FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The New Balance T500 Trainers are designed for leisure and casual wear, not for high-impact athletic activities like running. They lack the specialized cushioning and support required for serious running.
How do I determine my correct UK size?
Refer to the size chart provided by New Balance or the retailer. Measure your foot length from heel to toe and compare it with the provided sizing guide. It's recommended to try them on if possible.
Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?
While the leather offers some protection, suede and nubuck are best kept dry. We recommend avoiding prolonged exposure to rain and using a protective spray for better water resistance.
What is the primary material of the T500 trainers?
The upper is constructed from a premium combination of pigskin suede and nubuck, with perforated detailing on the toebox.
How do I clean dirt from the suede parts?
Gently use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt. For more ingrained dirt, a suede eraser or a dedicated suede cleaner can be used according to product instructions.
What is the difference between the original T500 and this reissue?
The original T500 was designed for on-court tennis. The reintroduced version maintains the classic style but is optimized for leisure and everyday wear, offering enhanced comfort for casual use rather than competitive performance.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Wear them for short periods initially to allow the materials to break in. If still too tight, consider using thicker socks or exploring professional stretching services.
Suede/Nubuck looks matted or dirty
Use a suede brush to lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For stubborn marks, use a dedicated suede cleaner, following the product instructions.
Leather creasing excessively
Creasing is natural with leather. Ensure proper fit to minimize excessive creasing. Using shoe trees can help maintain shape when not in use.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning Suede and Nubuck: Use a specialized suede brush to gently remove dirt and debris. For tougher stains, use a suede cleaner and follow the product's instructions carefully. Avoid using water directly on suede and nubuck as it can cause discoloration or damage.
- Cleaning Leather: Wipe the leather parts with a slightly damp cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a leather cleaner specifically designed for footwear.
- Drying: If the shoes get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as they can damage the materials.
- Protection: Consider using a water and stain repellent spray designed for leather and suede to help protect the shoes from the elements.
