FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for basketball?
While the design is inspired by basketball court models, the 480 is intended for lifestyle and casual use rather than competitive sports.
How do I determine my size in this model?
These trainers are listed in UK sizes. Refer to the specific variant label to ensure you are selecting your correct size.
Is the insole removable?
The New Balance 480 features an extended insert that can generally be removed if you require your own custom orthotics.
Can these be machine washed?
No, machine washing can damage the leather and the adhesives used in the shoe construction. Always clean by hand.
Does the leather stretch over time?
Leather will naturally conform to the shape of your foot with wear, which should lead to a more comfortable fit over time.
Troubleshooting
Creasing in the leather toe box
This is a natural characteristic of leather footwear; using cedar shoe trees when not in use can help maintain the shape and minimize deep creases.
Slippery outsole on wet surfaces
Ensure the rubber soles are wiped clean of debris; if traction remains poor, avoid walking on extremely slick or polished surfaces.
Difficulty keeping the white leather clean
Apply a leather protector spray specifically designed for white trainers to create a water and stain-resistant barrier.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 480 trainers last, proper care is essential. Since the upper is constructed from leather, avoid submerging them in water. Instead, use a damp cloth and a mild soap to wipe away surface dirt after use. For tougher scuffs on the white leather, a specialized leather cleaner is recommended. Store the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the leather from cracking or the white finish from yellowing. If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can warp the material.
