FAQs
Are the New Balance 878 trainers good for running?
The New Balance 878 trainers are inspired by performance running shoes and are suitable for light jogging or training. For intense or long-distance running, specialized running shoes might offer better performance and support.
How do I determine my UK shoe size?
Refer to the sizing chart provided by New Balance or the retailer. Generally, UK sizing is different from US or European sizing. It's recommended to measure your foot length and compare it to the chart.
What is the main color of these trainers?
The main color is grey, with black accents as secondary coloring.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials and construction of the trainers. Hand wash or spot clean only.
What kind of socks should I wear with these trainers?
You can wear them with various types of socks, from thin athletic socks to thicker casual socks, depending on your comfort preference and the activity.
What does the 'Presidential Running Shoes' series signify?
This series signifies a line of New Balance shoes renowned for high quality and performance, drawing inspiration from their historical running shoe designs, like those from the 1906 Boston Marathon.
Are these trainers suitable for wide feet?
Sizing and fit can vary. While some New Balance models offer wide-width options, this specific description does not detail width availability. It's best to check product listings or contact the retailer for width information.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure you have the correct size. If slightly tight, wear with thin socks initially or use a shoe stretcher. Check lacing to ensure it's not over-tightened.
Soles feel slippery
Clean the soles with water and a brush to remove accumulated dirt or debris that might be reducing traction. Ensure the surface you are on is not inherently slippery (e.g., wet polished floors).
Discoloration on grey upper
Spot clean gently with a damp cloth and mild soap solution. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaning tools.
