Troubleshooting

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 880R trainers remain in top condition, follow these guidelines:
- Sizing: These trainers follow standard UK adult sizing. It is recommended to try them on with the socks you intend to wear daily to ensure a proper fit.
- Cleaning: Since the upper is constructed from suede, avoid machine washing. Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt and a dedicated suede cleaner or eraser for localized stains.
- Storage: Keep the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the material from fading. Use shoe trees or crumpled paper to help the trainers maintain their shape when not in use.
