FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
The New Balance 880R generally fits true to size, but as with all footwear, consider trying them on with the socks you intend to wear most frequently.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, washing machines can damage the suede material and affect the structural integrity of the shoe. Always hand clean using appropriate products.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The 880R features a standard width profile; individuals with wider feet may find the fit snug due to the suede construction.
Can I use these for jogging?
While they feature running-inspired technology, they are primarily designed for lifestyle and casual use. Dedicated running shoes are recommended for frequent jogging.
What is the best way to store these long-term?
Use a shoe tree to maintain the shape of the upper and keep them in a ventilated bag to protect the suede from dust.
How do I remove salt stains from winter roads?
Use a mixture of water and a tiny drop of mild dish soap on a cloth, wipe gently, and ensure they dry slowly away from direct heat.
Troubleshooting
Visible water spots on suede
Lightly brush the affected area with a suede brush and allow it to air dry naturally away from heat sources.
Footbed feels less comfortable over time
Remove the factory insole and replace it with an aftermarket comfort insole to refresh the internal cushioning.
Suede looks matted or flat
Use a specialized suede brush to lift the nap of the material in a circular motion.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your New Balance 880R trainers, keep the following care tips in mind:
- Protective Treatment: Apply a suede-safe water and stain repellent spray before the first wear.
- Routine Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove surface dust and debris after each wear.
- Spot Cleaning: Address stains immediately using a specialized suede eraser or a cloth lightly dampened with a dedicated suede cleaner.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the suede from fading or drying out.
- Avoid Moisture: Try to avoid wearing these shoes in heavy rain, as water can compromise the texture of the suede material.
