FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
The New Balance 550 generally fits true to standard UK sizes. If you prefer a looser fit, consider wearing thinner socks.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the leather and the structure of the shoe. Hand cleaning is strongly recommended.
What material is the upper made of?
The upper is constructed from a combination of leather, synthetic materials, and breathable mesh.
Are the outsoles non-marking?
Yes, the rubber outsoles are specifically designed to be non-marking and safe for indoor surfaces.
Do these shoes provide arch support?
While they provide standard support for daily wear, those with specific podiatric needs may consider using custom orthotic insoles.
Are they suitable for wide feet?
The lacing system allows for some adjustment, but the 550 model is built on a standard width profile.
Troubleshooting
Laces coming untied frequently
Ensure you are using a double knot or checking that the laces are fed through the eyelets evenly to balance tension.
Visible scuffs on leather
Use a specialized leather cleaner or a soft eraser to gently buff out minor surface marks.
Sole losing grip due to debris
Use a soft brush to clear out pebbles or dust from the textured treads of the rubber outsole.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To get the most out of your New Balance 550s, ensure you select your correct UK size for a secure fit. For care, it is recommended to wipe the leather surfaces with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh chemical cleaners, as this can degrade the leather and adhesive integrity. To keep the interior fresh, consider using moisture-absorbing inserts when the shoes are not in use. Always allow the trainers to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can cause the leather to crack or warp.
