FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
The New Balance 878 trainers are designed primarily for lifestyle and casual wear. While they offer good cushioning for walking, they are not optimized for the impact and support required for dedicated running or athletic training.
How do I clean my grey New Balance 878 trainers?
Gently clean the trainers using a soft brush or a damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a mild soap solution and a cloth, then rinse with a clean damp cloth. Always air dry away from direct heat. Avoid machine washing.
What is ABZORB® technology?
ABZORB® is a New Balance technology that provides excellent shock absorption and cushioning, helping to reduce the impact on your feet and joints during walking and everyday activities.
How does the fit of the 878 typically run?
The fit can vary slightly between individuals. It's recommended to try them on with your usual socks to ensure a comfortable fit. Consult the New Balance sizing chart for guidance.
Can I wear these trainers in wet conditions?
These trainers are not waterproof. While they can handle light splashes, prolonged exposure to wet conditions may damage the materials and affect comfort. Consider weather-appropriate footwear for rain or snow.

Troubleshooting
Sizing feels slightly off
Ensure you have tried them on with appropriate socks. If still uncomfortable, consider exchanging for a different size or consulting the New Balance sizing guide. Some materials may require a brief break-in period.
Discoloration or staining
For light stains, use a damp cloth with mild soap. For more stubborn marks, consult a specialized shoe cleaning guide for grey suede/synthetic materials. Always test cleaning solutions on an inconspicuous area first.
Reduced cushioning over time
The ABZORB® midsole is designed for durability, but cushioning can naturally decrease with extensive wear. Regular cleaning and proper storage can help maintain their condition. If significant loss of cushioning occurs, it may be time to consider replacement.
