FAQs
Are the New Balance T500 trainers suitable for running marathons?
No, the T500 trainers are designed for leisure running and casual wear, not for competitive or long-distance marathon running. They prioritize comfort and classic style over advanced performance features.
How do I clean the suede and nubuck parts of the trainers?
Use a specialized suede brush to remove dirt and restore the texture. For tougher stains, a damp cloth with a mild cleaning solution can be used sparingly, followed by air drying. Always test cleaning solutions on an inconspicuous area first.
What material is the sole made of?
The product information indicates a durable outsole suitable for various surfaces, typical for trainers of this type, often made of rubber.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
While the leather offers some protection, it is not fully waterproof. It is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain. Applying a waterproofing spray specifically for suede and nubuck can offer some protection.
How do I choose the right size?
Refer to the size guide provided by the retailer or manufacturer. These trainers are listed in UK adult male sizing. Ensure a snug but comfortable fit without excessive pressure points.
What is the main difference between the original T500 and this new version?
The original T500 was designed for track running. The new version is adapted for leisure and everyday wear, retaining its classic aesthetic while focusing on comfort and style for non-competitive use.
Troubleshooting
Squeaking noise from shoes
This can sometimes occur with new leather or suede shoes. Try walking on different surfaces or slightly loosening the laces. If persistent, consult a shoe care specialist.
Water spots on suede/nubuck
Allow the shoes to dry naturally. Once dry, use a suede brush to restore the nap. Applying a protector spray beforehand can help prevent this.
Laces becoming worn
Replace laces with new ones of a similar length and material to maintain the shoe's aesthetic and fit.
