FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
No, the New Balance 950 is a lifestyle trainer designed for casual, everyday wear, not for running or intensive athletic activity.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
It is not recommended. Machine washing can compromise the shape and the wool material. Always stick to manual spot cleaning.
How do I ensure I have the right size?
The 950 series fits true to standard New Balance sizing, but the roomier toe box provides a slightly more relaxed feel than performance-focused models.
Are these trainers waterproof?
No, they are made from wool and do not feature waterproof membranes; they should be avoided in heavy rain.
Is the wool material itchy?
No, the wool used is specific to footwear construction and is lined to ensure it is comfortable against the foot or socks.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt on wool upper
Use a dry soft-bristled brush to gently lift dirt particles before attempting any liquid cleaning.
Creasing near the toe box
This is common with casual wear due to the roomy construction; use shoe trees when not wearing to help maintain the original shape.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 950 trainers maintain their appearance, follow these guidelines:
- Initial Fit: As these are unisex trainers, ensure you verify the UK sizing against your typical New Balance fit; the roomy toe box may feel different than narrower performance models.
- Cleaning: Given the wool material, avoid aggressive scrubbing. Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt and a damp, soft cloth with mild detergent for spot cleaning.
- Drying: Air dry only. Keep away from direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as high heat can damage the structure and material integrity of the wool.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place to prevent moisture accumulation in the wool fibres.
