FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While inspired by 2000s running designs, the 880R is intended primarily as a lifestyle trainer for everyday wear.
Can I wash the 880R in a washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the suede material and compromise the structural integrity of the cushioning.
Is the sizing gender-neutral?
Yes, these are unisex trainers, but be sure to select your specific size based on standard UK adult sizing charts.
What is the primary material used?
The upper is constructed from high-quality suede, which provides a durable and stylish finish.
Do these shoes provide good arch support?
The inclusion of ABZORB cushioning and compression resistance provides a balanced level of support suitable for most casual walkers.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dull or matted
Use a soft-bristled suede brush to gently restore the nap of the material.
Difficult to remove surface dust
Gently pat the shoe with a dry cloth or use compressed air to clear debris from the crevices.
Foot discomfort during break-in
Ensure the laces are adjusted to your preferred tension and wear them for short periods to allow the footbed to conform to your stride.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 880R trainers stay in top condition, follow these guidelines:
- Sizing: These shoes follow standard adult UK sizing. Ensure you verify your fit as they offer a structured, supportive shape.
- Cleaning: Avoid machine washing. For the suede components, use a dedicated suede brush to remove loose dirt gently.
- Stain Removal: Use a specialized suede eraser for small spots. Avoid getting the suede overly wet, as this can alter the texture of the material.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the vibrant blue and grey colors from fading over time.
