Troubleshooting

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 480s last, it is recommended to keep them away from harsh cleaning chemicals. Clean them using a soft, damp cloth for the upper and a brush for the outsole to remove debris. If the shoes get wet, air-dry them at room temperature; do not place them on or near a heater, as heat can deform the materials. Check your specific UK size for the best fit, as the 480 series follows standard New Balance sizing.
