FAQs
Is the New Balance 580 good for running?
While the 580 has athletic roots, it is designed primarily as a lifestyle trainer for casual, everyday wear rather than high-performance running.
How should I clean the Raincloud grey suede?
Use a soft brush to remove dust. For tougher stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner and a white cloth, dabbing rather than rubbing.
Does this model fit true to size?
The New Balance 580 generally fits true to size for most adults, though those with wider feet may prefer to try them on to ensure a comfortable fit.
Are these shoes water-resistant?
No, the mesh and suede construction makes them permeable. It is recommended to apply a water-repellent spray for minor protection against light drizzle.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the insoles are removable and can be replaced with custom orthotics or third-party insoles if desired.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt on suede upper
Use a dry, soft-bristled brush or a dedicated suede eraser to gently buff away the stains in one direction.
Creasing in the toe box area
Use shoe trees when not wearing to help the shoe maintain its shape and minimize deep creases in the material.
Odors after frequent wear
Remove the insoles to air them out separately and use a deodorizing spray specifically formulated for athletic footwear.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your New Balance 580s, proper maintenance is essential. As these trainers feature suede elements, avoid exposing them to heavy rain or muddy conditions. If they become dirty, use a specialized suede brush to gently remove surface debris. Avoid machine washing, as the agitation and heat can damage the structure and adhesive bonds of the shoe. For storage, keep them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the grey colour from fading over time.
