FAQs
Are the New Balance 480 shoes true to size?
Yes, they are designed as a regular fit and generally correspond to standard UK footwear sizing.
Can I use these for playing basketball?
While they feature classic basketball-inspired aesthetics, they are intended for everyday lifestyle wear rather than high-performance court sports.
What is the best way to keep the white leather looking clean?
Wipe them down after every few wears with a damp cloth to prevent dirt from settling into the grain of the leather.
Do these shoes provide good arch support?
They include an extended insert that provides a stable base, which offers more support than basic flat sneakers.
Can the insoles be removed?
The shoes feature an extended insert, but they are generally intended to be used with the stock configuration for optimal stability.
Are these shoes suitable for all-day wear?
Yes, the padded collar and durable construction make them suitable for all-day wear for most users.
Troubleshooting
Stiffness when new
Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow the leather to soften and conform to your foot shape.
Surface dirt on white leather
Gently wipe the affected areas with a damp cloth; for tougher scuffs, a specialized leather cleaner may be used.
Laces coming undone
Ensure a double knot is used if the laces are stiff from the factory; they will become more pliable after a few wears.

Compatibility:
- These shoes feature a regular fit, generally aligning with standard UK sizing conventions for men.
Care Instructions:
- To maintain the appearance of the white leather, clean the surface regularly with a soft, damp cloth.
- Avoid machine washing or submerging the shoes, as this can degrade the leather and the adhesives used in the sole.
- If the shoes get wet, air dry them naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can cause the leather to crack.
