FAQs
Are New Balance 550s true to size?
Yes, the New Balance 550 generally fits true to your standard UK shoe size.
Are these shoes suitable for running?
No, the 550 is a lifestyle trainer designed for casual, everyday wear rather than performance athletic activity.
How do I clean the green accents?
Use a damp cloth and mild soap to gently wipe the accented areas, taking care not to let excess water soak into the leather.
Can I replace the insoles?
The insoles in the 550 are generally removable, allowing you to replace them with custom orthotics if required.
What is the material of the upper?
The upper is constructed from premium leather for durability and a classic look.
Troubleshooting
Leather surface shows creases after wear
Creasing is a natural characteristic of high-quality leather; using shoe trees when not in use helps the shoe retain its shape.
Difficult to remove dirt from white leather
Use a soft-bristled brush with a gentle leather-cleaning solution, working in small circular motions rather than scrubbing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For the best fit, ensure you select your standard UK shoe size, as the 550 series generally adheres to traditional sizing. To keep your trainers in top condition:
- Cleaning: Wipe the leather upper with a damp cloth after each use to prevent dirt from setting into the grain.
- Stain Removal: For tougher marks, use a specialized leather cleaner or a mild soap solution on a soft brush.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the leather from cracking or the white finish from yellowing.
- Protection: Consider applying a leather-safe water and stain repellent spray upon first use to add a layer of protection against environmental elements.
