FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While inspired by running designs, the 880R is intended for lifestyle and everyday wear rather than intense athletic running.
How do I clean the suede?
Use a specialized suede brush for dry dirt and a suede-safe eraser for marks. Avoid soaking the shoes in water.
Are these unisex?
Yes, the New Balance 880R is designed as a unisex trainer suitable for all adults.
Does the shoe provide arch support?
Yes, the ABZORB midsole technology offers a stable platform that provides balanced support throughout the day.
What is the best way to store these sneakers?
Store them in a cool, dry area away from direct sunlight to prevent the suede colour from fading over time.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks dull or matted
Use a suede brush or a clean, dry toothbrush to gently brush the nap in one direction to restore its texture.
Water spots on the material
Allow the shoe to dry naturally away from direct heat sources, then use a dry soft-bristled brush to gently buff the surface.
Slight discomfort during break-in
Wear the trainers for shorter periods indoors for the first few days to allow the suede and internal cushioning to adapt to your foot shape.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 880R trainers last, follow these guidelines. Setup is straightforward; ensure you verify your UK sizing before the first wear, as the suede may feel snug initially before conforming to your foot. For maintenance, avoid machine washing. Instead, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt from the suede surface. If stains occur, use a specialized suede eraser or a light cleaning solution designed specifically for suede fabrics. Keep the shoes away from heavy rain or excessive mud to maintain the texture and colour of the grey suede, and store them in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight.
