FAQs

What material are the New Balance T500 trainers made of?

The T500 trainers feature a premium leather upper with suede detailing.

Are these shoes suitable for sports?

The T500 are designed as casual, court-inspired lifestyle shoes. They are not intended for rigorous athletic performance or specialized sports.

How do I clean the suede parts of the shoe?

Use a specialized suede brush to remove dirt and restore the nap. For tougher marks, a suede eraser can be effective. Avoid using water on suede.

What is the main benefit of the leather upper?

The leather upper provides durability, a premium feel, and conforms to your foot over time for increased comfort.

Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?

While the leather offers some protection, it's not fully waterproof. It's recommended to avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain and consider using a water-repellent spray for added protection.

What year is this design from?

The New Balance T500 design is a revival from 1982.

Is this a unisex model?

Yes, the New Balance T500 is designed as a unisex model, suitable for adults.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel tight upon first wear.

The leather upper may require a break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time. Using thicker socks during the break-in phase can also help.

Leather appears scuffed or marked.

For minor scuffs on leather, try using a leather conditioner or a specialized leather cleaner. For suede, use a suede eraser and brush.

Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces.

Ensure the soles are clean and free of debris. If the issue persists on smooth surfaces, consider a professional resoling with a different tread pattern if extensive use is planned.
