FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for basketball?
While inspired by 1980s basketball culture, these are designed as lifestyle trainers and are not intended for competitive sports.
Is the material actually wool?
Yes, the product features a specialized wool upper, providing a unique texture and comfortable, breathable fit.
Does the roomy toe box fit true to size?
Yes, the sizing is standard, but the internal construction is intentionally spacious in the toe area for added comfort.
Can I wear these in the rain?
Due to the wool material, it is best to avoid heavy rain as wool can absorb moisture and take longer to dry.
What gender are these shoes for?
The New Balance 950 Trainers are unisex, designed to fit a wide range of adult foot shapes.
How do I maintain the bright white color?
Regularly brush off dust and spot clean immediately when a spill occurs to prevent stains from setting into the wool fibers.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt on the wool surface
Use a dry, soft-bristled brush to gently whisk away surface dust. For deeper stains, dab with a cloth slightly dampened with cold water and a small amount of wool-safe cleaner.
Creasing at the forefoot
Use wooden or plastic shoe trees when not wearing to help the material maintain its shape and minimize deep creases.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 950 Trainers remain in top condition, follow these guidelines:
- Break-in: While the shoes have a roomy fit, it is recommended to wear them for short durations indoors initially to ensure the wool material adapts to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Given the wool construction, avoid machine washing. Spot clean using a soft, damp cloth and mild detergent. Use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove surface debris from the wool fibers.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the white wool from yellowing or fading.
- Compatibility: These trainers feature a neutral white palette, making them highly compatible with casual denim, chinos, or athletic joggers.
