Full details
The New Balance 878 in grey is designed for adults seeking a blend of classic aesthetics and modern athletic comfort. Featuring the brand's signature ABZORB cushioning technology, these trainers offer exceptional shock absorption for daily wear or casual walking. While the silhouette is highly fashionable and versatile, users should note that these are lifestyle-oriented trainers rather than high-performance technical running shoes.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The 878 series is primarily a lifestyle trainer designed for walking and casual use, rather than dedicated performance running.
How does the sizing run?
The New Balance 878 generally fits true to size for most adults, though personal preference for a wider fit may require a half-size increase.
Can I use these for gym workouts?
They are perfect for light gym activities, walking, or warm-ups, but specialized lifting shoes may be preferred for heavy squatting or deadlifting.
What is the primary material used?
The 878 features a combination of high-quality synthetic materials and mesh components for durability and breathability.
Does the grey colour stain easily?
Like any light-coloured footwear, it can pick up dirt, so we recommend applying a water and stain repellent spray compatible with footwear materials.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt on the upper material
Gently clean with a damp cloth or soft sponge using a mixture of water and mild detergent. Air dry away from direct heat.
Midsole feels slightly stiff during the first wear
The ABZORB cushioning typically requires a short break-in period of 2-3 days of regular wear to conform to your foot shape.
Laces becoming undone
Ensure a double knot is used if you are walking long distances, or consider replacing the laces with a different texture if slippage persists.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 878 trainers remain in top condition, follow these simple care guidelines:
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush or a cloth dampened with mild soap to gently remove dirt from the upper. Avoid machine washing or drying, as this can damage the materials.
- Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent colour fading or material breakdown.
- Compatibility: These trainers feature a standard fit suitable for most adult foot shapes. If you are between sizes, consider ordering a half-size up for extra room.
- Maintenance: Periodically check the outsoles for debris lodged in the tread to maintain optimal traction.
