FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for long-distance running?
The 880R is primarily designed as a lifestyle and casual trainer. While it features running-inspired technology, it is not optimized for high-intensity athletic training.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No. Machine washing can damage the suede material and the internal cushioning components. Clean by hand only.
What is ABZORB technology?
ABZORB is a proprietary cushioning foam from New Balance that excels at absorbing energy upon impact, protecting joints during daily movement.
How should I store these trainers?
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can cause the grey color to fade over time.
Do these come in different widths?
The 880R is designed as a standard unisex width; check the sizing guide to confirm if your specific size accommodates your foot shape.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel tight after a long day
Feet naturally swell throughout the day; try loosening the laces slightly to accommodate natural changes in volume.
Surface stains on the suede
Use a specialized suede eraser or a soft cloth with a tiny amount of suede cleaner; never rub aggressively as this can damage the texture.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because the 880R is crafted with suede, proper care is essential to maintain its appearance. To clean, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dust and dirt gently. If the shoes become damp, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can cause the suede to stiffen or shrink. Avoid machine washing or submerging the trainers in water. Regarding compatibility, the unisex fit standard means sizing typically runs true to size, but we recommend measuring your feet while wearing your preferred sock thickness to ensure the best fit.
