FAQs
What activities are the New Balance BB80 trainers best suited for?
These trainers are ideal for casual and leisure time activities, such as walking, running errands, social gatherings, and general everyday wear. They are not designed for high-performance sports or intense athletic training.
How do I ensure I get the correct size?
It is crucial to try on your footwear before returning, as the box or label may sometimes state a US/Euro size that differs from the UK size. Always refer to the UK size when ordering and check the fit upon arrival.
What materials are the New Balance BB80 trainers made from?
The upper is made from durable synthetic material, and the sole is constructed from rubber with an anti-slip profile.
Can I machine wash my New Balance BB80 trainers?
No, it is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. Machine washing can damage the materials and adhesives. Please refer to the care instructions for proper cleaning methods.
Are these trainers waterproof?
The product description does not specify that these trainers are waterproof. While the synthetic upper offers some resistance to light moisture, they are not designed to be fully waterproof and should be protected from heavy rain or submersion.
How do I clean the anti-slip sole?
You can clean the anti-slip sole by using a stiff brush (like an old toothbrush) and a mild soap solution to remove dirt and debris. Rinse with a damp cloth and allow to air dry completely.
Troubleshooting
Trainers feel too tight or too loose
Adjust the lacing system. If still uncomfortable, double-check your size against the New Balance sizing guide, considering the note about potential label discrepancies. Ensure you've tried them on with the type of socks you typically wear.
Squeaking sound when walking
Sometimes a new insole can cause squeaking. Try removing the insole and walking without it to see if the sound stops. If it does, a light sprinkle of baby powder or cornstarch under the insole can help. If the squeak comes from the outsole, ensure it's clean and dry.
Lack of grip on certain surfaces
While the outsole has an anti-slip profile, extreme conditions can still be challenging. Ensure the sole is clean from mud or debris. If the trainers are wet, wipe the soles dry if possible. Always exercise caution on slippery surfaces.
Foul odor developing
Allow trainers to air out after each use. Remove insoles if possible for better airflow. For existing odors, use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside and let it sit overnight. Avoid wearing the same pair every day to let them fully dry.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Getting started with your New Balance BB80 trainers is simple:
- Lacing: Unlace the trainers to allow your foot to slide in comfortably.
- Insert Foot: Place your foot inside, ensuring your heel is seated firmly at the back of the shoe.
- Adjust Lacing: Starting from the toe end, progressively tighten the laces to achieve a snug but comfortable fit. Ensure the laces are even and tied securely.
Compatibility

Care
Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your New Balance BB80 trainers:
- Regular Cleaning: For daily dirt, gently wipe the synthetic upper with a damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush.
- Sole Cleaning: Use a brush (like an old toothbrush) to remove dirt and debris from the anti-slip profile of the rubber sole. This maintains effective traction.
- Drying: Allow trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, as this can damage the synthetic materials and adhesives.
- Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. You can use shoe trees or stuff them with paper to help maintain their shape.
- Avoid Submersion: Do not machine wash or submerge the trainers in water, as this can damage the materials and construction.
