FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The BB80 series is designed as an everyday casual trainer and is not recommended for long-distance running or high-impact athletic training.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
No. Machine washing can damage the leather material and the structural adhesive; always clean by hand.
How do I know if the size is right?
There should be a thumb-width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe to ensure proper comfort during movement.
Does the leather material stretch over time?
Leather will naturally soften and mold to the shape of your foot after a short break-in period.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the insoles are removable and can be swapped for custom orthotics if necessary.
Troubleshooting
Leather looks dull or loses shine
Apply a high-quality leather conditioner to restore suppleness and natural shine.
Squeaking sound while walking
Ensure the laces are tensioned correctly and use a small amount of talcum powder under the removable insole if the noise persists.
Creasing on the upper leather
Use a shoe tree when not wearing the trainers to help the leather maintain its shape.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance BB80 trainers last as long as possible, it is essential to follow basic care guidelines.
- Cleaning: Wipe away dirt or dust with a soft, dry brush or cloth after use. For tougher stains, use a dedicated leather cleaner applied to a soft cloth, never soak the leather in water.
- Drying: Always air dry your trainers at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators, as these can crack the leather.
- Protection: Apply a leather-appropriate protective spray to repel moisture and stains before the first wear.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent colour fading.
