FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While inspired by 2000s running designs, the 880R is primarily intended for casual use and daily walking comfort rather than high-performance sports or long-distance running.
How do I maintain the suede upper?
Keep them dry, use a suede-specific brush to remove surface debris, and apply a professional-grade water and stain repellent spray.
Are the insoles removable?
Yes, the insoles are typically removable if you require custom orthotics or specific arch support.
Do these trainers run true to size?
Generally, New Balance trainers fit true to size, but we recommend checking your measurements against the UK size guide provided for your specific fit.
What is the primary difference between the 880 and 880R?
The 880R variant focuses on the classic 2000s aesthetic and lifestyle comfort, whereas standard 880 models may have more technical configurations for performance running.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt or dust on suede
Use a dry, soft-bristled brush to gently buff the surface in the direction of the nap.
Water spots on the material
Dab the affected area lightly with a clean, damp cloth and let it air dry naturally away from heat sources.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your 880R trainers stay in optimal condition, follow these guidelines:
- Initial Protection: Treat the suede material with a water-repellent spray designed for suede before the first use.
- Cleaning: Do not put suede shoes in the washing machine. Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt or a specialized suede eraser for light stains.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the material colors from fading.
- Compatibility: These trainers pair well with casual attire like jeans, chinos, or athletic wear, making them a highly versatile staple in your footwear rotation.
