New Balance 878 - Grey - Low Shoes - UK 9.5

The New Balance 878 'Grey' Low Shoes are primarily designed as lifestyle and casual wear sneakers. While they feature ABZORB® cushioning for comfort, they are not specialized for high-impact athletic activities like running.

The sizing is listed in UK adult foot sizes. It is recommended to measure your foot and compare it to New Balance's official sizing chart, or try them on in person if possible, as sizing can vary slightly between models and brands.

No, machine washing is not recommended for leather shoes. It can damage the leather, adhesives, and the ABZORB® midsole. Always clean them by hand using a damp cloth and appropriate leather care products.

ABZORB® is a proprietary New Balance technology that provides excellent shock absorption and cushioning, helping to reduce impact on your feet and joints during wear.

'Low Shoes' refers to the cut of the sneaker, meaning it sits below the ankle, as opposed to high-top shoes that cover the ankle.

Regular cleaning with a damp cloth is key. For deeper cleaning, use a leather cleaner suitable for grey tones. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can cause fading. A leather protector can also help maintain color and prevent stains.

Wear them with thin socks initially. Leather can stretch slightly over time with wear. If still too tight, consider a larger size or using shoe stretchers.

This can sometimes occur with new shoes. Try walking on different surfaces. If the noise persists, check if the insole is loose or try applying a small amount of talcum powder under the insole.

Apply a leather conditioner or cream specifically designed for grey leather. For scuffs, gently buff with a soft cloth and a suitable colored shoe polish if necessary.
