FAQs
Are the New Balance T500 suitable for playing tennis?
While the T500 has a tennis shoe heritage, the relaunched model is designed for versatile style and leisure, not for competitive sports. For tennis, we recommend specialized athletic footwear.
How do I determine my correct shoe size?
Refer to the sizing chart provided by New Balance and measure your foot length. The T500 is available in various UK adult sizes, such as UK 3.5.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
The leather upper offers some protection, but the shoes are not waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain. Using a leather protector spray can improve water resistance.
What is the main difference between the T500 and other New Balance court shoes?
The T500 stands out with its rubber midsole, which distinguishes it from older court models with vulcanized soles, and its specific blend of pigskin and nubuck leather upper.
How often should I clean my T500 trainers?
Clean your trainers as needed, based on wear and dirt accumulation. Regular spot cleaning with a damp cloth is recommended for light dirt, with deeper cleaning for stains.
Does the T500 come in other colors besides Red/Blue?
The T500 is available in a range of colorways. Please check the product listings for other available color options, such as Beige or Blue variants.
Troubleshooting
Laces are difficult to tie or come undone
Ensure laces are threaded evenly and tied using a secure knot. Consider replacing laces with a textured pair for better grip.
Slight stiffness in new leather
Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow the leather to naturally mold to your feet. Applying a leather conditioner can also help soften the material.
Discoloration on leather from cleaning
Ensure you are using a cleaner specifically designed for leather and test on an inconspicuous area first. Always use a damp, not wet, cloth.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt. For tougher stains on the leather, a dedicated leather cleaner can be used sparingly. Avoid machine washing.

- Protection: Consider using a leather protector spray to help repel water and stains, especially for the nubuck and pigskin elements.
