FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, the New Balance 550 typically fits true to standard UK sizing, though the leather upper has a structured fit.
Can these be machine washed?
No, machine washing can damage the leather and the adhesives in the cupsole. Always clean them by hand.
Are these suitable for playing sports?
While they feature a basketball-inspired design, they are intended for lifestyle and fashion use, not for competitive sports.
How do I clean the white leather?
Use a specialized leather cleaner or a damp cloth with gentle soap, and pat dry immediately.
Are they waterproof?
The leather offers some resistance to light moisture, but they are not fully waterproof and should be kept out of heavy rain.
Troubleshooting
Leather looks scuffed after walking
Gently wipe the surface with a damp microfiber cloth and use a leather-safe cleaner for persistent marks.
Shoes feel slightly tight initially
Wear them with thin socks for the first few sessions to allow the leather to naturally contour to your foot shape.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 550 trainers maintain their condition, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt from the leather after each wear. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth with mild soap, avoiding harsh chemicals that may discolor the leather or forest green detailing. Store the shoes in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to prevent material degradation. Because these are unisex trainers, ensure you verify your specific UK size, as the leather construction provides a structured fit that does not stretch significantly over time.
