Troubleshooting
Laces coming undone frequently
Double-knot the laces or replace them with higher-friction athletic laces.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your New Balance 480 trainers, keep the following tips in mind:
- Fit: Ensure the laces are tightened properly to provide a secure fit without restricting circulation.
- Cleaning: Wipe the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth after each use to prevent dirt buildup. Avoid soaking the shoes in water, as this can damage the leather finish.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent colour fading.
- Conditioning: Periodically use a gentle leather cleaner or conditioner to keep the material supple and prevent cracking.
