FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for running?

The New Balance 480 Trainers are designed primarily for casual wear and everyday comfort. They are not optimized for high-impact activities like running, which require specialized athletic footwear.

How do I determine my correct size?

It is recommended to measure your foot length and compare it with the New Balance sizing chart. Trying the shoes on in person is the best way to ensure a comfortable and accurate fit.

Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the suede, leather, and adhesives. Hand cleaning using the methods described in the care section is advised.

What is the difference between suede and leather versions?

The product description specifies a suede and leather design. Suede offers a softer, textured finish, while leather typically provides more durability and water resistance. Both contribute to the shoe's aesthetic and longevity when properly cared for.

Are these trainers good for wide feet?

The product information does not specify width options. It is best to check individual product listings or try them on to determine if the standard fit accommodates wide feet comfortably.

How durable are the New Balance 480 Trainers?

Constructed with suede and leather, these trainers are designed for durability in casual use. Regular care and maintenance will help extend their lifespan.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dirty or stained

Use a suede brush to remove surface dirt. For stubborn stains, use a specialized suede cleaner following product instructions, and test on an inconspicuous area first. Allow to air dry.

Shoe feels too tight

Ensure you have the correct size. If slightly tight, wearing thin socks and walking around indoors may help them stretch slightly. For significant tightness, consider exchanging for a larger size.

Laces fraying or breaking

Replace laces with a new pair of standard shoelaces. Ensure the length is appropriate for the number of eyelets on the trainers.

Color transfer onto socks

This can occur with new, dark-colored footwear, especially when wet. It typically reduces over time. Ensure the shoes are fully dry before wearing and consider wearing darker socks initially.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: The New Balance 480 Trainers are designed as unisex footwear and are compatible with a wide range of casual attire. They are suitable for adult foot sizes.

Care:

  1. Cleaning Suede: Use a soft brush to remove dry dirt. For stains, a specialized suede cleaner and a damp cloth can be used sparingly. Avoid soaking the suede.
  2. Cleaning Leather: Wipe clean with a damp cloth. For tougher marks, use a mild soap solution and a soft cloth, then wipe with a clean damp cloth.
  3. Drying: Air dry naturally away from direct heat sources. Stuffing with paper can help maintain shape and absorb moisture.
  4. Protection: Consider using a suede and leather protector spray to help guard against water and stains, especially in wet conditions.
