FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The New Balance 878 is classified as a lifestyle trainer and is designed for daily wear and walking rather than specialized long-distance running.
Does the 878 series fit true to size?
Generally, New Balance trainers fit true to size, though personal preference for width can vary. If you are between sizes, it is often recommended to opt for the larger size.
Can the insoles be removed?
Yes, the insoles in most New Balance 878 models are removable, which allows for the insertion of custom orthotics if required.
Are these shoes unisex?
Yes, the 878 series is designed as a unisex model to accommodate a diverse range of foot shapes.
How should I store these trainers?
Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the colours from fading and the materials from becoming brittle over time.
Troubleshooting
Visible surface stains on the light grey/white panels
Use a specialized sneaker cleaning foam or a mixture of mild soap and water with a soft cloth to gently dab the area.
Laces coming undone frequently
Ensure the laces are threaded properly and consider a double-knot or using a 'runner's loop' for added security.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these are standard lace-up trainers, no complex setup is required. Ensure you select the correct UK size based on your standard New Balance fit, as sizing can occasionally run slightly different from other footwear brands. To maintain the Nimbus Cloud aesthetic, avoid wearing these in heavy mud or wet conditions. To clean, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry debris, and spot-clean the white and grey panels with a damp cloth and mild, neutral soap. Allow the shoes to air dry away from direct heat sources to prevent material damage or warping.
