FAQs

Are these shoes machine washable?

No, machine washing can permanently damage the suede material and compromise the shoe's structure. Always use hand-cleaning methods.

Can I use these for long-distance running?

While inspired by retro runners, these shoes are designed for lifestyle and casual wear rather than intense, high-mileage athletic training.

How do I choose the correct size?

New Balance sizing is generally consistent, but it is recommended to ensure there is about a half-inch of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe.

Does the suede require special treatment?

Applying a suede-safe water and stain repellent spray upon purchase is highly recommended to protect the material from the elements.

Is the unisex fit true to size?

Yes, the 880R follows standard sizing conventions, but consider the width if you have particularly wide or narrow feet.

Troubleshooting

Visible dirt on suede upper

Use a dry, soft brush to gently remove dirt in the direction of the suede grain.

Loose fit or heel slippage

Adjust the laces using the eyelets closer to the ankle to create a 'heel lock' for a more secure fit.

Midsole appears slightly stiff initially

The ABZORB cushioning will naturally break in and soften after a few hours of regular walking.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent all-day comfort due to ABZORB technology
  • Sophisticated retro design suitable for casual fashion
  • Durable suede construction
  • Unisex design provides inclusive sizing options

Cons

  • Suede material is susceptible to staining in wet conditions
  • Lighter white colourway requires regular maintenance to stay clean
  • Not intended for high-performance athletic training

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Getting the right fit is essential for the 880R. Use the lace-up system to secure the foot firmly without restricting circulation. Since the exterior features suede, avoid wearing these shoes in heavy rain or mud, as moisture can damage the texture and colour. To clean, use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove surface dirt. If necessary, use a specialized suede cleaner and apply a protective water-repellent spray before the first wear to extend the life of the materials.
