FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for basketball?
While the 950 is inspired by 80s basketball shoes, it is designed as a lifestyle trainer and not for modern competitive basketball performance.
How should I clean the leather?
Wipe with a damp, soft cloth. Do not soak the leather, and allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources.
Does the wide toe box fit differently?
Yes, it provides more room for your toes to splay naturally, which often feels more comfortable than standard performance trainers.
Are these unisex?
Yes, the New Balance 950 is designed as a unisex model, fitting both men and women using standard UK sizing.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the provided insoles are generally removable if you wish to use custom orthotics.
Troubleshooting
Leather feels stiff upon first wear
The leather will soften naturally with heat and movement; try wearing them for short intervals during the first week.
Minor scuff marks on the surface
Use a white eraser or a leather-specific cleaning sponge to gently buff out light surface scuffs.
Creasing at the toe box
This is a natural characteristic of leather footwear. Using shoe trees when not in use can help minimize deep creases.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 950 trainers stay in peak condition, consider these tips:
- Break-in Period: Wear them for short durations indoors for the first few days to allow the leather to mold to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to remove surface dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized leather cleaner applied sparingly with a soft brush.
- Moisture Protection: Apply a water and stain repellent spray suitable for leather to protect against the elements.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can cause the leather to fade or crack over time.
- Fit: The unisex sizing adheres to standard UK adult sizing; ensure you select the appropriate length for your foot to fully utilize the benefits of the wide toe box.
