FAQs

Are the New Balance T500 suitable for running?

The T500 is a classic court-inspired casual shoe. While comfortable for walking and everyday wear, it is not specifically designed or recommended for high-impact activities like running due to its construction prioritizing style and traditional comfort over advanced athletic performance features.

How do I clean the suede parts of the trainers?

Use a specialized suede brush to gently remove dry dirt and restore the texture. For stains, a suede eraser or a dedicated suede cleaner can be used. Always test cleaning products on a small, inconspicuous area first.

What is the best way to maintain the leather upper?

Wipe the leather with a slightly damp cloth to remove dirt. For deeper cleaning or to restore shine, use a quality leather conditioner specifically made for footwear. Allow shoes to air dry naturally away from heat sources.

Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?

While the leather offers some protection, the suede accents are more susceptible to water damage and staining. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to preserve their appearance and material integrity.

How does the sizing compare to other New Balance models?

Sizing can vary slightly between New Balance models. It is recommended to consult the official New Balance size chart for the T500 series or try them on in-store if possible to ensure the best fit, as reported by users.

What does the 'T500' designation mean?

The 'T500' likely refers to a specific model or series designation within New Balance's historical shoe lines, indicating its origin as a court-style sneaker from the early 1980s.

Troubleshooting

Squeaking noise from shoes

This can sometimes occur with new leather or insoles. Try walking on different surfaces to see if it stops. If persistent, ensure laces are tied correctly and check if the insole is seated properly.

Leather appears dry or creased

Apply a small amount of leather conditioner designed for athletic footwear. Gently rub it into the leather and buff with a soft cloth. Avoid over-conditioning.

Suede looks matted or dirty

Use a dedicated suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For stubborn marks, a suede eraser can be effective.

Sizing feels slightly off

New Balance trainers can have varied fits. If the fit is too tight or loose, ensure you have tried them on with the type of socks you intend to wear. Consult the New Balance size chart for accurate measurements or consider insoles/thicker socks for minor adjustments.

Compatibility:

These trainers are designed for unisex adult wear and are compatible with a wide range of casual and smart-casual outfits. They are not designed for specific athletic disciplines.

Care:

  • Leather: Clean leather surfaces with a slightly damp cloth. For tougher dirt, use a specialized leather cleaner, testing on an inconspicuous area first.
  • Suede: Use a suede brush to remove dry dirt and restore the nap. For stains, consider a suede eraser or a professional cleaning service.
  • Laces: Remove laces and hand wash them separately with mild soap and water. Allow to air dry completely.
  • Sole: Wipe the rubber sole with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the material.
