FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for running?

The New Balance 878 trainers are designed primarily for lifestyle and casual wear, offering comfort and support for everyday activities. They are not specialized running shoes and may not provide the necessary features for high-impact running.

How do I clean the grey upper material?

Use a soft brush or cloth to remove surface dirt. For deeper cleaning, a mild soap and water solution applied with a damp cloth is recommended. Avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing to preserve the material and color.

What is ABZORB® technology?

ABZORB® is New Balance's proprietary midsole technology that absorbs impact and provides cushioning, enhancing comfort during wear.

Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?

While the trainers can handle light moisture, they are not waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to prevent damage and maintain their appearance.

What other sizes and colors are available for the 878 series?

The 878 series is available in various sizes and colorways. Please check the product listings for available options, as specific colorways and sizes can vary.

Are these trainers heavy?

The New Balance 878 trainers are designed to be relatively lightweight for comfortable daily wear, thanks to their construction and materials.

Troubleshooting

Sizing feels slightly off

Ensure you are wearing the appropriate socks. If still uncomfortable, consider trying a half-size up or down, as fit can vary slightly between individuals and even batches.

Dirt or stains on the grey upper

Spot clean immediately with a damp cloth and mild soap. For stubborn marks, use a soft brush and a specialized sneaker cleaner, following product instructions.

Reduced cushioning over time

While ABZORB® is durable, cushioning may naturally decrease with extensive wear. Consider rotating with other footwear to extend the life of the cushioning.
