or a small amount of white vinegar on a clean cloth can be applied gently. Always follow with brushing.

Poor grip on wet surfaces.

While N-GRIP and N-Durance enhance traction, no sole is immune to extremely slick conditions. Ensure the outsoles are clean of debris, and exercise caution on wet or icy surfaces. Regular cleaning helps maintain the sole's effectiveness.

Care Instructions

To prolong the life and appearance of your suede and mesh trainers, follow these guidelines:

  1. Initial Protection: Consider applying a suede and fabric protector spray before first wear to help repel water and stains.
  2. Regular Cleaning: For mesh sections, use a soft brush or damp cloth with mild soap and water to gently scrub away dirt. For suede, use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt and restore the nap.
  3. Spot Treatment: For stubborn stains on suede, use a suede eraser or a small amount of white vinegar on a clean cloth, rubbing gently.
  4. Drying: Always air dry your shoes at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight, which can damage materials.
  5. Avoid Machine Washing: Do not machine wash or tumble dry, as this can severely damage the shoe's structure and materials.
  6. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
