Setup, Compatibility & Care
Getting the most out of your New Balance 480 trainers requires proper sizing and maintenance. Ensure you measure the child's feet regularly, as growing feet may shift sizing requirements between the 10 to 2.5 UK size ranges offered in this series. For care, avoid submerging the shoes in water. For synthetic models, use a soft brush to remove surface dust. If your pair is leather, use a damp cloth to wipe away debris and apply a leather-safe cleaner occasionally to prevent cracking. Always air-dry the shoes away from direct heat sources to preserve the integrity of the adhesive and materials.
