FAQs
What makes the ABZORB® midsole beneficial?
The ABZORB® midsole technology in the New Balance 878 provides superior shock absorption, compressing and returning energy to help reduce the impact on your feet and legs during wear.
Are these trainers suitable for running?
The New Balance 878 trainers are primarily designed for casual wear and everyday comfort. While they offer good cushioning, they are not specialized running shoes and may lack the specific support and features required for intense athletic training.
How do I determine the correct size?
Refer to the New Balance size chart for accurate measurements. It is recommended to measure your foot length and compare it with the provided UK sizing guide. If you are between sizes, consider trying the larger size for more comfort.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
These trainers are not waterproof. While they can withstand light moisture, prolonged exposure to rain or wet conditions is not recommended as it can affect the materials and comfort.
What is the inspiration behind the 878 series?
The 878 series is inspired by classic New Balance heritage designs, blending timeless aesthetics with modern comfort technology for a look that is both retro and contemporary.
How often should I clean my trainers?
Clean your trainers as needed, especially if they become visibly dirty. Regular spot cleaning with mild soap and water is recommended to maintain their appearance without causing damage.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure you have the correct size. If slightly tight, wear them with thicker socks for a short period to help them stretch naturally. Consider trying a half-size up if persistent discomfort occurs.
Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces
The rubber outsole is designed for general traction. For exceptionally smooth or wet surfaces, exercise caution. You can explore adding aftermarket grip enhancers if this is a frequent concern.
Laces wear out quickly
Replace laces with a durable alternative. Ensure laces are not tied too tightly, which can cause premature wear.
