FAQs
Are the New Balance 880R trainers water-resistant?
They are not inherently water-resistant due to the suede material. We recommend applying a protective suede spray.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
No. Machine washing can damage the structure and ruin the suede material. Use manual cleaning methods only.
Are these suitable for heavy running?
While based on running technology, they are primarily lifestyle trainers intended for daily wear and light activity.
What is the primary material of the upper?
The upper is constructed from high-quality suede for both style and comfort.
Are these trainers gender-specific?
The 880R is designed as a unisex model, offering a versatile fit for all adult wearers.
How do I maintain the grey colour?
Store them out of direct sunlight and use a suede-safe cleaner to keep the texture and colour looking fresh.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt marks on suede upper
Use a specialized suede brush to gently lift dirt, then follow with a suede eraser for remaining marks.
Shoes feel tight after a long day
Ensure your laces are not tied too tightly across the bridge of the foot; loosen them slightly to accommodate natural foot swelling.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 880R trainers remain in top condition, follow these guidelines:
- Sizing: These shoes are standard adult sizing; verify your UK foot size before purchase as fit can vary by individual arch preference.
- Moisture Protection: Before wearing your new trainers outdoors, apply a water-repellent spray specifically designed for suede to prevent light water damage and dirt absorption.
- Cleaning: Never submerge suede in water. Use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove dry dirt. For scuffs, use a dedicated suede eraser.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the grey colour from fading over time.
