FAQs
Are these shoes machine washable?
No, it is recommended to clean them manually with a damp cloth and mild soap to preserve the leather.
Is the leather upper water-resistant?
While leather provides some natural protection against light moisture, these are not waterproof shoes.
Are these suitable for sports?
While they feature basketball-inspired design, they are intended for lifestyle and casual wear rather than competitive athletic performance.
How do I ensure the correct size?
New Balance sizing is generally consistent; we recommend measuring the foot with a standard Brannock device or sizing chart provided by the retailer.
Can I use an aftermarket insole?
Yes, if you require specific arch support, you can remove the existing insole and replace it with a thin orthotic insert.
Troubleshooting
Laces coming undone frequently
Consider double-knotting the laces or replacing them with a different texture if they are slippery.
Surface dirt on the white segments
Use a specialized leather cleaner or a gentle magic eraser on the white areas, avoiding the beige sections to prevent streaking.
Stiff fit during first wear
Leather shoes often require a short break-in period; wear them for shorter durations indoors initially to soften the material.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your New Balance 480 trainers, keep the following tips in mind: Always loosen the laces fully before taking the shoes on or off to prevent stressing the heel counter. For cleaning, use a soft, damp cloth with mild soap to wipe away surface dirt from the leather upper. Avoid machine washing or drying, as this can damage the structural integrity of the materials. When not in use, store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent colour fading.
