FAQs

Are these sneakers good for running or sports?

The New Balance 650R Leather Sneakers are primarily designed for casual wear and fashion. While they offer some comfort and support, they are not intended for high-impact athletic activities like running or basketball.

How do I clean the leather material?

Wipe the leather with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher spots, use a specialized leather cleaner. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first.

Do these sneakers run true to size?

Generally, New Balance sneakers run true to size. However, individual fit can vary. It's recommended to check customer reviews or try them on if possible for the best fit.

What is the difference between the 650R and the 550 models?

The 650R is often considered a sleeker, high-top version of the popular 550, featuring a similar retro basketball-inspired aesthetic but with a higher cut and distinct design elements like raw-edged eyelets.

Can these sneakers be worn by both men and women?

While this specific listing is for men's sizing (UK 7.5), the New Balance 650R series is often available in unisex sizing, making them suitable for various individuals depending on the available size range.

How should I care for the raw-edged leather eyelets?

Be gentle when cleaning around the raw-edged eyelets. Use a soft brush or a lightly dampened cloth. Avoid vigorous scrubbing to maintain their appearance and prevent fraying.

What is the return policy for New Balance sneakers?

Return policies vary by retailer. Please check the specific return policy of the store where you purchased the sneakers for details on exchanges or returns.

Troubleshooting

Creasing on leather

Some creasing is natural with leather. To minimize, ensure proper fit and avoid over-tightening laces. Store with shoe trees or crumpled paper.

Dirt on raw-edged eyelets

Gently use a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth to clean the area. Avoid excessive moisture or harsh chemicals.

Discomfort during initial wear

Leather shoes can require a break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time. Ensure correct sizing.
