FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
No, the New Balance T500 trainers are designed for casual wear and everyday comfort, not for high-impact athletic activities like running.
How should I clean the white leather parts?
Wipe the leather with a damp cloth. For more persistent dirt, use a mild soap solution or a dedicated leather cleaner, then wipe clean and air dry.
Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers, as it can damage the leather, suede, and adhesives. Hand cleaning is the preferred method.
What is the main difference between the leather and suede sections?
The leather provides a smooth, durable outer layer, while the suede offers a softer, textured finish, both contributing to the shoe's premium look and feel.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Refer to New Balance's sizing chart for UK measurements. It is recommended to try them on if possible, as fit can vary.
What kind of socks work best with these trainers?
These trainers are versatile and can be worn with most types of casual socks, from thin ankle socks to thicker crew socks, depending on personal preference and weather.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel tight
Wear them with thin socks initially and allow them to break in. Consider using thicker socks for a snugger feel once broken in.
Suede is dirty or matted
Use a suede brush to gently lift the nap. For stubborn marks, use a specialized suede eraser or cleaner.
Leather has scuffs
Use a white shoe polish or a leather cleaner with a soft cloth to buff out minor scuffs. For deeper marks, consult a professional.
Tongue slips to one side
Ensure the laces are threaded through the tongue's lace loop, if available, or lace them tighter to secure the tongue's position.
