FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for sports?
The New Balance 480 Trainers are designed primarily for casual wear and everyday comfort. While they offer good support for walking and light activities, they are not optimized for high-impact sports.
How do I determine the correct size for a unisex trainer?
It is recommended to consult the New Balance official sizing chart, which usually provides conversions for men's and women's measurements. Measuring your foot length and width is the most accurate method.
Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?
No, machine washing is not recommended. The material, especially the leather, can be damaged by the washing machine. Clean them by wiping with a damp cloth as per the care instructions.
What is the primary material of these trainers?
The trainers feature a primary upper material of cow leather (71%), complemented by mesh (8%) and synthetic elements (21%).
How should I clean the leather parts of the trainers?
Use a slightly damp cloth to wipe away dirt. For more persistent stains, a specialized leather cleaner can be used, but always test on a small, hidden area first.
What does 'inspired by original game-day silhouettes' mean?
This means the design takes cues from the appearance and style of athletic shoes that were popular and used during actual sports games in the past.
Troubleshooting
Sizing feels incorrect
Refer to the New Balance sizing chart and compare with your current footwear. Consider trying on a pair in-store if possible, as unisex sizing can vary. Ensure you are measuring your foot correctly.
Leather creasing
Some creasing is natural with leather. To minimize, ensure a proper fit and avoid over-tightening laces. Using shoe trees can help maintain shape when not in use.
Discoloration on leather
Wipe gently with a damp cloth. For stubborn marks, use a leather-specific cleaner sparingly. Test any cleaner on an inconspicuous area first.
Mesh area feels tight
The mesh is designed for breathability. If it feels tight, ensure the shoe is not too narrow for your foot. Gentle stretching exercises or wearing thicker socks might help slightly.
