FAQs
Are the New Balance 480 trainers suitable for running?
These trainers are lifestyle shoes inspired by court silhouettes and are not designed for high-impact running activities.
How do I clean the white portions of the shoe?
Use a specialized sneaker cleaner or a mild soap solution with a soft brush to spot-clean the white leather areas gently.
Does the 480 series come in different materials?
Yes, while the core design remains the same, variations often use leather or synthetic combinations as noted in the product specifications.
Are these shoes water-resistant?
While the leather upper offers some protection against light moisture, these shoes are not waterproof.
How should I store these trainers to prolong their life?
Keep them in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight and heat, which can cause the leather to crack over time.
Troubleshooting
Leather feels too stiff upon first wear
Wear the shoes for short periods indoors to allow the leather to naturally soften and contour to your foot shape.
Laces coming untied frequently
Ensure you are using a double knot or ensure the laces are pulled evenly through all eyelets for consistent tension.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For the best fit, ensure you select your correct UK sizing, as the 480 series is true to size but provides a structured fit due to the leather upper. To care for your trainers, wipe the leather surface with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh chemical cleaners, as these can damage the material integrity. For persistent stains, use a leather-specific cleaner. To maintain the shape, store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources.
