FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, the suede material of the New Balance 880 is not inherently waterproof. While it can withstand light moisture, it is not designed for heavy rain or wet conditions. Consider applying a suede protector spray for added resistance.
Can I use these for running?
While comfortable, the New Balance 880 is specifically engineered as a walking shoe with extra support for walking mechanics. For running, New Balance offers dedicated running shoe series that provide different cushioning and support tailored for higher impact activities.
How do I determine my correct size?
This variant is UK size 11. It's best to measure your foot length and width, and compare it against a New Balance sizing chart. Keep in mind shoe sizes can vary slightly between brands and models.
What's the best way to clean the grey suede?
For general maintenance, use a soft suede brush to remove dirt. For stains, a specialized suede cleaner is recommended. Always test any cleaning product on an inconspicuous area first, and allow to air dry away from heat.
How often should I replace these walking shoes?
The lifespan of walking shoes depends on usage, but typically, walking shoes last between 300 to 500 miles, or about 6 to 12 months of regular use. Pay attention to signs of wear such as reduced cushioning, worn outsoles, or persistent discomfort.
Troubleshooting
Foot discomfort after walking
Ensure correct lacing tension. Consider trying different socks or checking if the shoe size is truly optimal. The 880 is designed for comfort, so persistent discomfort might indicate a sizing issue or need for specialized insoles.
Suede looks dull or dirty
Regularly brush the suede with a dedicated suede brush to restore its nap. For deeper cleaning, use a reputable suede cleaner product, following its instructions carefully to avoid damage.
Slipping feeling inside the shoe
Tighten the laces more securely, particularly around the midfoot. Wearing thicker or performance walking socks can also improve fit and reduce internal movement.
