FAQs
Are these shoes water-resistant?
The New Balance 878 is typically crafted from materials designed for breathability rather than water resistance; it is best to avoid heavy rain.
Can I use these for running?
While comfortable for walking, the 878 series is categorized as a low-top lifestyle shoe and is not recommended for dedicated distance running.
How do I determine my size?
The 878 series follows standard UK adult sizing. It is recommended to choose the size that matches your regular daily footwear.
Are the insoles removable?
Yes, the insoles are generally removable, allowing you to insert your own custom orthotics if required.
How do I keep the white parts white?
Use a magic eraser or a specialized sneaker cleaning kit designed for white midsoles and upper materials.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt or stains on the cream surface
Use a specialized sneaker cleaner or a soft cloth with mild detergent to gently scrub the affected area.
Tight fit across the midfoot
Loosen the lacing system completely and re-lace the shoes, applying less tension to the eyelets near the arch.
Creasing on the toe box
Use a shoe tree when not wearing the shoes to help maintain the structural integrity and minimize permanent creasing.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Versatile style suitable for various casual settings
- Comfortable fit for all-day wear
- Clean, neutral color palette that matches most wardrobes
- Well-regarded series known for consistent quality
Cons
- Light-colored materials are susceptible to dirt and stains
- Limited to casual use rather than performance athletic training
- Requires regular cleaning to maintain the cream and white aesthetic
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these are low-top shoes, ensure you select your correct UK adult size to prevent heel slippage or tightness in the toe box. The New Balance 878 series generally fits true to size, but standard socks are recommended to ensure proper volume inside the shoe. To keep the cream and white finish looking new, it is advisable to use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt after each use. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap solution and a cloth, taking care not to submerge the shoes completely. Always air dry away from direct heat sources to prevent material warping or discoloration.
