FAQs
Are the New Balance 880R shoes waterproof?
No, the shoes are made primarily of suede, which is porous and not waterproof. It is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain.
Can I use these for running?
While inspired by performance runners, the 880R is categorized as a lifestyle trainer. It is best suited for walking and everyday use.
How do I clean suede shoes?
Use a specialized suede brush or a dry sponge. For stubborn spots, a suede eraser can be used with extreme caution.
Are these shoes unisex?
Yes, the 880R design is unisex and suitable for anyone provided the size fits correctly.
What is ABZORB cushioning?
ABZORB is a proprietary New Balance technology that absorbs impact through a combination of cushioning and compression resistance.
How do I choose the right size?
The 880R fits true to standard UK athletic sizing. If you have worn New Balance before, you can generally stick to your usual size.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt or dust on the suede surface
Use a soft-bristled suede brush and gently wipe in one direction to lift dirt without damaging the nap.
Creasing in the midsole area
This is a normal characteristic of athletic trainers; however, using a shoe tree when not in use can help maintain the shape of the upper.
Shoes feeling tight after long wear
Feet often swell slightly throughout the day; ensure laces are not tied too tightly in the morning to allow for natural expansion.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your New Balance 880R trainers, it is essential to follow proper care protocols. Since these shoes utilize suede, avoid exposing them to heavy rain or mud, as these elements can permanently stain and damage the texture. If the shoes become dirty, use a specialized suede brush to gently remove surface debris. Avoid machine washing or submerging them in water, as this can degrade the glue and the integrity of the materials. For fit, ensure you select your standard UK sizing, as the 880R series generally follows traditional athletic sizing conventions.
