FAQs
Are New Balance 580 trainers true to size?
Yes, the New Balance 580 generally fits true to size for most adult users.
Can I use these for running?
While the 580 provides comfort for walking, it is primarily categorized as a lifestyle/casual trainer rather than a high-performance running shoe.
How do I maintain the grey suede/material?
Keep the material dry and use a suede-safe brush to maintain the nap; avoid using liquid cleaners unless they are specifically formulated for the material.
What is the primary difference between the 580 and other New Balance series?
The 580 is known for its distinct, chunky midsole and retro-technical silhouette, providing more structural support compared to the brand's flatter, minimalist models.
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The 580 series has a standard width, but the generous lacing system allows for some adjustment if you have slightly wider feet.
Troubleshooting
Foot feels tight or pressured
Loosen the lacing system significantly and re-adjust starting from the bottom eyelets to accommodate foot volume.
Upper material showing signs of dirt
Use a specialized sneaker cleaning foam and a soft brush; avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh detergents.
Squeaking sound while walking
Remove the insole, clean the area underneath, and ensure the insole is dry and properly aligned before re-inserting.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 580s remain in top condition, follow these guidelines:
- Sizing: Ensure you have selected your correct UK size, as the 580 series features a structured fit.
- Break-in Period: While comfortable out of the box, the supportive upper may feel slightly stiff during the first few wears; allow a day or two of light walking to break them in.
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristle brush to remove surface dust. For tougher stains, use a mild soap solution and a cloth, then air dry away from direct sunlight or heat sources.
- Storage: Keep your shoes in a cool, dry place and use shoe trees or paper stuffing to help them maintain their shape when not in use.
