FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While inspired by 2000s running silhouettes, the 880R is designed primarily as a lifestyle trainer for daily wear, not for high-intensity athletic running.
How do I clean the White and Grey suede?
Use a dry, soft-bristled brush to remove dust. For stains, use a suede-specific cleaning kit and avoid soaking the material.
Is the 880R a unisex model?
Yes, the New Balance 880R is designed as a unisex trainer suitable for both men and women.
What is ABZORB technology?
ABZORB is a proprietary New Balance cushioning material that provides superior impact absorption and compression resistance.
Do these trainers run true to size?
Most users find the 880R fits true to standard athletic sizing; however, we recommend checking the size guide or trying them on with the type of socks you intend to wear.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the suede material and compromise the structural integrity of the cushioning foam.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt on suede upper
Use a specialized suede brush or a soft-bristled toothbrush to gently lift dirt particles in the direction of the nap.
Creasing in the midsole
Midsole creasing is normal for foam-based cushioning over time; using a shoe tree when not wearing them can help the shoe retain its shape.
Stubborn stains on the suede
Apply a dedicated suede eraser and follow with a suede-safe cleaner, ensuring you test on an inconspicuous spot first.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your New Balance 880R trainers, it is essential to follow proper care protocols. Given the suede upper, avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh detergents. Instead, use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove surface dirt after each wear. If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can cause the material to stiffen or shrink. For best results, use a water-repellent spray designed for suede to add a protective barrier against minor spills and dirt buildup. Always ensure you are using the correct size, as a proper fit is crucial for the internal cushioning to perform as intended.
