FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The New Balance 480P trainers are designed for general comfort and casual wear. They do not offer the specialized support or cushioning typically required for serious running.
How do I clean the brown suede parts?
Use a suede brush for regular cleaning and dirt removal. For stains, a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner is recommended. Always follow the specific product's instructions and test on a small area first.
What material are these trainers made of?
These trainers feature a combination of suede and leather for the upper material, providing both durability and a classic aesthetic.
Can I wear these with athletic socks?
Yes, you can wear them with athletic socks. However, be mindful that new suede might transfer some color to socks, especially if damp. Using a suede protectant can help mitigate this.
What is the difference between suede and leather care?
Suede requires brushing and specialized cleaners to maintain its texture and color, avoiding excessive moisture. Leather can typically be wiped with a damp cloth and treated with leather conditioners for durability and shine.
Are these trainers true to size?
Fit can be subjective. While generally considered true to size, it's always recommended to check New Balance's sizing chart and, if possible, try them on to ensure the best fit for your foot shape.
Can I wash these trainers?
It is not recommended to wash these trainers in a washing machine, as this can damage the materials and construction. Spot cleaning and hand care are the preferred methods.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure you have the correct size. If slightly tight, try wearing thinner socks or using the shoes for shorter periods initially to allow them to break in. Check lacing to ensure it's not overly tightened.
Suede material looks scuffed or dirty
Use a dedicated suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For persistent marks, use a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner, following the product's instructions carefully. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first.
Stitching appears loose
Inspect the stitching carefully. For minor loose threads, they can sometimes be carefully trimmed with small scissors. If the structural integrity is compromised, consult a shoe repair specialist.
Color transfer from brown suede to socks
This can sometimes occur with new suede items, especially if they get wet. Ensure the shoes are dry and consider using a suede protectant spray to help seal the color. If it persists, contact customer support.
