What is the primary material?
The upper is constructed primarily from premium white leather with textile accents.
Is the heel support suitable for long-term wear?

How do I maintain the white color?

Troubleshooting
Leather showing creases at the toe box
This is normal for high-quality leather; use a shoe tree when not wearing them to help retain the shoe's shape.
Scuff marks on the white surface
Use a specialized rubber eraser for footwear or a leather cleaning wipe to gently buff out minor surface scuffs.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 550s remain in top condition, follow these guidelines:
- Cleaning: Wipe the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth. Use a leather-specific cleaner for stubborn marks.
- Storage: Keep away from direct sunlight or extreme heat to prevent the leather from cracking or discoloring.

- Weather Protection: Apply a water-repellent spray designed for leather to protect against accidental spills and light moisture.
