FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
No, the New Balance 550 trainers are designed for casual wear and lifestyle, not for high-impact athletic activities like running.
How should I clean the cracked leather?
Use a damp cloth with a mild soap solution. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive water. It's best to test any cleaning method on a small, hidden area first.
What material is the upper made of?
The upper is primarily made of cracked white leather with beige suede leather accents.
What is the best way to care for the suede parts?
Use a suede brush to maintain the texture and remove light dirt. For stains, a specialized suede cleaner and eraser are recommended, following the product's instructions.
Do these trainers come in other colours?
The New Balance 550 series is available in various colourways. This guide specifically covers the white and beige variant.
What is the benefit of the perforated details?
The perforations are designed to enhance breathability, allowing for better air circulation to keep your feet cooler and more comfortable.
How do I ensure I get the right size?
It is recommended to check the New Balance sizing chart and measure your foot. Customer reviews sometimes offer insights into whether the shoes run true to size.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you have the correct size. Try wearing them with thinner socks initially. Walking around the house for a short period can help break them in. If discomfort persists, consider a larger size or a different model.
Suede accents appear dirty or matted
Use a dedicated suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, use a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner, following product instructions carefully.
Leather upper shows scuffs or marks
For minor scuffs, try buffing with a soft, dry cloth. For more noticeable marks on the cracked leather, use a damp cloth with a very mild soap. Test any cleaning solution on an inconspicuous area first.
Laces are dirty
Remove laces from the shoes and hand wash them with mild detergent and water. Allow them to air dry completely before re-lacing.
