FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While inspired by 2000s running designs, these are lifestyle trainers intended for casual wear and daily use rather than high-intensity exercise.
How do I clean the suede material?
Use a dry suede brush to remove loose dirt. Avoid using water or standard soap, as these can ruin the suede texture.
Is the sizing true to fit?
New Balance typically offers a consistent fit across the 880R series. It is recommended to choose your standard sneaker size.
Can these shoes be worn in the rain?
It is not recommended, as moisture can damage the suede upper and potentially cause the colors to bleed.
What is the primary benefit of the ABZORB cushioning?
ABZORB provides exceptional shock absorption, which reduces impact stress on your feet and legs during daily activity.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt on the suede surface
Use a dry, soft-bristled brush to gently lift dirt particles away from the nap of the suede.
Creasing in the toe box
Use shoe trees when not wearing the trainers to help maintain the original shape and minimize creasing.
Stains on the fabric
Apply a dedicated suede cleaner sparingly with a clean cloth, following the manufacturer's specific instructions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these trainers are constructed from suede, proper care is essential to extend their lifespan. Avoid wearing them in heavy rain or muddy conditions, as moisture can damage the suede texture and cause discoloration. To clean, use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove surface dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized suede eraser or a leather-safe cleaner, ensuring you never submerge the shoes in water or place them in a washing machine. Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the white and grey materials from fading.
