FAQs

Are the New Balance 880R shoes waterproof?

No, the suede upper is not waterproof. It is recommended to use a protective spray to guard against light splashes, but avoid heavy rain.

Can I put these in the washing machine?

No, washing machines can severely damage the suede and the structural adhesive of the shoe. Always clean by hand.

Is this model suitable for wide feet?

The 880R generally provides a standard fit. If you have specific width requirements, try them on in the afternoon when your feet are at their largest.

What is the main difference between the 880R and the 880?

The 880R series emphasizes the 2000s running aesthetic while maintaining the core comfort technologies like ABZORB found in the standard 880 line.

Are these shoes unisex?

Yes, the New Balance 880R is designed to fit a wide range of adult foot shapes, regardless of gender.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dull or dirty

Use a dry suede brush or a soft eraser specifically for suede to gently buff away surface marks.

Foot discomfort during first few uses

Ensure the laces are adjusted to your preferred tension and allow for a short 'break-in' period for the cushioning to adapt to your stride.

Material feels stiff

Suede will naturally soften with regular wear. Avoid using heat sources like hair dryers to speed up this process as it may warp the material.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent all-day comfort due to ABZORB technology
  • Stylish retro design fits modern fashion trends
  • Durable suede exterior construction
  • Consistent compression resistance for long-term support

Cons

  • Suede requires more specialized cleaning than mesh or synthetic
  • Not intended for heavy-duty professional marathon running
  • Limited water resistance due to suede upper

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your 880R trainers maintain their appearance and functionality, consider the following:

  1. Fit: These trainers are standard fit; ensure you verify your UK sizing before purchase to prevent rubbing.
  2. Cleaning: Use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt and dust. Avoid submerging the shoes in water, as this can damage the suede texture and colour.
  3. Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the suede from fading or drying out.
  4. Protection: Consider applying a suede-safe water repellent spray to guard against light moisture and stains.
