FAQs
Are these suitable for playing tennis?
While inspired by a tennis shoe, the New Balance T500 is now designed primarily for lifestyle and casual wear. They may not offer the performance or support needed for competitive play.
How do I clean the suede material?
Use a suede brush for dry dirt and a specialized suede cleaner for stains. Avoid using water excessively, as it can damage the suede. Always allow them to air dry naturally.
What kind of socks should I wear with these?
These trainers are versatile and can be worn with most types of casual socks, from thin to medium-thick. The choice depends on your comfort preference and the weather.
How do I maintain the color of the brown suede?
Protecting the shoes with a suede protector spray can help maintain color vibrancy and prevent fading. Store them away from direct sunlight when not in use.
Do these trainers run true to size?
Generally, New Balance trainers fit true to size. However, it's always recommended to check user reviews or try them on if possible, as individual fit can vary.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
Suede is not ideal for wet conditions. While a protector spray can offer some resistance, it's best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or puddles to prevent damage and staining.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dull or dirty
Use a dedicated suede brush to restore the nap. For stubborn dirt, apply a suede cleaner and follow product instructions.
Shoes feel slightly tight
Wear the shoes with medium-thick socks for a few hours each day to allow them to naturally stretch and conform to your foot. Avoid wearing them in wet conditions during the break-in period.
White sole markings
Use a magic eraser or a damp cloth with mild soap to gently clean the rubber sole.
