FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for basketball?

While the 480P draws inspiration from vintage basketball designs, they are primarily lifestyle sneakers and do not contain the specialized technical support for competitive play.

How do I clean the white parts of the shoe?

Use a soft cloth and a mild soap-and-water solution for the non-suede parts, ensuring you wipe away excess moisture immediately.

Are these true to size?

Generally, New Balance trainers fit true to size, but we recommend referencing the specific UK sizing guide provided before purchase.

Can I put these in the washing machine?

No, machine washing can damage the suede materials and compromise the adhesive bonds; always clean by hand.

Is the material waterproof?

The mesh and suede materials are not waterproof; we recommend applying a suede-safe protective spray if you intend to wear them in damp conditions.

Does this model come in different widths?

The standard 480P series typically comes in a standard width; check your specific MPN for confirmation.

Troubleshooting

Visible dirt on suede surfaces

Use a dry suede brush or eraser to gently lift the debris without scrubbing too hard.

Creasing in the toe box area

This is a natural occurrence in leather and suede footwear; use a shoe tree when not wearing them to maintain the shape.

Sole losing grip

Wipe the outsole with a damp cloth to remove accumulated grit or debris that may reduce traction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To keep your New Balance 480P trainers in top condition, follow these simple care steps:

  1. Routine Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove surface dust from the suede and mesh regularly.
  2. Stain Treatment: For minor spots on the suede, use a specialized suede eraser or a soft cloth dampened with a very mild cleaning solution; avoid soaking the material.
  3. Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the colours from fading.
  4. Maintenance: If the shoes get wet, let them air dry naturally away from artificial heat sources like radiators, which can warp or crack the leather components.
