New Balance 550 - White - Leather - UK 10.5

While the 550 is based on a classic basketball design, it is intended as a lifestyle sneaker and lacks the high-performance support needed for competitive play.

No, the leather upper and mesh panels are not waterproof and should be kept away from heavy rain or puddles to protect the materials.

The New Balance 550 generally fits true to size. We recommend checking your specific UK size measurement as indicated in the product guide.

The mesh collar is designed for comfort and breathability rather than rigid ankle support, offering a flexible feel during casual wear.

It is strongly advised against placing leather sneakers in the washing machine, as the water and detergent can damage the glue and leather texture.

The shoe features a leather upper complemented by mesh detailing on the collar and tongue.

Creasing is a natural result of the shoe bending during use; use shoe trees when not wearing the trainers to help maintain shape.

Use a dedicated leather cleaner or a damp cloth with mild detergent; avoid soaking the shoe in water.

This is normal for leather footwear; the shoes will soften and contour to your foot shape after a short break-in period.
