FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running marathons?
The New Balance 878 'Grey' trainers are designed for comfort and casual wear. While they offer good cushioning, they are not specialized for high-performance running like marathon events. For such activities, dedicated running shoes are recommended.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Refer to the sizing chart provided by New Balance or measure your foot length. The UK 12 size is specified for this particular product variant.
Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials and construction of the trainers. Hand clean with a damp cloth and mild soap only.
What does 'ABZORB®' mean?
ABZORB® is a New Balance technology that provides excellent shock absorption, helping to reduce impact on your feet and joints during wear.

What occasions are these trainers best suited for?

Troubleshooting
Slight stiffness upon first wear
This is normal for new footwear. Wear them for short periods initially to allow them to break in and conform to your foot shape.
Discoloration after cleaning
Ensure you are using a mild soap and a damp, not wet, cloth. Always test cleaning solutions on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid excessive water.
Reduced cushioning over time
While ABZORB® is durable, cushioning can naturally decrease with extensive wear. Regular cleaning and proper storage can help prolong the midsole's effectiveness.
