FAQs
Are the New Balance 880R trainers water-resistant?
While the leather upper offers some natural protection against light splashes, it is not waterproof. Avoid heavy rain or puddles to maintain the material.
Are these shoes suitable for running?
No, the 880R series is categorized as lifestyle/casual trainers and does not contain the technical performance cushioning required for long-distance running.
How do I determine my size?
The 880R fits true to standard New Balance sizing. Use the brand's official size guide based on your UK size for the best fit.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can severely damage the leather material and the structural adhesive used in the construction.
Do these shoes come in other materials?
Yes, while this variant features leather, the 880R series is also available in various suede configurations depending on the specific model and colourway.
Troubleshooting
Laces coming undone frequently
Ensure you are using a double knot or consider replacing the laces with a slightly more textured lace material if the factory ones are too slick.
Creasing in the leather toe box
Use a shoe tree when not wearing the trainers to help maintain the shape and minimize deep creases.
Stiff feel upon first wear
Leather requires a break-in period. Wear them for short durations indoors to allow the material to soften and conform to your foot.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
When you first receive your 880R trainers, ensure the laces are adjusted to your preferred tension to accommodate your foot volume. For ongoing care, it is essential to wipe the leather surfaces with a clean, dry cloth to remove dust. If the shoes become stained, use a dedicated leather cleaner applied sparingly to a soft cloth rather than directly on the shoe. Avoid submerging the sneakers in water or using harsh detergents, as this can degrade the leather quality and lead to discoloration. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the material from drying out or fading.
