FAQs
Are New Balance 580s true to size?
Yes, they generally fit true to size, providing a secure, stable fit consistent with the standard New Balance adult range.
What is the ROLLBAR system?
The ROLLBAR is a technology designed to reduce rearfoot movement, providing maximum stability and support for your foot.
Can I use these for running?
While the 580 has trail-inspired roots, it is categorized as a lifestyle trainer. It is better suited for walking and daily wear than high-intensity running.
How do I protect the grey suede upper?
It is recommended to apply a suede-specific water and stain repellent spray before the first wear to protect against the elements.
Is the midsole removable?
The trainers feature a standard removable insole; however, the primary cushioning (ABZORB and C-CAP) is integrated into the midsole construction.
Troubleshooting
Feeling of stiffness in the arch
This is often due to the stability-focused build. Ensure your laces are not overtightened across the midfoot to allow the shoe to flex naturally.
Creasing on the midsole
Compression lines are normal for EVA-based midsoles. Use a shoe tree when not in use to help the shoe maintain its shape.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 580 trainers remain in top condition, follow these guidelines:
- Break-in Period: While comfortable out of the box, the structured nature of the ROLLBAR may require a few days of wear for the materials to adapt fully to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt from the suede and mesh upper. For deeper stains on the midsole, use a damp cloth with mild soap.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry area away from direct sunlight to prevent material degradation or color fading.
- Moisture: Avoid submerging the shoes in water; if they become wet, air dry them naturally away from heat sources like radiators to prevent the adhesive from weakening.
