FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
The New Balance 878 'Grey' trainers are primarily designed for casual wear and walking, featuring ABZORB® cushioning for comfort. They are not specialized running shoes and may not provide the specific support or cushioning required for high-impact running.
What is the main benefit of the ABZORB® midsole?
The ABZORB® midsole provides excellent shock absorption, reducing the impact on your feet and joints. This enhances comfort, especially during prolonged periods of walking or standing.
How do I clean the grey material?
For general cleaning, use a soft, damp cloth. For stains, a mild soap and water solution with a soft brush can be used. Always air dry and avoid machine washing or harsh chemicals.
What kind of outfits do these trainers go well with?
The versatile grey colorway and classic design make them suitable for a wide range of outfits, including jeans, shorts, chinos, and casual dresses or skirts.
Are these trainers waterproof?
These trainers are not inherently waterproof. While a fabric protector spray can offer some resistance to water and stains, they are not designed for use in heavy rain or wet conditions.
What is the inspiration behind the 878 series?
The 878 series is inspired by classic New Balance designs, blending heritage aesthetics with modern comfort and technology to create a timeless yet contemporary sneaker.
What size foot does UK 8 typically correspond to?
A UK 8 in men's footwear typically corresponds to a US 8.5-9 and a EU 42-42.5, though this can vary slightly by brand. It is always best to consult the specific brand's size chart.
Troubleshooting
Sizing feels off
Refer to the New Balance size chart and measure your foot. If possible, try on a pair in-store. Note that variations can occur between models.
Discomfort after initial wear
New shoes often require a break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase the duration. Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks.
Stains on the grey material
Address stains promptly with a soft cloth and a mild cleaning solution. For tougher stains, consult a professional shoe cleaner or use a specialized trainer cleaner.
Laces wear out or break
Replace laces with standard trainer laces. Ensure the length and style are appropriate for the shoe.
