FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
No, the New Balance 550 is a lifestyle court shoe designed for casual use rather than athletic running performance.
How do I clean the suede toe cap?
Use a suede brush or an eraser specifically designed for suede to gently remove dirt. Do not use water or soap on the suede.
Do these shoes run true to size?
Yes, they feature a regular fit, so most users find their standard shoe size provides the correct fit.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the insoles are typically removable if you need to insert custom orthotics for added comfort.
Are these trainers waterproof?
While the leather construction is water-resistant to a degree, they are not waterproof and should not be submerged in water.
Troubleshooting
Leather surface scuffing
Use a damp microfiber cloth with mild soap or a dedicated leather cleaner to gently buff out surface marks.
Stiff fit during first wear
Wear them for short periods around the house to allow the leather and footbed to mold to your foot shape naturally.
Discoloration of white leather
Wipe down the shoes after each use to prevent dirt buildup from setting into the leather grain.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 550s remain in top condition, proper care is essential. Since the upper is primarily leather with suede accents, avoid machine washing. Use a soft-bristled brush to remove surface dirt, and use a specialized leather cleaner for the white panels. For the suede toe cap, a dedicated suede eraser and brush will help maintain the nap. Always store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent yellowing or material degradation. Ensure you verify your UK sizing before purchase, as the regular fit is designed for standard foot shapes.
