FAQs

Are New Balance 878 trainers unisex?

Yes, many variations of the 878 model are designed for unisex wear.

How do I choose the right size?

Measure your foot from heel to toe. If you fall between sizes, choose the larger size for better comfort.

Can I use these for running?

The 878 is primarily a lifestyle trainer intended for daily wear rather than high-intensity running or specialized sports.

What materials are used for the 878?

The 878 series utilizes various materials including leather and suede depending on the specific model variation.

How do I clean suede 878 trainers?

Use a soft brush specifically designed for suede to gently remove dirt and debris. Avoid getting the suede excessively wet.

Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?

The 878 offers a standard fit, but the design provides enough structure that many users find it comfortable for daily activities.

Troubleshooting

The fit feels too tight around the toes.

If the shoe feels restrictive, ensure you are wearing appropriate socks and consider if a half-size larger would provide the necessary room, as per the measurement guidelines.

Scuff marks on the leather surface.

Use a gentle leather cleaner and a soft cloth to buff out superficial scuffs, followed by a matching polish if necessary.

Difficulty determining the correct size.

Measure both feet, as they may differ in size. Always fit the shoe to the larger of the two feet.

Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To achieve the best fit, measure your foot from the heel to the tip of your longest toe. If your measurement falls between two sizes, it is recommended to select the larger size for optimal comfort and room for movement.

Care instructions vary based on the upper material:

  • Leather Models: Wipe clean with a soft, damp cloth and use a leather conditioner to maintain the material's integrity.
  • Suede Models: Use a specialized suede brush to remove dirt and maintain the nap of the material. Avoid soaking in water.
  • General Care: Allow shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources to prevent material damage or warping.
