Product Information

Full details

The New Balance 480 Trainers in White/Black are designed for adults seeking a blend of timeless style, all-day comfort, and versatile performance. Inspired by classic basketball shoes, these trainers offer a clean aesthetic suitable for both casual wear and light athletic activities. The primary benefit is their combination of durable leather uppers, supportive Ortholite cushioning, and a reliable grip sole. A potential caveat to consider is that while comfortable for general wear, they may not provide the specialized support needed for high-impact sports.

FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for running long distances?

While the Ortholite cushioning provides good comfort, the New Balance 480 Trainers are primarily designed for casual wear and light athletic activities. For long-distance running, specialized running shoes with advanced support and cushioning are recommended.

How do I determine my correct UK size?

Refer to the sizing chart provided by New Balance or compare with a measuring tape. The UK size listed (e.g., UK 7) corresponds to a specific foot length measurement.

Can these trainers be worn in wet conditions?

The leather upper offers some protection, but they are not waterproof. Avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain or puddles. Ensure they are dried thoroughly if they get wet.

What is the benefit of the Ortholite insert?

The Ortholite insert provides superior cushioning, breathability, and moisture management, contributing to long-lasting comfort and a fresher feel inside the shoe.

Are these trainers true to size?

Most users find them to be true to size, but fit can vary slightly between individuals. It's always best to try them on if possible or consult customer reviews for specific feedback on sizing.

What material is the sole made of?

The sole is typically made of rubber, designed to provide excellent traction and durability.

Troubleshooting

Squeaking sound from shoes

This can sometimes occur due to the tongue rubbing against the inside. Try adjusting the tongue or applying a small amount of talcum powder or anti-chafing balm where the squeak originates.

Discomfort after initial wear

New leather shoes often require a break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase the duration. Ensure the lacing is adjusted correctly for your foot shape.

Traction seems reduced

Clean the outsole thoroughly with a brush to remove any dirt, dust, or debris that might be hindering grip.
