FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
The 950 features a wide toe box, which may feel slightly more spacious than standard athletic shoes. Most users find their regular size to be comfortable.
Can I use these for basketball?
While inspired by 80s basketball shoes, the 950 is designed as a lifestyle trainer and does not contain the technical performance features required for modern court sports.
How do I clean the white leather?
Use a soft cloth dampened with mild soap and water. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh detergents.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
Yes, the design specifically incorporates a wide toe box, making them a great option for those who need more room in the forefoot.
Is the material real leather?
Yes, the New Balance 950 is constructed with high-quality leather upper material for durability and style.
Troubleshooting
Creasing in the leather upper
Use a shoe tree when not wearing the shoes to help them maintain their shape and minimize deep creases.
Scuff marks on the white finish
Use a specialized white leather eraser or a gentle leather cleaner specifically formulated for white footwear.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 950 Trainers remain in top condition, follow these guidelines:
- Break-in Period: While the wide toe box offers immediate comfort, wear the shoes indoors for short periods initially to allow the leather to adapt to your foot.
- Cleaning: Wipe the leather surface regularly with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dust. For stubborn stains, use a leather-specific cleaner.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the white leather from yellowing or cracking.
- Compatibility: These are unisex shoes; please consult the size guide carefully as UK sizing may vary based on foot structure and preference.
