FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running sports?
While they provide great support for everyday activity and movement, they are designed as lifestyle trainers rather than dedicated high-performance running shoes.
How do I determine the right size for my child?
New Balance typically follows standard sizing. It is recommended to measure the child's foot in the afternoon when it is at its largest and ensure there is about a thumb's width of space at the toe.
Can these shoes be washed in a machine?
No, machine washing can damage the leather and the structure of the shoe. We recommend manual cleaning with a cloth and mild cleaner.
Is the leather genuine or synthetic?
The New Balance 480 features durable leather construction designed for long-lasting wear.
Does the 480 series offer arch support?
The shoes provide a stable base and consistent support suitable for growing feet, though they are not explicitly orthopedic.
Troubleshooting
Laces constantly coming untied
Use a double knot or replace with slightly textured athletic laces for better grip.
Leather surface shows scuff marks
Apply a matching leather polish or cream to buff out minor surface scuffs and restore color.
Odour buildup after long-term wear
Remove the insoles to air out and use an antimicrobial shoe spray to freshen the interior.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your New Balance 480 trainers, follow these maintenance tips:
- Cleaning: Use a soft, damp cloth or a specialized leather cleaner to wipe away surface dirt. Avoid submerging the shoes in water, as this can compromise the leather.
- Drying: Always air dry at room temperature. Keep them away from direct heat sources like radiators or hair dryers, which can cause the leather to crack.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading.
- Fit: Ensure the laces are adjusted to provide support without restricting circulation. Check the size regularly as children's feet grow quickly.
