FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for sports like running or gym workouts?
The New Balance BB80 trainers are primarily designed for casual wear and leisure activities. While they offer comfort and durability for everyday use, they are not specifically engineered for the demands of high-performance running or intense gym workouts.
How do I clean the synthetic upper material?
To clean the synthetic upper, use a soft, damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap. Gently wipe the affected areas and then wipe clean with a cloth dampened only with water. Allow the trainers to air dry completely at room temperature, away from direct heat.
What is the sole made of, and is it non-marking?
The sole is made of durable rubber with an anti-slip profile for traction. While typically non-marking, it's always best to test on sensitive indoor surfaces if this is a critical concern, as some specific floor types may react differently.
How can I ensure I get the correct UK size, given the note about US/Euro sizing?
Always try on the trainers before confirming your purchase. Focus on the fit and comfort. If there's a size label on the box or shoe showing US/Euro, always verify it corresponds to the UK size you intended to order (UK 6 in this case) to prevent any sizing discrepancies.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
No, it is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. Machine washing can damage the materials, adhesives, and overall structure of the footwear. Follow the spot-cleaning instructions for the synthetic upper and outsole.
Are these trainers waterproof?
The durable synthetic upper offers some resistance to light moisture, but these trainers are not designed to be fully waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain or standing water may result in wet feet. For enhanced water resistance, you might consider applying a footwear protector spray.
Troubleshooting
Footwear feels uncomfortable or too tight/loose.
Adjust the lacing system to achieve a snug yet comfortable fit. If discomfort persists, double-check the size. Always verify the UK size, as US/Euro conversions on labels can sometimes cause confusion. Consider trying them on with different sock thicknesses.
Reduced grip on surfaces, despite anti-slip profile.
Inspect the rubber outsole for accumulated dirt, mud, or small debris that might be filling the anti-slip treads. Clean the outsole thoroughly with a stiff brush and water to restore optimal traction. If the outsole is excessively worn, this could indicate the need for replacement.
Synthetic upper appears dirty or stained.
Gently wipe the synthetic upper with a soft, damp cloth and a small amount of mild, diluted soap. Avoid scrubbing aggressively or using harsh chemicals, which can damage the material. Air dry completely.
Trainers develop an unpleasant odor.
Allow trainers to air out thoroughly after each wear. Remove insoles occasionally to air them separately. You can also use shoe deodorizers, baking soda sprinkled inside overnight (then vacuumed out), or specialized footwear sprays to absorb moisture and neutralize odors.

Care:
- Sizing Check: Before first wear, always try on your trainers to ensure the correct fit. Be aware that the box or shoe label may display US or Euro sizes which can differ from the stated UK size. Confirm you have the UK 6 size you intended.
- Cleaning the Upper: For the durable synthetic upper, use a soft, damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap (like dish soap) to gently wipe away dirt and stains. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the material. Do not machine wash.
- Outsole Maintenance: Regularly check the anti-slip outsole for embedded dirt or small stones. Use a soft brush to clean the treads to maintain optimal traction.
- Drying: After cleaning, allow the trainers to air dry completely at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or artificial heat sources, which can damage materials.
- Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place to prevent odor and material degradation.
