Extended Product Information

The New Balance 480 youth trainers excel as a daily wear shoe for children. Their durable man-made upper is well-suited for the rigors of school playgrounds and active playtime, resisting scuffs and dirt. The Ortholite insole provides crucial cushioning, making them comfortable for extended periods, from morning classes to after-school activities. While inspired by basketball heritage, they are best utilized for general athletic play, casual outings, and everyday school wear. Their classic all-black design makes them a practical choice for school uniforms, offering both style and function. Users can expect reliable support and comfort for typical youth energy levels.

Setup and First Use Simply unbox your New Balance 480 trainers, loosen the laces, and slide them on. Adjust the laces to achieve a snug, comfortable fit that doesn't feel too tight or too loose around the ankle and top of the foot. Allow for a short break-in period during initial wears to conform to the foot.

Compatibility These trainers are designed for children's feet (specifically UK 3) and are compatible with standard athletic socks. They are suitable for a wide range of youth activities including school, casual wear, light sports, and active play.

Care and Maintenance - Cleaning: For the man-made upper, wipe down regularly with a damp cloth to remove dirt and scuffs. A mild soap solution can be used for tougher spots, then wipe clean with a fresh damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals. - Drying: Air dry at room temperature away from direct heat sources or sunlight to prevent material damage. Do not machine wash or tumble dry. - Insole Care: The Ortholite insole can be removed and air-dried if it becomes damp or needs freshening. - Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use.
