Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
These trainers require no setup. Upon receiving them, ensure they fit correctly. It's recommended to wear them for short periods initially to allow the materials to conform to your feet.
Compatibility:
The New Balance 550 trainers are designed for adult male footwear. Their versatile style makes them compatible with a wide array of casual and semi-casual clothing.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning Leather: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt. For tougher stains, a specialized leather cleaner can be used sparingly. Avoid excessive water.
- Suede/Nubuck (if applicable to specific colorways): Use a suede brush to remove dry dirt and maintain texture. Protect with a suede protector spray.
- Laces: Remove laces and hand-wash them separately with mild soap and water.
- Insoles: If removable, take them out and air them regularly to prevent odor.
- Drying: Allow trainers to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources. Stuffing with paper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag or box, to protect from dust and sunlight.
