FAQs
What kind of activities are these shoes best for?
The New Balance 480 is designed for versatility, perfect for basketball, playground activities, and comfortable everyday wear for active kids.
Is this shoe suitable for wide feet?
Info needed: Specific width options are not provided with this product information. It's recommended to have the child try the shoe on or consult a general New Balance sizing guide for the best fit.
How durable is the leather?
The leather upper is chosen for its durability and resilience, offering good resistance to wear and tear for active kids during various activities.
Can these shoes be machine washed?
No, machine washing is not recommended for leather shoes as it can damage the material, alter the shoe's structure, and potentially affect its longevity. Please refer to the care instructions for proper cleaning.
Are insoles removable?
Info needed: Whether the insoles are removable for custom orthotics or easier cleaning is not specified in the product details. Please check the product upon receipt.
Are they true to size?
New Balance typically aims for consistent sizing. However, shoe fit can vary. It's always best to measure your child's foot or have them try on the shoes to ensure the most accurate and comfortable fit, especially given children's rapid growth.
Troubleshooting
Shoe feels uncomfortable or rubs.
Ensure correct sizing; children's feet grow quickly. Try different sock types (e.g., thicker sports socks) for better cushioning. Break in the shoes gradually by wearing them for short periods before extended use.
Sole loses grip.
Clean the outsole regularly to remove accumulated dirt, dust, and debris that can reduce traction. Use a brush or damp cloth to scrub the grooves of the sole.
Leather looks dull or dirty.
Clean with a damp cloth and mild leather cleaner. Once dry, apply a leather conditioner specifically formulated for shoes to restore shine and keep the leather supple. Info needed: Consult specific New Balance leather care recommendations.
Laces constantly come untied.
Ensure you are using a double knot for added security during active play. Consider replacing standard laces with those designed for better grip or slightly longer ones if the existing laces are too short.

Care: For the leather upper, gently wipe with a damp cloth to remove dirt and surface grime. For tougher stains, use a mild leather cleaner specifically designed for footwear. Apply the cleaner sparingly according to its instructions. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally, away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as these can dry out and crack the leather. Info needed: Always refer to New Balance's specific care instructions for leather footwear to ensure proper maintenance and longevity.
