FAQs
Are these shoes machine washable?
No. Machine washing can ruin the suede material and compromise the structural integrity of the cushioning.
Does the 880R provide arch support?
Yes, the ABZORB midsole provides a stable platform with integrated arch support suitable for daily activity.
Are these suitable for running?
While inspired by running silhouettes, they are primarily lifestyle trainers. They are not recommended for long-distance athletic training.
How do I ensure the right fit?
New Balance typically follows standard UK sizing. We recommend checking the size guide or measuring your foot length to match your specific UK size.
Can I use water repellent spray on them?
Yes, using a high-quality suede-safe water repellent spray can help protect the shoes from light rain and dirt.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears stiff after wearing in wet conditions
Let the shoes air dry naturally away from heat sources. Once completely dry, use a suede brush to gently lift and restore the nap of the material.
Creasing near the toe box
This is a natural characteristic of high-quality suede and movement. You can minimize the look by inserting a shoe tree when not in use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your 880R trainers stay in optimal condition:
- Breaking In: These shoes generally fit true to size. Wear them indoors for a few hours to ensure the suede conforms comfortably to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt and dust. Avoid submerging them in water, as this can damage the material.
- Stain Treatment: For minor spots, use a suede eraser. For deeper stains, consult a professional leather or suede cleaning kit.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can cause the blue and grey dyes to fade over time.
