FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running marathons?
The New Balance 480 trainers are designed for versatility, offering comfort and support for everyday wear and light athletic activities. For serious marathon running, specialized running shoes with advanced cushioning and support features are recommended.
How do I determine the right size?
It is recommended to refer to the New Balance size guide and measure your foot length. Trying the shoes on in-store if possible is the most accurate method for ensuring a proper fit.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
Machine washing is not recommended for suede and leather trainers as it can damage the materials and affect the shoe's structure and appearance.
What is the primary material used?
These trainers feature a combination of suede and leather for the upper, providing a classic look and feel.
Are these shoes waterproof?
The trainers are not inherently waterproof. While suede protector sprays can offer some water resistance, they are not designed for use in wet conditions.
What is the warranty period for New Balance shoes?
Warranty information can vary. Please refer to the official New Balance website or the retailer's policy for specific warranty details applicable to your purchase.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dirty or stained.
Use a suede brush or eraser specifically designed for suede care. For stubborn stains, consult specialized suede cleaning products.
Laces are worn out.
Replace laces with standard trainer laces. Ensure the new laces are of a similar length and material for optimal fit and appearance.
Shoe feels slightly tight.
Wear the shoes with thinner socks initially. Over time, the shoes may stretch slightly with wear. If discomfort persists, consider alternative lacing techniques or professional stretching if available.
