FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The 880R is designed primarily as a lifestyle trainer. While comfortable, it is not optimized for high-intensity running or athletic performance.
Is the material water-resistant?
The suede upper is not naturally water-resistant. We recommend using a quality suede-safe protective spray to help repel water and stains.
How do I determine my size?
These trainers follow standard adult sizing. If you are between sizes or prefer more room for thicker socks, some users find it beneficial to size up by half.
Can I wash these in the washing machine?
No. Machine washing can ruin the suede material and affect the adhesive bonding of the sole. Stick to manual surface cleaning.
What does the 880R stand for?
It is part of the New Balance 880 series, which carries the brand's heritage of high-comfort cushioning systems combined with classic styling.
Troubleshooting
Laces feel too tight or restrictive
Loosen the lacing pattern at the forefoot to allow for more volume, or consider a different lacing technique like 'window lacing' to relieve pressure on the top of the foot.
Visible dirt on the suede upper
Allow the mud or dirt to dry completely before brushing it off gently with a soft suede brush. Do not rub with water while the dirt is wet.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For the best fit, ensure the laces are loosened entirely before sliding your foot in; adjust the tension gradually from the bottom eyelets to the top to achieve a snug but non-restrictive feel. Because the exterior is crafted from suede, it is highly recommended to apply a protective water-repellent spray before initial use to help guard against stains. To clean, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt and a dedicated suede eraser for spot treatment. Avoid machine washing or submersing the shoes in water, as this can damage the suede texture.
