FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
No, the New Balance 480 is designed for lifestyle and casual everyday wear, not for athletic running.
Do these sneakers fit true to size?
Yes, they generally fit true to your standard UK size, though personal preference for sock thickness may require minor adjustments.
How do I clean the white leather?
Clean using a slightly damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap, then allow them to air dry away from direct sunlight.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the insoles are removable, allowing you to swap them for your own custom orthotics if needed.
Is the leather upper waterproof?
The leather is water-resistant, but it is not fully waterproof. It is best to avoid heavy rain or snow to prevent leather damage.
What is the primary material used?
The New Balance 480 features a durable leather upper for a classic, high-quality finish.
Troubleshooting
Creasing in the leather toe box
This is a normal characteristic of leather footwear; using shoe trees after wearing helps to retain shape and minimize deep creases.
Surface stains on the white leather
Gently wipe the affected area with a soft cloth and a leather-safe cleaning solution. Avoid harsh chemicals that may strip the finish.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 480 trainers remain in top condition, proper care is essential. Since these are made from leather, avoid submerging them in water. Use a soft-bristled brush to remove loose dirt and a damp cloth with mild soap for surface cleaning. To maintain their shape, use shoe trees when not in use. For compatibility, these trainers generally run true to size, though it is recommended to wear them with mid-weight cotton socks to ensure the best fit during the initial break-in period.
