FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

While inspired by 2000s running silhouettes, the 880R is designed for casual, everyday wear rather than professional or long-distance athletic running.

How do I clean the suede upper?

Use a dry, soft-bristled brush to remove dust. For stains, use a suede-specific cleaning kit and avoid submerging the shoes in water.

Is this a unisex model?

Yes, the New Balance 880R is designed as a unisex trainer suitable for all adults.

What is ABZORB technology?

ABZORB is a proprietary New Balance cushioning material that provides superior shock absorption to help reduce impact on the joints.

Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?

No, machine washing can damage the suede material and affect the adhesive components of the sole. Stick to manual surface cleaning.

Troubleshooting

Surface stains on the suede

Use a specialized suede eraser or a soft-bristled brush to gently lift dirt without damaging the texture.

Laces coming undone

Ensure a double-knot is used if the laces feel slippery, or replace with standard flat laces of an equivalent length.

Discomfort after long periods

Check that the laces are not tied too tightly across the bridge of the foot, which can restrict natural movement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the best experience with your New Balance 880R trainers, verify your size using the UK sizing standard. Since these are constructed with suede, avoid wearing them in heavy rain or muddy conditions to prevent permanent staining. If the shoes become dirty, use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove surface dust. For deeper cleaning, utilize products specifically designed for suede care rather than soaking the material in water. To maintain the structural integrity and shape of the trainers, store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
