FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While the 880R is inspired by retro running designs, it is best suited for lifestyle and everyday wear rather than long-distance athletic training.
How should I clean the suede?
Use a specialized suede brush or a dry, soft-bristled brush. Avoid water and standard soap, which can damage the material.
Is this a unisex shoe?
Yes, the 880R is designed as a unisex model to accommodate various foot widths and shapes comfortably.
What is ABZORB cushioning?
ABZORB is a proprietary New Balance technology that provides a blend of cushioning and compression resistance to absorb impact.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the suede material and the adhesive structures of the shoe.
Does the suede require protective spray?
It is highly recommended to apply a suede-specific protective spray to guard against moisture and dirt before you wear them outside.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dull or dirty
Use a soft suede brush in a circular motion to lift the nap and remove surface debris.
Water spots on suede
Let the shoes air dry naturally away from heat sources, then use a suede brush to restore the texture.
Feeling of decreased support
Check if the laces are tied appropriately; if the issue persists, the midsole may be reaching the end of its typical lifespan after extensive daily use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 880R trainers last, follow these guidelines:
- Suede Care: Use a dedicated suede brush to remove loose dirt and dust after each wear to prevent buildup.
- Moisture Protection: Apply a suede-safe water and stain repellent spray before first use, as the suede material is porous.
- Cleaning: Do not submerge the shoes in water or place them in a washing machine. Use a specialist suede cleaner and a damp cloth for spot cleaning.
- Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading.
- Sizing: These shoes follow standard adult UK sizing; if you typically wear a specific fit in New Balance, stay with your standard size.
