FAQs

Can I use these for running?

Troubleshooting
Creasing on the leather upper
This is a natural occurrence with genuine leather. Using a cedar shoe tree when not wearing them can help retain the shape.
Dirt stains on white leather
Gently clean with a specialized leather cleaner or a mild soap solution and a soft cloth, then allow to air dry away from heat sources.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To get the best out of your New Balance 550 trainers, ensure you have selected the correct UK size, as the leather upper maintains a consistent fit over time. For care, wipe away surface dirt with a soft, damp cloth after each use to keep the white leather looking fresh. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh industrial cleaners, as this can degrade the leather quality and colour vibrancy. When not in use, store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material discolouration.
