FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for trail running?

The New Balance 880 Series Trainers are primarily designed for road running and general training. They may not offer the specialized grip and protection required for technical trail running.

What is the main difference between the 880 series and other New Balance models?

The 880 series typically represents a balance of cushioning, support, and durability, making it a reliable workhorse for everyday running and training. Other models might focus more on speed, maximal cushioning, or specific stability features.

How do I know if I have the right size?

Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe. The heel should feel secure without slipping, and the midfoot should feel snug but not constricting.

Can these shoes be worn for everyday casual use?

Yes, the comfortable cushioning and classic design make them suitable for everyday casual wear, especially for those who are on their feet a lot.

What is the expected lifespan of these trainers?

The lifespan depends on usage frequency, intensity, and surface. For regular running (3-4 times a week), they typically last between 300-500 miles (approx. 500-800 km).

Are these trainers waterproof?

No, these trainers are not waterproof. They are designed with breathable materials and are not intended for use in wet conditions where waterproofing is essential.

Troubleshooting

Unusual squeaking noise

This can sometimes occur with new shoes. Try wearing them for a few more sessions. If it persists, check for debris trapped in the sole or laces. Occasionally, a small amount of talcum powder under the insole can help.

Discomfort during long runs

Ensure you have the correct size and fit. Consider using different socks. If the discomfort is localized, check for any potential pressure points. Breaking in the shoes for shorter periods first might also help.

Reduced grip on wet surfaces

While designed for general use, the grip may be reduced on very wet or slick surfaces. Use caution in such conditions. Ensure the outsole is free from debris that could affect traction.
