FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

No, the New Balance 550 is a lifestyle sneaker inspired by basketball heritage. It is designed for casual walking and daily wear, not for athletic performance or running.

How do I ensure the right fit for a 5.5 UK size?

The New Balance 550 generally fits true to size. We recommend measuring your foot while wearing the type of socks you intend to use with the trainers.

Can I put these trainers in the washing machine?

We strongly advise against machine washing, as it can damage the materials and glue. Always opt for hand cleaning with a damp cloth or sneaker-specific cleaner.

What is the primary material of the 550 series?

The 550s typically utilize a combination of durable leather and synthetic overlays to create a supportive, long-lasting structure.

Does this model come with original packaging?

Yes, this specific model is provided in new condition, complete with the original manufacturer packaging.

Troubleshooting

Creasing at the toe box

This is a natural occurrence in leather-based lifestyle shoes; using cedar shoe trees when not wearing them can help maintain the shape.

Stiff initial fit

The 550 model is built with structured materials. Wear them for short periods around the house to help the materials conform to your foot shape naturally.

Difficulty cleaning white accents

Use a specialized sneaker cleaning solution and a soft-bristled brush to gently scrub the white rubber areas, then wipe clean with a microfiber cloth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

When you receive your New Balance 550s, ensure you check the size (this model is UK 5.5) before discarding the original packaging. For care, keep the trainers looking sharp by wiping the exterior with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. Avoid submerging them in water or using harsh industrial cleaners, as these can compromise the material integrity and colour vibrancy. Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use to prevent material fading. If they get wet, air dry them naturally away from direct heat sources to avoid warping the sole or upper.
