FAQs

What is the primary purpose of the New Balance 480 Sneaker?

The primary purpose is for casual wear, offering a blend of style inspired by basketball heritage and everyday comfort and stability.

Are these shoes suitable for playing basketball?

While inspired by basketball shoes, they are best suited for casual wear and light activities. They are not designed for high-performance basketball play.

What is the material of the shoe?

The upper is primarily made of leather, providing durability and a classic look. The outsole is made of durable rubber.

How should I clean my New Balance 480 Sneakers?

Clean with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. For leather, use a specific leather cleaner. Allow them to air dry away from heat.

What does the extended insert and heel counter do?

These features are designed to provide enhanced stability and support to your foot, particularly in the heel and midfoot area.

Can I wear these with orthotics?

The shoe offers a standard fit. Depending on the size and shape of your orthotics, they may fit inside, but it's recommended to try them on with your orthotics if possible.

What is the sizing like?

The sizing is in UK adult standard. It is advisable to measure your foot and consult a size chart, or try them on in person, as fit can vary.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Allow for a break-in period. Wearing them for short durations initially can help them mold to your feet. Ensure you have selected the correct size based on your foot measurement.

Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces

The rubber outsole provides traction, but performance can vary on extremely smooth or wet surfaces. Ensure the soles are clean of debris.

Leather shows scuffs or marks

Use a suitable leather cleaner and a soft cloth to gently remove marks. For minor scuffs, a bit of shoe polish can help restore the finish.

Care:
