FAQs
What is the primary intended use for the New Balance 878 'Grey'?
The New Balance 878 'Grey' is primarily designed for everyday wear and light athletic activities such as walking and jogging.
How do I determine the correct size?
It is recommended to measure your foot length and compare it with the New Balance sizing chart, paying close attention to the UK sizing. Consider the intended use and sock thickness when deciding.
Can these shoes be machine washed?
No, machine washing is not recommended. Cleaning with a damp cloth and mild soap is the preferred method to preserve the shoe's material and structure.
What does the 'Presidential Running Shoes' series signify?
This series signifies New Balance's commitment to high-quality craftsmanship and performance, with designs often inspired by historical running achievements and technology.
Are these shoes suitable for professional marathon running?
While inspired by running heritage, the 878 model is generally best suited for casual wear and light training rather than professional, high-intensity marathon running which may require specialized footwear.
What is the material of the upper?
The upper typically consists of a combination of synthetic materials and mesh, offering breathability and durability. Specific material composition may vary slightly.
How should I store these shoes when not in use?
Store them in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture, preferably in a shoe box or bag to protect them from dust and maintain their shape.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure you have selected the correct size. If the fit is still snug, try wearing thinner socks or breaking them in with short periods of wear.
Soles show signs of wear quickly
Check for any debris caught in the sole tread. Ensure the shoes are being used for their intended purpose (light activity) and not for strenuous or abrasive activities.
Discoloration on the upper
Refer to the care instructions for cleaning. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can cause fading.
