Product Information
Full details
The New Balance 480 trainers in Cortado/Sea Salt are designed for adults seeking a blend of classic basketball heritage and everyday wearability. Their key benefit lies in their durable construction and timeless design, offering reliable traction and lasting support. A potential caveat is that while inspired by game day footwear, they are best suited for casual use rather than professional athletic performance. These trainers feature a clean silhouette, a robust rubber cup outsole, and a comfortable leather upper with suede overlays, making them a versatile addition to any wardrobe.

FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
The New Balance 480 trainers are inspired by basketball heritage and are designed for casual wear and everyday comfort, not for rigorous athletic activities like running.
How do I determine the correct size?
Refer to the size chart provided by New Balance for accurate measurements. Ensure a comfortable fit without being too tight or too loose.
Can these trainers be worn in wet weather?
While the leather and rubber offer some protection, these trainers are not waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to protect the materials.
What is the main difference between leather and suede overlays?
The leather upper provides the main structure and durability, while the suede overlays are typically used for aesthetic detailing and add a textural element to the design.
How often should I clean my trainers?
Clean your trainers as needed based on wear and dirt accumulation. Regular spot cleaning can help maintain their appearance, while deeper cleaning can be done periodically.
Do these trainers come in other colors?
The product information specifies the Cortado and Sea Salt colorway. Please check with retailers for availability of other color options within the 480 series.
Troubleshooting
Squeaking noise from shoes
This can sometimes happen due to friction between shoe components or moisture. Try loosening the laces slightly or ensuring the insoles are properly seated. If the noise persists, it may be a manufacturing anomaly.
Uneven wear on outsole
Inspect your gait for any abnormalities. Significant uneven wear might indicate a need for new footwear or orthotics. For minor wear, ensure you are not scuffing your feet while walking.
Leather creases prematurely
Creasing is natural with leather. To minimize its appearance, ensure proper fit and avoid over-tightening laces. Using a shoe tree can help maintain shape when not in use.
