FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
The New Balance 878 trainers are designed primarily for casual wear and comfort, featuring ABZORB® for shock absorption. While they can handle light jogging, they are not specialized running shoes and may lack the specific support and cushioning required for intense training.
How do I determine the correct size for unisex trainers?
Unisex sizing often corresponds to men's sizing. It's recommended to consult the official New Balance sizing chart, which typically provides conversions or specific guidance for unisex models to ensure an accurate fit.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. Machine washing can damage the materials, adhesives, and the ABZORB® midsole. Spot clean with a damp cloth as per the care instructions.
What makes the ABZORB® midsole special?
ABZORB® is a specialized cushioning technology developed by New Balance that provides a unique combination of cushioning and compression resistance. It helps to absorb impact effectively, offering comfort and support during wear.
How should I store my trainers when not in use?
Store your trainers in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. It's advisable to keep them in a shoe box or on a shelf to maintain their shape and prevent dust accumulation.
Is the grey color always consistent across all pairs?
While the product description specifies a 'Grey' colorway, slight variations can occur due to manufacturing processes or material sourcing. However, the overall aesthetic aims for a consistent grey appearance.
Troubleshooting
Fit feels too snug or loose.
As these are unisex trainers, consider the specific fit requirements. If too snug, ensure laces are loosened. If too loose, try adjusting the lacing or consider an insole. Refer to New Balance sizing guides for unisex footwear.
Discoloration after cleaning.
Ensure you are using a damp cloth and avoiding colored cleaning agents. For stubborn marks, a very mild soap solution can be used sparingly, followed by a thorough wipe with a clean, damp cloth. Always air dry away from direct sunlight.
Reduced cushioning over time.
While ABZORB® is durable, cushioning can naturally decrease with extensive use. Consider replacing insoles for a refresh, or evaluate if the shoes have reached the end of their optimal lifespan for comfort.
