FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
No, the New Balance 550 is a lifestyle sneaker inspired by basketball heritage and is not designed for running or high-intensity athletic training.
How do I ensure I get the right fit?
Check your size against the UK sizing chart provided. Since these are adult-sized, ensure you measure your foot length accurately to align with your typical New Balance size.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash the 550 series as it can damage the materials and bond strength of the sole.
What does the 550 series represent?
The 550 is a tribute to the original 1989 basketball shoe that defined a generation of on-court style.
Are there different sizes available?
Yes, this model is available in a variety of UK sizes, such as 5.5, 6, 7.5, 8, 8.5, 9, and 10.5.
Is the sole non-slip?
The rubber sole is designed to provide superior traction on standard surfaces, though it should be handled with care on wet or icy terrain.
Troubleshooting
Creasing in the toe box area
This is common with leather lifestyle sneakers. Using a shoe tree when not in use can help maintain the shape.
Stains on white portions of the upper
Gently spot clean with a professional sneaker cleaning solution and a soft cloth, avoiding harsh chemicals that might fade the pink accents.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 550 trainers stay in peak condition, store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. When cleaning the shoes, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt from the outsole. For the upper materials, use a damp cloth with mild soap; avoid machine washing as this can damage the structural adhesives and materials. Ensure you select the correct UK sizing, as the 550 series is available in various adult sizes to ensure a proper, comfortable fit for your individual foot shape.
