FAQs
Are the New Balance 878 trainers true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard adult sizing conventions, but it is always recommended to check your measurement against the specific size guide if you are between sizes.
Can I use these for running?
While durable, the 878 is designed for lifestyle use and walking rather than high-intensity long-distance running or technical training.
How do I clean the grey and silver upper?
Use a soft brush to remove dry debris, and spot clean with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Do not machine wash.
Is this a unisex model?
Yes, the New Balance 878 is designed as a unisex trainer suitable for a wide variety of foot shapes.
What is the best way to prevent odour?
Remove the insoles after use to let the shoe air out completely, and keep them in a well-ventilated area.
Troubleshooting
Laces constantly coming untied
Consider using a 'double knot' or a runner's loop to increase friction and keep the tension consistent.
Foot discomfort during long walks
Check that the shoe is correctly laced to provide enough arch support, or consider swapping the stock insole for a custom orthotic.
Material scuffing
Use a specialized suede or fabric cleaner depending on the exact material finish to gently buff out superficial marks.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your New Balance 878 trainers, follow these care guidelines:
- Cleaning: Wipe away surface dirt with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a mild soap solution and a soft-bristled brush.
- Drying: Always air dry at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can warp the materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from moisture to prevent the breakdown of internal adhesives or materials.
- Compatibility: The 878 features a standard lacing system, allowing for custom tension adjustments to accommodate various foot widths and arch heights.
