FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

The BB950 features a wide toe box, which may feel slightly more spacious than standard New Balance performance running shoes.

Can I use these for playing basketball?

While inspired by 80s basketball shoes, the BB950 is designed primarily for lifestyle and casual use and lacks the advanced shock absorption needed for competitive play.

Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?

Yes, the wide toe box design makes them a comfortable option for those who generally require a bit more room in the forefoot.

What is the best way to clean the white parts of the shoe?

Use a specialised leather cleaning solution and a soft cloth for the leather uppers, and a mild soap solution for the white rubber outsole.

Are these shoes unisex?

Yes, the BB950 is designed as a unisex model, though users should pay close attention to the specific UK size listing provided.

Can I replace the insoles?

Yes, the insoles are typically removable if you need to insert custom orthotics for additional support.

Troubleshooting

Creasing in the leather toe area

Use a shoe tree when not wearing the shoes to help them maintain their shape and minimize deep creases.

Dirt accumulation on the outsole

Use a soft-bristled brush with a mixture of water and mild soap to gently scrub the rubber outsole.

Laces coming undone

Double-knot the laces or ensure they are pulled evenly through the eyelets to maintain proper tension across the midfoot.

Pros and Cons

  • Durable leather construction
  • Spacious wide toe box for improved comfort

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your New Balance BB950s last, it is important to treat them as leather footwear. Avoid machine washing, which can damage the material and adhesives. Instead, clean the exterior with a soft, damp cloth and use a leather cleaner for tougher stains. Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent leather cracking or discolouration. Given their unisex sizing, ensure you verify the UK size conversion against your own measurements before purchase to guarantee the correct fit.
