FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
No, the New Balance 950 is designed as a lifestyle trainer and does not contain the specific motion control or cushioning technology required for long-distance running.
How do I clean the leather?
Wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing, which can damage the leather finish.
Does the wide toe box mean I should size down?
The wide toe box is a comfort feature. Most users find their standard size is the most comfortable, but you should choose based on your actual foot measurements.
Are these shoes unisex?
This specific variant is listed for males, though the design is inherently gender-neutral.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the insoles are removable and can be swapped for custom orthotics if necessary.
Troubleshooting
Leather showing creases
Natural creasing occurs in leather; use shoe trees when not in use to help maintain shape.
Scuff marks on white surface
Use a specialized sneaker eraser or a damp cloth with a small amount of non-abrasive cleaner.
Traction concerns on wet surfaces
While the sole provides good grip, exercise caution on polished floors or very slick surfaces, as with all rubber-soled footwear.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 950s last, follow these guidelines:
- Fit: The UK 12.5 size provides a consistent fit, but we recommend wearing them with medium-weight cotton socks to optimize the internal volume.
- Cleaning: Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt. For the white leather, use a damp cloth with mild soap to wipe away scuffs. Avoid submerging the shoes in water.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent leather discoloration and material drying.
- Maintenance: Apply a leather-safe protectant spray to repel liquids and stains before the first use.
