Product Information
Full details
The New Balance 878 'Grey' Low Shoes are designed for adults seeking a blend of classic style and modern comfort. The key benefit is the ABZORB® midsole, which provides excellent shock absorption for all-day wear. A minor caveat is that the sleek stitch line, while visually appealing, might require slightly more careful cleaning to maintain its sharp appearance.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The New Balance 878 'Grey' Low Shoes are primarily designed for casual wear and walking. While they offer good cushioning, they do not provide the specialized support and features required for high-impact running.
How do I determine my correct size?
Refer to the size chart provided by New Balance or your retailer. It is recommended to measure your foot length and compare it with the sizing guide. For this model, UK size 4 is indicated.
What is the ABZORB® technology?
ABZORB® is a specialized cushioning technology developed by New Balance that absorbs impact and helps reduce stress on the feet and joints, providing enhanced comfort.
Can I wash these shoes in a washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash these shoes. Hand washing with mild soap and water, and air drying, is the preferred method to maintain their material integrity and shape.
What kind of socks are best to wear with these shoes?
These shoes are versatile and can be worn with various types of socks, from thin athletic socks to casual cotton socks, depending on your comfort and the intended activity.
Do these shoes come in other colors?
While this guide focuses on the 'Grey' colorway, the New Balance 878 series may be available in other color options depending on the retailer and current availability.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure you have the correct size. If slightly tight, try wearing them with thinner socks initially. Over time, the materials may stretch slightly with wear.
Dirt on the stitch line is difficult to remove
Use a soft-bristled brush and a small amount of mild soap mixed with water. Gently scrub the affected area and wipe clean with a damp cloth. For persistent marks, consider a specialized sneaker cleaner.
Midsole appears worn or less cushioned
While ABZORB® is durable, cushioning can naturally decrease over extensive use. Ensure the shoes are not being used for activities exceeding their intended casual wear purpose.
