FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
No, the New Balance 950 is designed for lifestyle and casual wear, not for high-intensity sports or distance running.
What is the primary material?
The upper is constructed using wool material, providing a unique look and feel compared to leather or mesh.
Are these unisex?
Yes, the model is designed to be worn by any adult, regardless of gender.
How should I store them?
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the wool from fading or becoming brittle.
Do they run large?
The design features a roomy toe box, which some users may find feels more spacious than standard athletic trainers.
Can I put them in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the wool materials and the structural integrity of the shoe.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty cleaning the wool surface
Use a specialized wool cleaner or a gentle upholstery foam; never machine wash.
Creasing at the toe box
Use a shoe tree when not wearing to help maintain the structure and minimize deep creasing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because the construction features wool components, avoid heavy saturation with water or harsh chemical cleaners. To keep your trainers in top condition, remove surface dust with a soft-bristled brush regularly. If the shoes become damp, allow them to air dry at room temperature away from direct heat sources to preserve the integrity of the wool fibers. Ensure you have selected the correct UK size, as the roomy toe box may feel different if you are coming from more narrow-fitting performance shoes.
