FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, the New Balance 550 series generally fits true to your standard adult sneaker size.
Can I use these for playing basketball?
While inspired by basketball, these are designed as lifestyle trainers and do not provide the technical performance features required for competitive court play.
How do I clean the green accents?
Use a damp, lint-free cloth and gentle leather conditioner to keep the colored accents bright and hydrated.
Are these unisex?
Yes, the New Balance 550 White Green is designed for adult unisex wear.
What should I do if the leather gets wet?
Wipe off excess moisture with a clean towel and let the shoes air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators.
Troubleshooting
Creasing in the leather toe box
Use a shoe tree when not in use to help the shoe retain its shape and smooth out minor creases.
Dirt buildup on the outsole
Use a soft brush with a mild soap solution to scrub the rubber edges, then wipe clean with a dry cloth.
Stiff fit during first wear
Wear them for short periods indoors to allow the leather to naturally soften and contour to your foot shape.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Out of the box, the New Balance 550 is ready for immediate wear. To ensure compatibility with your wardrobe, the white and forest green colorway pairs best with neutral tones, earth-colored chinos, or classic blue denim. Care instructions are vital for maintaining the white leather: wipe down the surface with a damp cloth after use to remove surface dirt. For deeper stains, use a dedicated leather cleaner or a soft-bristled brush. Avoid soaking the shoes in water or putting them in a washing machine, as this can degrade the leather and the adhesives holding the cupsole in place. Store in a cool, dry area away from direct sunlight to prevent the white leather from yellowing.
