FAQs
Are these shoes water-resistant?
While leather provides some natural resistance, they are not fully waterproof. We recommend applying a protective spray to guard against light rain.
Can I put my New Balance 950s in the washing machine?
No. Machine washing can damage the leather, warp the shape, and ruin the adhesive bonds. Always hand clean with appropriate products.
How do I ensure the right fit?
The 950 model is sized for adults. Use your standard UK size as a reference, and remember that leather may stretch slightly over time with regular wear.
Are these suitable for running?
These trainers are primarily designed for lifestyle and everyday casual wear, not for high-intensity running or specialized sports activities.
What is the best way to keep the white leather white?
Wipe them down after every use to prevent dirt from settling into the leather pores and use a dedicated white leather restorer if yellowing occurs.
Troubleshooting
Leather looks dull after heavy use
Apply a high-quality leather conditioner to restore moisture and shine.
Creasing appears on the toe box
This is normal for leather footwear. Use shoe trees when not wearing to minimize deep-set creases.
Surface dirt will not come off with dry cloth
Use a specialized sneaker cleaning solution specifically formulated for leather and white materials.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 950 trainers last as long as possible, follow these guidelines:
- Break-in Period: Leather shoes may feel slightly stiff initially; wear them for shorter durations for the first few days to allow the leather to soften and mold to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth or a specialized leather cleaner to remove surface dust. For tougher stains, use a mild leather-safe soap and a damp cloth, followed by air drying away from direct heat sources.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can cause the leather to dry out or the white color to yellow.
- Protection: Apply a leather-specific water and stain repellent spray before first use to create a barrier against spills and dirt.
