FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

New Balance sizing is generally consistent, but individual foot shapes can vary. We recommend consulting a New Balance size chart and considering any previous New Balance shoe experiences. This model is a UK Size 5.

Can I machine wash these shoes?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials and construction of the shoes. Please follow the spot cleaning and air drying instructions provided in the 'Care & Maintenance' section.

What activities are these shoes suitable for?

The New Balance BB80 is ideal for everyday casual wear, light walking, and general daily activities. It is not designed for specialized high-impact sports or rigorous athletic training.

What materials are the BB80 shoes made from?

Info needed: Specific material composition (e.g., leather, synthetic, mesh). Generally, New Balance uses a combination of durable synthetics, textiles, and sometimes leather for their BB80 series, focusing on comfort and support.

How do I prevent my black shoes from fading?

Minimize prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can cause colors to fade. Regular cleaning (rather than harsh scrubbing) and proper storage can also help maintain the color integrity.

Do these shoes offer good arch support?

New Balance shoes are generally known for offering good basic arch support suitable for everyday wear. For specific orthopedic needs, you may consider using custom or over-the-counter insoles.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable after initial wear.

Ensure you have the correct size. Check your lacing – sometimes loosening the laces can provide more room. Allow a short break-in period; if discomfort persists, consult a sizing guide or professional.

My shoes look dirty or scuffed easily.

Regularly clean your shoes as per the care instructions above. The black color helps mask some dirt, but consistent light cleaning will keep them looking fresh. For scuffs, a specialized shoe cleaner or black shoe polish (if applicable to material, info needed) might help.

The shoes are making a squeaking sound.

Check if the insole is properly seated; sometimes a loose insole can cause squeaking. A small amount of baby powder under the insole can often resolve this. If the squeak comes from the sole, it might be due to moisture or trapped debris, so clean the outsole thoroughly.

My feet get sweaty or develop odor.

Wear moisture-wicking socks. Remove insoles after use to allow them to air dry. Use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes overnight to absorb moisture and odors.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Getting the most out of your New Balance BB80 shoes involves understanding their initial fit, what they pair well with, and how to maintain them.

Setup (First Use)

  1. Lacing: Ensure the laces are securely but not overly tightly tied. Adjust them to allow comfortable foot movement without slippage.
  2. Initial Wear: Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow them to conform to your feet. While New Balance shoes are generally comfortable out of the box, a brief break-in period can enhance overall comfort.

Compatibility

  • Apparel: The black BB80 is highly versatile. It pairs well with casual wear such as jeans, shorts, chinos, and even some smart-casual outfits.
  • Activities: Best suited for daily wear, urban exploration, light walking, and casual social events. Not recommended for specialized sports like long-distance running, basketball, or intense hiking.

Care & Maintenance

Proper care extends the life and appearance of your shoes:

  • Cleaning:
  1. Remove Loose Dirt: Use a soft brush (like an old toothbrush) to gently brush off any dry dirt or mud.
  2. Spot Clean: Mix a small amount of mild detergent (like dish soap) with warm water. Dampen a soft cloth or sponge with the solution and gently wipe soiled areas.
  3. Rinse (Cloth Only): Use a separate clean, damp cloth (with plain water) to wipe away any soap residue.
  4. Air Dry: Allow the shoes to air dry completely at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or heat sources. Do not machine wash or machine dry.
  • Odor Control: Remove insoles periodically and air them out. You can also use shoe deodorizers or baking soda sprinkled inside overnight.
  • Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
  • Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use bleach or strong cleaning agents, as they can damage materials and cause discoloration.
