FAQs
Are these shoes machine washable?
No. Due to the suede material, machine washing can damage the texture and color. Use professional suede cleaning kits instead.
Is the 880R a good shoe for running?
While it features performance-inspired technology, it is primarily designed as a lifestyle trainer for daily comfort rather than long-distance technical running.
Do these shoes come in different widths?
The New Balance 880R generally follows standard unisex width sizing. Please check your specific size selection for the best fit.
Can I use these in the rain?
We recommend avoiding rain, as moisture can spot and damage the suede material.
What does ABZORB technology do?
ABZORB is a proprietary foam material that provides superior cushioning and energy absorption to help minimize impact on your joints.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt on the suede upper
Use a soft-bristled suede brush to gently rub away surface dust and dirt. Avoid liquid cleaners unless they are specifically formulated for suede.
Shoes feel tight after a long day
Feet often swell during the day. Ensure laces are not tied too tightly in the morning and consider wearing moisture-wicking socks to reduce friction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these trainers feature a suede exterior, they are not designed for wet weather conditions. To maintain the appearance of your 880R trainers, we recommend the following:
- Protective Spray: Apply a suede-specific water and stain repellent spray before first use to create a barrier against the elements.
- Cleaning: Use a specialized suede brush to gently lift dirt and restore the nap of the material. Do not submerge the shoes in water.
- Storage: Keep your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can fade the black and grey tones over time.
- Fit: The unisex sizing is designed for a standard adult fit. Ensure your size corresponds with UK sizing conventions for the best comfort.
