FAQs

What activities are the New Balance Fresh Foam 880 Trainers best suited for?

These trainers are ideal for general training, long walks, gym workouts, and comfortable everyday wear. Their cushioning and support make them versatile for various light to moderate activities.

How do I properly clean the suede part of my trainers?

For suede, use a dedicated suede brush to remove loose dirt and a suede eraser for scuffs. For tougher stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and always follow the cleaner's instructions carefully. Avoid soaking suede in water.

What is Fresh Foam X technology?

Fresh Foam X is an advanced cushioning foam integrated into the midsole. It's designed to provide high resistance to deformation, offering superior comfort, responsiveness, and excellent shock absorption with every stride.

What is N-Durance technology?

N-Durance is a durable rubber compound used in the outsole of the trainers. It provides exceptional resistance to wear and tear, enhancing the shoe's longevity and offering reliable grip on various surfaces, while also contributing to joint protection.

Are these trainers suitable for serious running?

While they offer excellent cushioning and support for general training and walking, for serious or competitive running, you might consider New Balance models specifically designed for dedicated running performance that cater to higher impact and speed requirements.

Is the New Balance Fresh Foam 880 waterproof?

The trainers are not designed to be fully waterproof, especially due to the suede and mesh upper. Exposure to heavy rain or standing water may lead to water penetration.

How does Walking Strike Path technology benefit me?

Walking Strike Path is a sole technology that helps guide your foot through its natural gait cycle. This promotes smoother transitions from heel strike to toe-off, enhancing overall walking efficiency and comfort, and potentially reducing strain.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel uncomfortable or rub.

Ensure you have the correct size. Try different lacing patterns to adjust tightness. Wear appropriate athletic socks. A short break-in period might also resolve minor discomfort.

Suede material appears dirty or stained.

Use a specialized suede brush to remove surface dirt. For deeper stains, apply a suede cleaner designed for footwear, following the product's instructions carefully. Avoid using water directly on suede unless specified by the cleaner.

Shoes develop an unpleasant odor.

Allow your trainers to air out completely after each use. Remove insoles occasionally for separate airing. Consider using shoe deodorizers or natural odor absorbers (e.g., baking soda in a sachet) to keep them fresh. Ensure you wear moisture-wicking socks.

Sole grip feels inadequate on certain surfaces.

Regularly clean the N-Durance outsole to remove embedded dirt or debris that can reduce traction. While designed for good grip, always exercise caution on extremely wet or slippery surfaces.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

Setting up your New Balance Fresh Foam 880 Trainers is straightforward:

  1. Sizing: Ensure you have selected the correct UK size 7 for optimal comfort and performance. If unsure, refer to a New Balance size guide.
  2. Lacing: Lace your trainers comfortably, ensuring they are snug but not overly tight. Experiment with different lacing techniques if you have specific fit preferences or foot shapes.
  3. Break-In: While these trainers are designed for immediate comfort, a short break-in period (a few short walks) can help them mold perfectly to your feet.

Compatibility

These trainers are designed for adult males and are highly compatible with:

  • Activities: General training, long walks, gym workouts, and everyday casual wear.
  • Clothing: They complement various men's sportswear and casual outfits due to their classic design and color.
  • Footwear Accessories: Work best with athletic socks that provide cushioning and moisture-wicking properties.

Care Instructions

Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your trainers:

  • Cleaning the Upper (Suede & Mesh):
  • For suede, use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt and a suede eraser for scuffs. For tougher stains, use a suede cleaner following product instructions.
  • For mesh, use a soft brush or cloth with mild soap and lukewarm water to gently scrub dirty areas. Avoid harsh chemicals.
  • Cleaning the Midsole and Outsole: Wipe down with a damp cloth and mild soap. A soft brush can help dislodge dirt from crevices.
  • Drying: Always air dry your trainers at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight, which can damage materials. Do not put them in a dryer.
  • Storage: Store them in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
  • Avoid: Do not machine wash or submerge in water, especially due to the suede material.
