FAQs

Do these shoes run true to size?

No, the New Balance 480 series tends to run small, so it is recommended to size up by half a size.

Can I use these for professional skateboarding?

Yes, they feature a reinforced toe cap and durable materials specifically designed to handle the rigors of skateboarding.

How should I clean the black suede?

Use a dry, soft-bristled brush to remove dirt. Do not machine wash or submerge in water.

What is the primary benefit of the Abzorb insole?

The Abzorb insole provides advanced shock absorption and impact protection, which is essential for skating or high-impact activities.

Are these shoes suitable for everyday walking?

Yes, the inclusion of the FuelCell midsole makes them very comfortable for all-day wear and casual walking.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight during first use

The 480 model runs small; consider wearing thinner socks initially or swapping for a half-size larger pair.

Surface dirt on suede

Gently brush the suede in one direction with a soft-bristle brush once the dirt has dried.

Insole feels worn after heavy use

Replace the removable Abzorb insole with an aftermarket athletic insole if you require additional support.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable suede construction withstands heavy daily use
  • Excellent impact protection thanks to the Abzorb insole
  • Versatile design transitions easily from the skate park to lifestyle wear
  • Responsive cushioning provided by the FuelCell midsole

Cons

  • Sizing runs small, necessitating a half-size increase
  • Suede material requires careful cleaning to maintain appearance
  • Limited to specific colourway aesthetics

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Because the New Balance 480 runs small, we recommend sizing up by half a size from your standard UK shoe size to ensure a proper fit. For long-term care, keep the suede clean by using a soft-bristled brush to gently remove dirt and debris. Avoid soaking the shoes in water, as this can damage the suede texture and compromise the materials. For stubborn stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner or a white eraser for light surface marks. Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading.
