FAQs
Is the New Balance 580 suitable for running?
While the 580 is based on a classic athletic design, it is primarily intended for lifestyle and casual wear rather than high-performance running.
How do I choose the right size for the 580 series?
The New Balance 580 generally fits true to size, but if you have wider feet, you may consider trying a half-size up to ensure adequate room.
What material is the upper made of?
The 580 series typically uses a combination of mesh and synthetic overlays to provide a mix of breathability and structural support.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the insoles are removable, allowing you to replace them with custom orthotics if required.
Does the Raincloud color fade easily?
Like most grey suede or fabric trainers, it should be kept away from excessive direct sunlight to prevent premature color fading.
Troubleshooting
Creasing in the toe box area
Use a shoe tree when not in use to help the sneaker maintain its original shape.
Difficulty cleaning surface stains
Use a specialized sneaker cleaning foam or a dedicated suede eraser for light markings.
Laces becoming undone
Ensure they are tightened evenly from the bottom up; double-knotting is recommended if the fit feels loose.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 580 sneakers remain in good condition, proper care is essential. Since the upper materials can absorb liquids, we recommend applying a suede or fabric protector spray before wearing them outdoors for the first time. For regular cleaning, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt. Avoid machine washing, as this can degrade the adhesives and material texture. For deeper stains, use a mild, ph-neutral soap solution with a damp cloth, gently dabbing the area rather than soaking it. Always allow the shoes to air dry at room temperature away from direct heat sources to prevent material warping.
