FAQs

Are these sneakers suitable for playing basketball?

While rooted in basketball heritage, the 550 is designed for lifestyle and casual wear rather than competitive court performance.

Does the sizing run true to size?

Yes, the New Balance 550 generally fits true to size for most wearers.

Can I put these in the washing machine?

No, you should never machine wash your sneakers as the water and agitation can damage the leather, suede, and glue bonds.

What materials are used in the construction?

The upper consists of premium smooth leather and grey suede overlays, supported by a durable rubber sole.

Are these shoes unisex?

The series is widely popular across all genders, though specific listings may designate size ranges for men or women.

How do I prevent the white leather from yellowing?

Keep the shoes clean and store them out of direct sunlight to prevent premature yellowing of the materials.

Troubleshooting

Creasing on the leather upper

Use cedar shoe trees when not in use to maintain the shape and minimize deep creases.

Scuffs on the white leather

Use a magic eraser or a damp cloth with mild soap to gently buff away surface scuffs.

Suede toe appearing dirty

Use a soft-bristled suede brush to lift dirt; do not use water as it can damage the suede texture.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your New Balance 550s last as long as possible, follow these guidelines:

  • Fit: The shoes feature a regular fit. Ensure you order your standard UK size for the best experience.
  • Cleaning: Wipe the white leather sections with a clean, damp cloth. Use a specialized suede brush or eraser to gently clean the grey suede toe wrap. Avoid submerging the sneakers in water.
  • Protection: Applying a water and stain repellent spray specifically formulated for leather and suede can help protect against the elements.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the leather from cracking or colors from fading.
