FAQs
What materials are the New Balance 480L Trainers made from?
The uppers are composed of 56% leather, 39% textile, and 5% other materials. The lining is 100% textile, cushioning is 100% textile, and the sole is 100% rubber.
How should I clean the leather parts of the trainers?
Wipe leather sections with a slightly damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a specialized leather cleaner sparingly. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Are these trainers suitable for running or intense sports?
These trainers are designed for casual wear and light activities. They are not intended for high-impact sports or professional athletic training.
What is the heel type of these trainers?
The trainers feature a flat heel design.
How do I ensure a proper fit?
Utilize the lace-up fastening to adjust the tightness and secure the shoe to your foot. Trying them on with the type of socks you typically wear is recommended.
Can these trainers be worn in wet conditions?
While the rubber sole offers some protection, the leather and textile upper is not waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to preserve the material.
What sizes are available?
These trainers are available in adult UK sizes. Specific size availability may vary.
Troubleshooting
Laces becoming worn or damaged
Replace laces with a new pair of standard trainer laces. Ensure they are of a similar length for proper tying.
Slight stiffness in leather upon first wear
Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow the leather to break in and conform to your foot's shape.
Color transfer from shoes to socks
This can sometimes occur with new dark-colored textiles or dyes. Washing the inside of the shoes with a mild detergent and rinsing thoroughly, followed by complete air drying, may help. Alternatively, wear darker socks.
