FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for playing tennis?
While the T500 has a tennis-inspired design, the reintroduced model is intended for leisure and casual wear, not for competitive athletic performance.
What is the best way to clean the suede and nubuck parts?
Use a dedicated suede brush to remove dry dirt and restore the nap. For stains, a suede eraser can be used. Always test cleaning solutions on a small, hidden area first.
How do I find the right size?
Refer to the size chart provided. The T500 is available in various UK adult foot sizes. Ensure you measure your foot accurately for the best fit.
Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?
While the leather offers some protection, the suede and nubuck are best kept dry. Consider using a water and stain repellent spray designed for these materials if you anticipate encountering wet conditions.
What are the main materials used in the T500?
The upper is constructed from a combination of durable leather, pigskin suede, and nubuck.
How do these shoes differ from the original 1982 release?
The original T500 was designed for on-court play. The reintroduced model retains the classic style but is optimized for comfort and versatility as a leisure shoe.
Is this shoe available in other colors or sizes?
The New Balance T500 is available in various colorways and sizes. Please check the product listings for available options.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Try wearing them with thinner socks initially. Leather and suede will naturally mold to your feet over time, providing a more comfortable fit.
Suede or nubuck looks dull
Use a suede brush to restore the nap. For stubborn marks, a suede eraser can be effective. Apply a suede protector spray after cleaning to maintain appearance.
Leather scuffs or marks
For minor scuffs, a leather conditioner or a very slightly damp cloth might help. Test any cleaning product on an inconspicuous area first.
