Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your New Balance 550 trainers in optimal condition, wipe the leather exterior with a soft, damp cloth after wear to remove surface dust or dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a dedicated leather cleaner applied sparingly with a soft brush. Avoid machine washing or drying, as this can degrade the leather and the adhesives used in the construction. When not in use, store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading and leather cracking. To maintain the shape of the shoe, consider using cedar shoe trees or stuffing them with acid-free paper.
