FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
The New Balance 480 Trainers are designed primarily for casual wear and light activity. They do not offer the specialized cushioning or support required for serious running.
How do I determine my size?
Refer to the sizing chart provided by the retailer or New Balance. Measure your foot length and compare it to the UK sizing guide. These are unisex, so consider that in your sizing.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
While the leather offers some protection, these trainers are not waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to preserve their material and appearance.
What is the primary material of the shoe?
The trainers are primarily made of cow leather (71%), with mesh (8%) and synthetic (21%) materials incorporated into the design.
How should I store these trainers when not in use?
Store them in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape and prevent creasing.
Are there other color options available?
This guide focuses on the White/Black colorway. Availability of other colors may vary by retailer and season.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Wear them with thicker socks for a short period, or consider using a shoe stretcher. Ensure you have selected the correct size.
Leather creases excessively
This is natural with leather. Ensure proper fit to minimize excessive creasing. Use shoe trees when not in use to help maintain shape.
Difficulty cleaning specific marks
For leather, use a dedicated leather cleaner. For mesh or synthetic parts, a mild soap and water solution on a cloth can be effective. Always test cleaning solutions on a small, hidden area first.
