FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for running?

The T500 was originally designed for track-and-field, but the modern version is best suited for leisure running and casual wear, not intense athletic training.

How do I clean the suede and nubuck parts?

Use a suede brush for dry dirt. For stains, use a damp cloth sparingly and allow to air dry. A suede protector spray is recommended for prevention.

What material are the trainers made of?

The upper is constructed from a combination of suede and nubuck leather, with perforated details on the toe box.

Are these trainers waterproof?

No, the suede and nubuck materials are not inherently waterproof. While a protector spray can offer some water resistance, they are not designed for wet conditions.

What occasions are these trainers best for?

These trainers are ideal for casual wear, everyday activities, light walking, and travel due to their comfortable design and timeless aesthetic.

How do I find the right size?

Refer to the sizing chart provided by New Balance and consider your usual UK shoe size. The product description specifies UK sizing.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

It is not recommended to wear these trainers in wet weather as the suede and nubuck materials can be easily damaged by water and may stain.

Troubleshooting

Suede material looks dull or dirty

Use a suede brush to gently remove surface dirt. For stubborn marks, use a suede eraser or a slightly damp cloth, then allow to air dry and brush again.

Shoe feels too tight

Ensure you have selected the correct size. For initial wear, breaking them in by wearing them for short periods can help. If persistently uncomfortable, consider if the width is suitable.

Sole feels slippery on certain surfaces

The sole provides general traction. For slick surfaces, exercise caution. If the issue persists and is due to wear, professional sole inspection may be needed.
