FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running marathons?
The New Balance 480P trainers are designed for casual wear and light athletic activities. They are not specifically engineered for high-performance long-distance running like marathon training.
How do I clean the brown suede parts?
Gently brush away loose dirt with a suede brush. For stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and a slightly damp cloth. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
While the leather offers some protection, suede is not waterproof and can be damaged by excessive moisture. It's best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain. Consider using a water-repellent spray for added protection.
What is the primary material used in these trainers?
These trainers feature a combination of suede and leather on the upper.
Do these trainers come in other colors?
This specific product guide refers to the Brown/White colorway. Please check product listings for availability of other colors.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe. The heel should feel secure without slipping, and the width should not feel too tight or too loose.
Can the insoles be removed?
In many New Balance trainers, insoles can be removed. However, for specific models like the 480P, it's best to gently try to lift the existing insole. If it seems glued, it is not intended for removal.
Troubleshooting
Initial stiffness or discomfort
Wear the trainers around the house for short periods to allow them to break in. Adjust lacing to relieve pressure points.
Suede material looks dull or dirty
Use a suede brush to restore the nap. For stubborn marks, use a dedicated suede cleaner following product instructions. Protect with a suede protector spray.
Laces coming undone easily
Ensure laces are tied securely with a double knot. Consider replacing laces with a different material or texture that holds knots better.
Slight color transfer onto socks
This can happen with new, dark-colored footwear. It's recommended to wear darker socks initially. The issue often reduces with wear and proper care.

Care:
