FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for long-distance running?
While these provide comfort and support, they are generally optimized for everyday use and light activity; dedicated performance runners may prefer specialized technical models.
How do I clean the suede upper?
Use a dry, soft brush for surface dirt and a professional suede eraser for localized spots. Avoid submerging the shoes in water.
Is the material water-resistant?
Suede is naturally porous. It is recommended to use a protective spray to increase water resistance, but they should be kept away from heavy rain or puddles.
Do these trainers fit true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard sizing; however, since they are made of suede, they have less stretch than mesh, so ensure you have the correct size for your foot shape.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the suede material and weaken the structural adhesives. Clean by hand only.
Are the insoles removable?
Yes, the internal liners are typically removable, allowing you to insert custom orthotics if required.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks dull or matted
Use a soft-bristled suede brush to gently restore the nap of the material.
Surface stains appearing on the suede
Use a designated suede eraser to gently lift the stain without applying water.
Shoes feeling too tight
Loosen the lacing system completely and re-lace to distribute tension more evenly across the midfoot.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 880s last, proper care is essential. Use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt and debris after each wear. If the shoes become damp, air-dry them naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can cause the suede to stiffen or shrink. To maintain the material's integrity, apply a dedicated suede water-repellent spray before initial use. When sizing, ensure your foot is measured correctly to match the UK 10.5 fit, as the structured nature of the suede upper offers less stretch than mesh trainers.
