FAQs

Are the New Balance 550s true to size?

Most users find that the 550 fits true to size, though the leather construction may feel slightly snug initially before softening.

Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?

No, you should never machine wash leather trainers as the agitation and water can damage the material and adhesives.

What is the best way to clean white leather?

Wipe with a damp cloth and use a dedicated leather sneaker cleaner; always dry naturally away from direct heat.

Are these suitable for basketball?

While the design is inspired by 90s basketball shoes, they are intended as lifestyle trainers for casual use, not for active court sports.

Do these shoes offer arch support?

The 550 provides a standard flat-bottomed feel typical of heritage court shoes, which can accommodate most users comfortably for daily wear.

Is the leather upper breathable?

Leather is naturally less breathable than mesh, but the 550 provides sufficient comfort for casual, all-day wear.

Troubleshooting

Visible scuffs on leather

Use a specialized leather cleaner or a damp cloth with mild soap, followed by a leather conditioner.

Creasing at the toe box

Use shoe trees when not in use to help the leather maintain its shape.

Stains on the outsole

Use a magic eraser or a stiff-bristled brush with soapy water to scrub the rubber edges carefully.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your New Balance 550s remain in optimal condition, treat them as you would any fine leather product. Before the first wear, consider applying a water-and-stain repellent spray specifically designed for leather. For routine maintenance, wipe the leather surfaces with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh detergents. If the outsoles pick up debris, use a soft brush to clear the tread. Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the leather from cracking or discolouring.
