Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 480 trainers maintain their appearance, regular care is recommended. Since these are constructed with leather, use a soft, dry brush to remove loose dirt after each use. For tougher stains, dampen a clean cloth with mild soap and water to gently wipe the affected area. Avoid machine washing or drying, as this can degrade the leather and structural adhesives. To maintain the shape of the shoe, store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
