FAQs
Are the New Balance 880R trainers suitable for long-distance running?
While inspired by running designs, the 880R is primarily a lifestyle trainer. For dedicated long-distance running, consider New Balance performance-specific models.
How should I clean the suede panels?
Use a dry, soft-bristled brush to remove dust. Do not submerge the shoes in water.
Is this a unisex model?
Yes, the 880R series is designed as a unisex trainer with sizing available for various foot widths and lengths.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the provided insoles are removable, allowing you to insert custom orthotics if preferred.
What is the primary material used in the upper?
The upper is constructed using premium suede panels for durability and a classic look.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt or scuffs on the suede upper
Use a specialized suede brush or a clean pencil eraser to gently lift dirt from the nap of the material.
Foot feels slightly tight during initial wear
Loosen the laces across the midfoot to allow the material to flex; suede often softens and conforms to the foot shape with consistent use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your 880R trainers last, follow these guidelines:
- Fit: Ensure you have a thumbs-width of space in the toe box for maximum comfort.
- Care: Avoid machine washing. Instead, use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove surface dirt from the suede. For tougher stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner or a specialized rubber eraser.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the black and grey pigments from fading over time.
- Protection: Consider applying a suede-safe water repellent spray to protect against accidental spills and light moisture.
