FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The New Balance 480 is designed for lifestyle and casual use rather than performance running; it lacks the specific technical support for high-impact sports.
How do I ensure the right fit?
These trainers follow standard UK sizing. We recommend checking your foot size against the manufacturer's size guide before purchasing.
Can the insoles be replaced?
Yes, the Ortholite inserts are removable, allowing you to swap them with custom orthotics if required.
Is the leather waterproof?
The leather is durable, but not waterproof. We recommend applying a leather-safe water repellent spray if you intend to wear them in wet weather.
What is the primary material used?
The upper is constructed from high-quality, durable leather, complemented by a rubber cup outsole.
Troubleshooting
Visible scuffs on the leather upper
Use a specialized leather eraser or a damp microfiber cloth with mild soap to gently buff out marks.
Accumulated moisture or odors inside
Remove the Ortholite inserts and let them air dry separately; use an odor-neutralizing spray if necessary.
Outsole losing traction due to dirt
Use a soft-bristled brush and warm, soapy water to clean the rubber cup outsole, then air dry.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 480 trainers maintain their appearance, follow these simple care steps:
- Cleaning: Wipe the leather surface with a soft, damp cloth after use to remove surface dirt. Avoid submerging the shoes in water.
- Maintenance: Use a leather cleaner or conditioner periodically to prevent the material from cracking.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can yellow the white leather over time.
- Compatibility: The neutral white/grey design allows for seamless styling with casual trousers, jeans, and shorts. The standard fit is true to size, but ensure you select your correct UK measurement for optimal support.
