Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 878 trainers last, proper care is essential. When first putting them on, ensure the laces are adjusted to your foot width to prevent unnecessary strain on the eyelets. Because the materials include leather and faux leather, avoid submerging them in water or using harsh detergents. Instead, spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain the integrity of the materials and prevent color fading. Check your size carefully, as fits can vary slightly across different production runs.
