FAQs

What materials are the New Balance 480P Trainers made of?

The uppers are constructed from 56% leather, 39% textile, and 5% other materials. The lining and cushioning are 100% textile, and the sole is 100% rubber.

Are these trainers suitable for playing basketball?

While inspired by basketball aesthetics, these trainers are primarily designed for casual wear and light activities. They may not offer the specific support and performance required for competitive basketball.

How should I clean the leather parts of the trainers?

Gently wipe the leather with a damp cloth. For deeper cleaning or conditioning, use a product specifically designed for leather footwear.

Can these trainers be worn by men and women?

Yes, these are unisex trainers designed to be suitable for all genders.

What is the heel type?

The trainers feature a flat heel.

How do I ensure I get the right size?

Refer to the product's sizing guide and measure your foot accurately. Consider trying them on if possible, as fit can vary between individuals.

What is the fastening type?

The trainers use a traditional lace-up fastening system for a secure and adjustable fit.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. The lace-up fastening allows for some adjustment, but if the overall fit is too snug, consider a different size.

Discoloration on leather parts

Use a dedicated leather cleaner and conditioner suitable for the shoe's color. Avoid exposing the shoes to excessive direct sunlight for prolonged periods.

Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces

The rubber sole provides traction, but performance can vary on extremely smooth or wet surfaces. Ensure the sole is clean; debris can reduce grip.

Care Advice:

  • Uppers: The uppers are made of 56% leather, 39% textile, and 5% other materials. Clean leather with a damp cloth and appropriate leather cleaner. Textile and other materials can be spot-cleaned with mild soap and water.

  • Sole: The 100% rubber sole can be wiped clean with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals that could degrade the rubber.
