FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running or intense sports?
The New Balance 480 trainers are designed primarily as lifestyle sneakers. While they offer comfort and support for everyday wear, they are not specialized for high-impact athletic activities like running or court sports.
How do I ensure I'm buying an authentic pair?
This product is guaranteed to be 100% authentic and genuine, sold by a trusted online footwear retailer with over 10 years of experience. It comes new and in original packaging.
What is the main benefit of the Ortholite insoles?
Ortholite insoles provide long-lasting wearability with excellent cushioning and moisture control, helping to keep your feet comfortable and dry throughout the day.
How should I clean my New Balance 480 trainers?
Clean with a soft brush or slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals. Allow to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
What does the 'White Timberwolf' colorway refer to?
This refers to the specific color scheme of the trainers, featuring a predominantly white base with accents of 'Timberwolf,' which is typically a shade of grey or green, as indicated by the 'Green' secondary color in the product details.
Is this shoe suitable for wide feet?
The product information does not specify width options. Standard fit is assumed. If you have particularly wide feet, it is recommended to try them on or consult sizing guides for potential width indicators.
What is the return policy if the size is incorrect?
Please refer to the specific retailer's return policy for information on exchanges or returns due to incorrect sizing. This guide focuses on product usage and care.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you have selected the correct size. New shoes may require a break-in period; wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time. Consider if thicker socks are being used, which might affect fit.
Traction feels poor on certain surfaces
Check the outsole for embedded debris. Clean the rubber sole with a damp cloth. The tread pattern is designed for general traction; performance may vary on extremely slick or uneven surfaces.
Insoles are not staying dry
While Ortholite insoles offer moisture control, extreme conditions may still lead to dampness. Ensure shoes are aired out after use and consider removing insoles to dry separately if persistent dampness is an issue.
Color transfer from shoes to socks
Some dye transfer can occur, especially with darker colors or when the shoes are new and wet. This is more common with certain materials. Once the shoes have been worn and dried, this usually diminishes. Avoid prolonged exposure to moisture.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: For general cleaning, use a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth to wipe away dirt and dust. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can damage the materials.
- Insoles: The Ortholite insoles can typically be removed for separate cleaning or airing out. Hand wash with mild soap and water if necessary, and ensure they are completely dry before reinserting.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use. Using a shoe tree can help maintain their shape.
