Troubleshooting

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your New Balance 480 trainers, consider the following care instructions: Avoid submerging the suede in water, as this can damage the texture and color. Use a soft-bristled brush to remove surface dirt after use. If deeper cleaning is necessary, use a dedicated suede cleaner and a suede-specific brush to restore the nap. For storage, keep the shoes in a cool, dry environment away from direct sunlight to prevent material fading. Ensure you choose the correct UK sizing to maintain proper support and avoid excessive friction.
