FAQs

What makes the ABZORB® midsole special?

The ABZORB® midsole is a specialized cushioning technology designed by New Balance to provide excellent shock absorption and stability, reducing the impact on your feet during movement.

Are these trainers suitable for running?

While the ABZORB® midsole offers good cushioning, the New Balance 878 'Grey' trainers are primarily designed for casual wear and walking, not high-impact running.

How do I know if I have the correct size?

Ensure there is 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 width should allow for comfortable foot movement without pinching.

What is the primary color of the trainers?

The primary color of these trainers is grey, with potential secondary accents like silver, depending on the specific model variation.

Can these trainers be worn in wet weather?

These trainers are not waterproof. While they can handle light splashes, prolonged exposure to heavy rain is not recommended and may affect the materials.

Where can I find other sizes or colors?

The product information lists several variant siblings with different sizes and some color variations. Please refer to the retailer's listings for available options.

What does 'classic sneaker with a modern twist' mean for this product?

It means the shoe retains the core design elements and silhouette of the original 878 series (classic) but incorporates updated materials, construction techniques, and design details like the stitch line to appeal to contemporary fashion standards (modern twist).

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Consider wearing thinner socks or if the issue persists and is due to width, check for wider fit options if available. If the length is incorrect, exchange for a different size.

Discoloration or scuff marks

Gently clean with a damp cloth and mild detergent. For stubborn marks, use a specialized sneaker cleaner suitable for grey materials. Ensure thorough drying away from heat.

Reduced cushioning effect over time

The ABZORB® midsole is designed for durability, but cushioning can naturally decrease with extensive use. Regular cleaning and avoiding excessive wear can help maintain performance longer.
