FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for long-distance running?
The 880R is designed with a runner-inspired aesthetic and comfort features for daily wear, but it is not a dedicated high-performance technical marathon shoe.
How do I clean the suede upper?
Use a specialized suede brush or a dry cloth to remove dirt. Avoid water or liquid cleaners, as they can ruin the suede finish.
Is the 880R a unisex shoe?
Yes, the New Balance 880R is designed as a unisex model to accommodate various foot shapes and style preferences.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the suede material, adhesives, and the structural integrity of the midsole.
Does the ABZORB cushioning lose its bounce?
Like all foam cushioning, it will compress over time. Proper storage and avoiding extreme heat exposure will help maintain the cushioning performance for longer.
Are these shoes true to size?
New Balance shoes generally follow standard sizing, but it is recommended to consult a size guide or try them on in person if possible, as suede can feel more structured than mesh.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks dull or matted
Use a soft-bristled suede brush to restore the nap of the material by brushing in one consistent direction.
Water spots on the material
Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from heat sources, then use a suede eraser or brush to gently buff the affected area.
Minor scuffs on the midsole
Wipe the rubber midsole components with a damp cloth and a mild soap solution to remove surface marks.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these trainers feature suede uppers, proper maintenance is essential to extend the life of the footwear. To clean the suede, use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt and debris gently. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh chemical cleaners, as these can damage the texture and color of the material. For storage, keep the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the grey tones from fading. When fitting, ensure you select your correct size to utilize the intended support of the midsole technology, keeping in mind that suede may offer a slightly more snug fit than synthetic mesh alternatives.
