FAQs

How do I clean the suede material on these shoes?

To clean the suede, first use a suede brush to remove loose dirt. For deeper stains, a specialized suede eraser or a suede-specific cleaning kit is recommended. Always allow the shoes to air dry completely after cleaning, and avoid submerging them in water.

Are these shoes waterproof?

No, the suede material is not inherently waterproof. While it can handle light splashes, prolonged exposure to water or heavy rain should be avoided. Applying a suede protector spray can help improve water resistance.

Can I use these for running or other sports?

These shoes are specifically designed for walking and offer superior comfort and support for that activity. While they are durable, they are not engineered for the high-impact stresses of running or other athletic sports. Using them for such activities may reduce their lifespan and compromise comfort.

What does 'Fresh Foam' technology do?

Fresh Foam is a New Balance midsole technology that provides superior cushioning. It's engineered using data-driven design to deliver a plush, comfortable feel with excellent shock absorption, making long walks more enjoyable and reducing foot fatigue.

How should I store these shoes when not in use?

Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or extreme temperatures. To help maintain their shape and absorb moisture, you can insert shoe trees or stuff them with crumpled newspaper.

Is the sizing accurate?

New Balance walking shoes generally run true to size. For this specific model, it is a UK size 9. We recommend trying them on to ensure the best fit, especially with the socks you typically wear for walking.

Troubleshooting

Suede looks dull or matted.

Use a specialized suede brush to gently rub the affected area, lifting the nap. Always brush in one consistent direction to restore its original texture and appearance.

Shoes feel less supportive than when new.

First, check the laces and ensure they are tied securely. If the issue persists, inspect the insoles for wear. Replacing worn-out insoles with new supportive ones can often revitalize the shoe's cushioning and support.

Suede has minor scuffs or dirt marks.

For light scuffs, use a suede eraser (available at shoe care stores) to gently rub away the mark. For dirt, allow the dirt to dry completely, then use a suede brush to carefully brush it off.

Pros

  • Superior comfort and cushioning for prolonged walking.
  • Stylish and premium suede material enhances aesthetic appeal.
  • Designed for excellent foot support and stability.
  • Durable construction suitable for regular use.
  • Versatile black color easily matches various attire.

Cons

  • Suede material requires specific care and cleaning.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

Getting started with your New Balance Fresh Foam Walking 880 v7 is straightforward. Simply untie the laces, slide your foot in, and adjust the laces for a snug, comfortable fit. Ensure your heel is securely seated at the back of the shoe and that there's about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe. This allows for natural foot movement and prevents discomfort.

Compatibility

These shoes are specifically designed for adult males who require a UK size 9. They are ideal for individuals looking for a comfortable, supportive, and stylish shoe for various walking activities, including daily wear, urban exploration, and extended strolls. Their versatile black suede design complements a wide range of casual and smart-casual attire.

Care

Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your suede walking shoes:

  1. Cleaning: Use a specialized suede brush to gently remove dirt and dust. Brush in one direction to maintain the nap of the suede. For tougher spots, a suede eraser can be used.
  2. Stain Removal: For wet stains, blot immediately with a clean cloth. For dried stains, use a suede brush and eraser. Avoid using water or harsh chemical cleaners directly on suede.
  3. Protection: Consider applying a suede protector spray before first wear and periodically thereafter. This helps repel water and prevent stains.
  4. Drying: If the shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and maintain their shape. Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight.
  5. Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to help maintain their shape and absorb moisture.
