Product Information
Full details
The New Balance 480 trainers in White/Green are designed for adult males seeking a blend of heritage basketball style and modern comfort for everyday wear. Their key benefit lies in providing a stable, comfortable, and stylish sneaker suitable for casual use. A potential caveat is their sizing, which, like many trainers, may require careful consideration for the perfect fit. These trainers feature a durable rubber outsole, structural support from a heel counter and extended saddle, and Ortholite cushion insoles for moisture control and long-lasting wearability.

FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
The New Balance 480 trainers are primarily designed for lifestyle and casual wear. While they offer comfort and support, they are not specialized running shoes and may not provide the specific features required for performance running.
What is the primary material of the upper?
The product description indicates a leather material for some variants, but the 'White Timberwolf' model focuses on its combination of synthetic and textile materials for durability and style, inspired by heritage basketball shoes.
How do I ensure the best fit?
It is recommended to consult the New Balance size chart for UK men's footwear. Measuring your foot length and comparing it to the chart, or trying them on if possible, will help ensure the best fit.
Can I remove the insoles?
Yes, the Ortholite cushion insoles are designed to be removable. This allows for easier cleaning or replacement with custom orthotics if desired.
What is the warranty period for these trainers?
Specific warranty information is not provided in the product details. It is advisable to check with the retailer or New Balance directly for warranty terms and conditions.
How should I clean the green accents?
Clean all parts of the trainer, including the green accents, with a damp cloth and mild soap solution if necessary. Avoid harsh chemicals that could affect the color.
Troubleshooting
Sizing feels incorrect
Refer to the New Balance sizing guide and compare with your current footwear. Consider trying them on in-store if possible or checking customer reviews for fit feedback.
Discomfort after initial wear
Allow a break-in period of a few wears. Ensure socks are appropriate for athletic footwear. Check that the laces are adjusted for a snug but not overly tight fit.
Traction seems reduced
Clean the rubber outsole to remove any dirt or debris that may be affecting grip. Check for excessive wear on the tread pattern.
