FAQs
Are these shoes machine washable?
No, machine washing can damage the wool material and the structural integrity of the shoe. Use only hand-cleaning methods.
Are New Balance 950s true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard sizing, but the inclusion of a roomier toe box provides a slightly more generous fit compared to narrower athletic models.
Can I wear these in the rain?
While the wool is durable, it is not waterproof. We recommend applying a high-quality fabric protector spray to help repel moisture.
Is this a unisex model?
Yes, the BB950 is designed as a unisex trainer suitable for all genders.
What is the primary material used?
The upper is crafted from wool, which provides a distinct texture and breathable comfort.
Troubleshooting
Visible dust or lint on the wool upper
Use a specialized fabric lint roller or a soft-bristled garment brush to gently lift fibers.
Creasing near the toe box
Use a wooden shoe tree when not in use to help maintain the structure of the toe box and reduce fabric tension.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your New Balance 950s in optimal condition, treat the wool fabric with a water-repellent spray before initial wear to guard against light rain and dirt. For cleaning, avoid submerging them in water or using harsh detergents. Instead, use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove surface debris. For deeper stains, lightly dampen a cloth with a mild, wool-safe cleaner and dab the area. Always allow the trainers to air dry completely in a cool, shaded area, away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can cause the material to stiffen or warp.
