FAQs
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
No. Machine washing will damage the suede material and compromise the integrity of the shoe's adhesives.
Are the 880R trainers true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard adult UK sizing, but it is recommended to consult a size guide if you are between sizes.
Is the 880R suitable for long-distance running?
While it features running-inspired technology, it is primarily designed as a lifestyle and casual walking shoe rather than a high-mileage performance running trainer.
How do I protect the suede from water?
We recommend applying a high-quality, non-silicone based water and stain repellent spray specifically formulated for suede leather.
Are these shoes unisex?
Yes, the 880R is designed as a unisex model, fitting a wide range of adult foot shapes.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt on suede surface
Use a soft-bristled suede brush to gently lift dirt from the fibers.
Creasing at the toe box
Use a shoe tree when not wearing the trainers to help maintain the original shape and minimize creasing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your New Balance 880R trainers, it is essential to follow proper care protocols. Since the upper is constructed from suede, avoid machine washing or submerging the shoes in water, as this can damage the material texture.
- Cleaning: Use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt and dust after each wear.
- Stain Removal: For stubborn spots, use a dedicated suede eraser and apply light pressure.
- Moisture Protection: Apply a suede-safe water repellent spray before initial use to protect against light rain and environmental debris.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading and leather stiffening.
