The New Balance GM500 Trainers are engineered to be a reliable companion for your daily routine. Their flexible rubber outsole provides a confident grip, whether you're navigating city streets, walking to the gym, or standing for extended periods. The cushioned footbed ensures that your feet remain comfortable from morning to evening, making them an excellent choice for a busy schedule.
For example, when running errands, the secure lacing allows for quick adjustments, while the breathable mesh lining prevents overheating. If you're heading to a casual workout, the EVA midsole offers light cushioning, supporting your feet without the bulk of a dedicated performance shoe. These trainers blend seamlessly with various outfits, making them a practical and stylish choice for any active man's wardrobe.
Your New Balance GM500 Trainers feature a classic lace-up fastening. Simply loosen the laces, slide your foot in, and then tighten the laces to achieve a snug, comfortable fit. Ensure your heel is seated correctly in the heel cup before tying the laces.
These trainers are designed for adult males, specifically in UK size 9 for this model. The versatile design means they can complement a wide range of casual and athletic wear.
To ensure the longevity of your GM500 Trainers, follow these care instructions:
Cleaning: For the synthetic upper and textile lining, gently wipe down with a soft, damp cloth using a mild soap. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
Drying: Allow your trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them in direct sunlight or use artificial heat sources (like a radiator or hairdryer), as this can damage the materials.
Materials: The upper is 67% polyester and 33% textile; lining and cushioning are 100% textile; the sole is 100% rubber. Regular gentle cleaning will help maintain their appearance and integrity.
