FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
No, the New Balance 480 is a lifestyle/casual trainer inspired by court silhouettes, not a performance running shoe.
How should I clean the white leather?
Use a damp cloth and mild, neutral soap. Avoid soaking the leather and always let them air dry away from heat sources.
Do these trainers run true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard UK sizing, though individual fit preferences may vary.
Can the insoles be removed?
Yes, most New Balance 480 models feature removable insoles if you need to insert custom orthotics.
What is the primary material used?
The upper is constructed from premium leather, providing durability and a classic appearance.
Troubleshooting
Creasing on the toe box
This is a natural occurrence with leather footwear; using cedar shoe trees when not in use can help maintain the shape.
Scuff marks on white leather
Use a non-abrasive white eraser or a damp cloth with mild soap to gently lift surface scuffs.
Shoes feeling stiff
Wear them indoors for short periods to allow the leather to soften and conform to your foot shape naturally.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 480 trainers maintain their aesthetic appeal, follow these care guidelines:
- Cleaning: Wipe the leather surface with a soft, damp cloth after each use to prevent dirt buildup.
- Stain Removal: Use a specialized leather cleaner for tougher scuffs, avoiding harsh chemicals that could strip the finish.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent leather drying or discolouration.
- Moisture Protection: Consider applying a leather-safe water and stain repellent spray before first use.
- Fit Check: Ensure you select your standard UK sizing, as the leather material provides a consistent, snug fit that does not stretch significantly over time.
