Full details

Featuring a durable leather upper and responsive OrthoLite cushioning, this trainer offers excellent stability for casual use, though it is primarily designed as a lifestyle shoe rather than a high-performance court sneaker.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for basketball?
While the 480 is inspired by basketball heritage, it is designed as a lifestyle sneaker and lacks the advanced technical features required for competitive court play.
How do I clean the white leather?
Use a mild soap and water solution on a soft cloth to gently clean the surface. Follow with a leather conditioner to keep the material supple.
Does the sizing run large or small?
The New Balance 480 generally fits true to standard UK sizing for adults.
Are these sneakers waterproof?
No, they are made of leather and are not categorized as waterproof. We recommend applying a leather protectant spray if you live in a rainy climate.
Can I remove the insoles?
Yes, the OrthoLite insoles are removable, which makes cleaning easier and allows for custom inserts.
Troubleshooting
Leather showing creases
Creasing is a natural characteristic of genuine leather; use cedar shoe trees when not wearing to help maintain shape.
Dirt stuck in perforations
Use a soft-bristled brush to gently dislodge debris from the toe box perforations.
Insoles losing comfort
The OrthoLite inserts are removable; they can be replaced with aftermarket orthotics if additional arch support is needed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these are leather trainers, proper care is essential to maintain their aesthetic. To ensure the longest lifespan: 1. Wipe down the leather exterior with a damp cloth to remove surface dirt. 2. Avoid soaking the shoes or machine washing them, as this can degrade the leather and adhesive. 3. Use a leather-safe cleaner for deep stains. 4. Allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources to prevent cracking. These shoes generally fit true to size, but we recommend pairing them with mid-weight socks for optimal comfort.
