FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for basketball?

While inspired by basketball aesthetics, the New Balance BB80 is primarily designed for casual, everyday wear and style, not high-performance basketball sports. For athletic activities, we recommend shoes specifically engineered for those sports.

How do I determine my size?

This specific model is a UK Adult Size 5.5. We recommend referring to New Balance's official size chart and measuring your foot length for the most accurate fit. It's often best to try shoes on to ensure proper comfort.

Can I machine wash these shoes?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can severely damage the materials, adhesives, and overall structure of the shoe. Please refer to the care instructions for proper cleaning methods.

What materials are these shoes made from?

The New Balance BB80 features a durable rubber outsole for traction and longevity, combined with a classic upper design. Info needed: Specific upper material (e.g., leather, synthetic, textile).

Are they comfortable for all-day wear?

Yes, the New Balance BB80 is designed with comfort in mind for extended casual wear, offering a supportive fit for daily activities such as walking and general use.

Is this model available in other colors or sizes?

The New Balance BB80 series often comes in various colors and sizes. This particular model is White, UK 5.5. Please check the product listings or authorized retailers for other available options.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or loose

Ensure you have the correct size (this model is UK 5.5 for adults). Adjust lacing for a more comfortable fit. Consider trying them on with different sock thicknesses to fine-tune the fit.

Squeaking sound while walking

Squeaking can sometimes be caused by moisture or friction. Try applying a small amount of talcum powder under the insole. If the outsole squeaks on certain surfaces, it may be normal for the rubber compound.

Scuffs or marks on the white surface

For minor scuffs, use a sneaker cleaner or a melamine foam eraser (e.g., Magic Eraser) gently. For deeper marks, a white shoe polish or paint pen specifically designed for sneakers can help blend them.

Outsole appears to be losing grip

Clean the outsole thoroughly to remove any embedded dirt, dust, or debris that might be reducing traction. If the tread is significantly worn, it may indicate natural wear and tear over time, especially with frequent use.

Care Instructions

To maintain your New Balance BB80s and prolong their lifespan:

  1. Cleaning: Wipe down the outer surface with a damp cloth and mild soap. For tougher dirt, a soft brush can be used gently on the outsole.
  2. Drying: Always air dry your shoes at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight. This prevents material damage, cracking, or discoloration.
  3. Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees can help maintain their original shape and prevent creasing.
  4. Avoid: Do not machine wash or tumble dry, as this can severely damage the materials and adhesives, voiding any potential warranty.
