FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, the New Balance 550 generally fits true to UK size, though the leather upper may feel snug initially.
Can I use these for playing basketball?
While based on a retro basketball silhouette, these are lifestyle trainers and are best suited for casual, everyday wear rather than competitive court performance.
How do I clean the white leather?
Wipe the surface with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive scrubbers to protect the finish of the leather.
Are these suitable for wet weather?
Leather is somewhat water-resistant, but they are not waterproof. It is best to avoid heavy rain to keep the white leather clean.
Do the green accents fade?
With proper storage away from direct sunlight, the color integrity will be maintained for a long duration.
Troubleshooting
Leather creasing at the toe box
This is a natural characteristic of leather footwear. Use a shoe tree when not wearing to help maintain the shape.
Scuff marks on the white leather
Use a specialized sneaker eraser or a gentle leather cleaner with a microfiber cloth to buff out superficial marks.
Shoe feels too tight initially
Leather will naturally stretch and mold to your foot over time. Wear them for short durations indoors to break them in gradually.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these trainers feature white leather, keeping them clean is essential for maintaining their visual appeal. Use a soft, damp cloth or a dedicated leather cleaner to wipe away surface dirt immediately after use to prevent staining. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh chemical solvents. Ensure you store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can cause the white leather or green accents to fade over time. Check your sizing against the UK standard, noting that leather uppers may provide a snug fit initially before softening to the shape of your foot.
