No, the New Balance 550 is a lifestyle trainer based on basketball court heritage and is not designed for distance running or high-impact athletic activities.
While not strictly necessary, applying a water and stain repellent spray suitable for leather can help protect the brown finish from environmental elements.
The 550 model generally fits true to size. It is recommended to choose your standard sneaker size, keeping in mind the leather construction may feel slightly firm at first.
Store them in a well-ventilated area using shoe trees to maintain their structure, and keep them out of direct heat sources like radiators.
The leather upper offers minor protection, but these shoes are not waterproof and should be avoided in heavy downpours to prevent material damage.
This is a natural characteristic of leather footwear; use shoe trees when not wearing the trainers to help maintain the shape and minimize deep creases.
Use a specialized sneaker cleaning wipe or a soft cloth with mild soap to gently buff the white leather sections and bring back the original finish.
Re-adjust your lace tension, specifically utilizing the top eyelet to create a 'runner's loop' for a tighter lockdown around the ankle.
To ensure the best experience, verify your UK size against the specific variant fits, as the 550 series typically runs true to size. To care for your trainers, use a soft, dry brush to remove surface dust after each wear. If the leather becomes stained, use a dedicated leather cleaner applied to a clean cloth, avoiding harsh chemicals. Store the trainers in a cool, dry environment away from direct sunlight to prevent leather fading and cracking. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using a washing machine, as this can degrade the adhesive and leather finish.
