FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While based on running heritage, the 880R is primarily designed for daily lifestyle wear and walking rather than high-performance technical running.
Can I wash these in a washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the suede and the structural integrity of the shoe. Use hand-cleaning methods only.
Do these shoes fit true to size?
New Balance generally fits true to size, but individual preferences may vary. It is recommended to compare with your existing sneaker sizing.
How do I protect the grey suede?
Apply a suede-safe water and stain repellent spray regularly to create a protective barrier.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The standard construction provides a balanced fit, but the materials allow for a degree of natural flexibility over time.
What is the primary difference between the 880 and the 880R?
The 880R focuses on the retro, lifestyle-oriented version of the classic 880 platform, emphasizing style and comfort for everyday use.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks dull or matted
Use a specialized suede brush or a clean eraser to gently lift the nap of the material.
Stains on the suede
Use a dedicated suede cleaner and follow the manufacturer's instructions, ensuring the shoe dries naturally away from heat sources.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these trainers feature suede elements, it is highly recommended to apply a suede-specific water repellent spray before initial use. To clean, use a dry, soft-bristled brush to remove surface debris. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh detergents, as this can damage the suede texture and color. For storage, keep them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material fading.
