FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

The New Balance 878 'Grey' Low Shoes feature an ABZORB® midsole for comfort and shock absorption, making them excellent for walking and everyday wear. However, they are not specifically designed or recommended for high-impact athletic activities like running.

How do I find the right size?

Refer to the size chart provided by New Balance or the retailer. Measure your foot length and compare it to the UK sizing. If you are between sizes, it is often recommended to size up for a more comfortable fit, especially for wider feet.

Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?

While the shoes offer some protection, they are not waterproof. It is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain. Applying a water-repellent spray can offer some protection against light moisture.

What is ABZORB® technology?

ABZORB® is a New Balance technology that provides excellent cushioning and shock absorption, helping to reduce the impact on your feet and joints during movement.

How should I clean the grey material?

For best results, spot clean with a damp cloth and a mild soap. For suede or nubuck accents, use a specialized shoe cleaner and a suede brush. Always allow the shoes to air dry naturally.

Do these shoes come in other colors?

The New Balance 878 series is available in various colorways. Please check the product listings for other available options.

Troubleshooting

Slightly tight fit upon first wear.

Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow them to break in and mold to your feet. Consider using thicker socks during the break-in phase.

Creasing on the upper.

Some creasing is normal with wear. To minimize excessive creasing, ensure the shoes are stored properly and consider using shoe trees.

Discoloration from rubbing.

This can occur with new shoes, especially darker colors. Wear with matching or dark socks initially. If discoloration is persistent on socks, consider a fabric protector.
