FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The New Balance 480 trainers are primarily designed as lifestyle sneakers. While they offer comfort and support for walking and casual wear, they are not optimized for high-impact running. For dedicated running, consider a shoe specifically designed for that activity.
How do I know if I have the right size?
It's recommended to measure your foot and compare it to the New Balance sizing chart. Many users find these trainers true to size, but individual fit can vary. Trying them on in-store or checking customer reviews for fit feedback is advisable.
Can the insoles be replaced?
Yes, the Ortholite insoles are typically removable, allowing you to replace them with your preferred aftermarket insoles if needed for custom arch support or added cushioning.
What is the main advantage of the Ortholite insoles?
The Ortholite insoles provide long-lasting cushioning, breathability, and superior moisture control, helping to keep your feet dry and comfortable throughout the day.
How should I clean the white leather upper?
Use a soft brush or a damp cloth to gently wipe away dirt. For tougher stains, a specialized leather cleaner can be used sparingly, followed by a dry cloth. Allow to air dry completely.
Is this shoe good for people who stand all day?
Yes, the combination of the durable rubber outsole, supportive structure, and Ortholite cushioning makes these trainers a good choice for individuals who spend long hours on their feet.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight upon first wear.
Allow for a break-in period of a few wears. Wearing them with slightly thinner socks initially can also help. Ensure the laces are not over-tightened.
Discomfort in the heel area.
Check if the heel counter is properly aligned with your foot. Ensure the socks you are wearing provide adequate padding. If discomfort persists after break-in, consider an aftermarket insole with better heel support.
Traction feels reduced on wet surfaces.
The rubber outsole provides good traction, but performance on very wet surfaces may be diminished. Ensure the outsole is clean of debris. For significantly wet conditions, consider specialized footwear.
Insoles feel less cushioned over time.
Ortholite insoles are designed for durability, but cushioning can naturally decrease with extensive use. Consider replacing the insoles with new ones if the cushioning is no longer adequate for your comfort.

Compatibility: These trainers are designed for general adult male footwear needs. They are compatible with a wide range of casual apparel.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: For the leather upper, use a damp cloth to wipe away dirt and grime. For stubborn stains, a mild leather cleaner can be used sparingly. Avoid soaking the shoes.
- Insoles: The Ortholite insoles can often be removed for separate cleaning or airing out. Hand wash gently with mild soap and water, then allow to air dry completely.
- Outsole: Clean the rubber outsole with a brush or damp cloth to remove dirt and maintain traction.
- Drying: If the shoes become wet, stuff them with paper to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag or the original box, to protect them from dust and damage.
