FAQs
Are New Balance 550s true to size?
Yes, they generally fit true to size. If you prefer a looser fit or have wider feet, some users suggest going up a half size.
Can I use these for playing basketball?
While based on basketball heritage, these are lifestyle trainers. They lack the technical support and ankle lockdown required for competitive sport.
What is the best way to keep the white leather clean?
Regularly wipe them down with a damp cloth after use and treat them with a leather protectant spray.
Does the shoe provide arch support?
The shoe features a cushioned EVA midsole which provides basic support, suitable for daily walking.
Are the laces included?
Yes, every pair comes with standard flat laces designed to match the retro aesthetic.
Can the insoles be removed?
Yes, the insoles are removable, allowing you to insert your own custom orthotics if needed.
Troubleshooting
Creasing in the leather toe box
This is a natural occurrence with leather sneakers; use cedar shoe trees when not wearing to help maintain the shape.
Difficulty putting the shoe on
Loosen the laces starting from the bottom eyelets to provide more room for your foot to slide in comfortably.
Minor scuffs on white leather
Use a specialized leather eraser or a small amount of white leather cleaner on a microfiber cloth to buff out the marks.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 550s remain in top condition, follow these steps:
- Break-in: Wear them for short durations indoors initially to allow the leather to adapt to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt. For surface stains, wipe gently with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid submerging the leather in water.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent leather cracking or color fading.
- Protection: Consider applying a leather-safe water and stain repellent spray to keep the white leather pristine for longer.
