FAQs
Are the New Balance 880R trainers true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard UK sizing for adult trainers.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
No, submerging suede shoes in a washing machine will damage the material and structure; stick to spot cleaning.
What does ABZORB technology do?
ABZORB is a proprietary foam blend that provides superior cushioning and impact absorption, protecting your feet from fatigue.
Is the 880R suitable for running?
The 880R is primarily a lifestyle trainer inspired by running designs; while comfortable, it is not intended for long-distance or high-intensity athletic running.
How do I care for the white suede?
Use a suede eraser for scuffs and a suede brush regularly to keep the nap lifted and clean.
Troubleshooting
The suede is showing light stains or dirt.
Use a dry soft-bristle brush to gently lift dirt; avoid getting the suede overly wet.
The shoe feels slightly tight across the instep.
Ensure the laces are loosened thoroughly; the suede material will naturally soften and adapt to your foot shape after a few wears.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 880R trainers remain in top condition, follow these guidelines. Setup is straightforward; once you receive your pair, verify the fit by ensuring there is a thumb's width of space at the toe. Compatibility is high, as the neutral white and grey palette pairs easily with denim, joggers, or casual trousers.
Care instructions:
- Cleaning: Use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt and dust.
- Stain Removal: For deeper stains, utilize a suede-specific cleaning solution, applying it sparingly with a soft cloth.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading.
- Protection: Consider applying a protective spray specifically rated for suede to help repel light water and stains.
