FAQs

Are the New Balance 550 suitable for running?

The New Balance 550 is primarily designed as a lifestyle and casual wear sneaker. While they offer comfort for walking, they are not engineered for high-impact running or athletic performance.

How do I determine my correct size?

It is recommended to consult the New Balance size chart available on their website. Measuring your foot length and comparing it to the chart, or trying on the shoes in-store if possible, will help ensure the best fit.

Can I wear these sneakers in wet weather?

While the leather offers some protection, these sneakers are not waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to prevent damage and staining.

What is the material of the "N" logo?

The "N" logo on the sides is typically made of leather, matching or complementing the primary colors of the sneaker.

How often should I clean my New Balance 550s?

The frequency of cleaning depends on usage. For daily wear, a quick wipe-down after use can help prevent dirt buildup. A more thorough cleaning should be done as needed when visible dirt or stains appear.

Do these sneakers come in other colors?

The New Balance 550 model is available in a variety of colorways. The 'Vintage Indigo Beige' is one specific iteration of this popular series.

What is the return policy for New Balance sneakers?

Return policies vary by retailer. Please check the specific return policy of the store where you purchased the New Balance 550s.

Troubleshooting

Creasing on leather upper

Some creasing is natural with leather. To minimize it, ensure proper fit and consider using shoe trees when not in use.

Squeaking noise from soles

This can sometimes occur with new rubber soles. Try wearing them for a few more days, or a light dusting of talcum powder under the insole might help if the noise is internal.

Discoloration on beige leather

Use a dedicated leather cleaner for light colors and follow up with a protective balm. For deep stains, consult a professional shoe cleaner.

Loose threads or stitching

Carefully trim any loose threads with small scissors. If stitching is significantly unraveling, contact customer support.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup: The New Balance 550 sneakers are ready to wear right out of the box. Ensure you have selected the correct size for optimal comfort.

Compatibility: These sneakers are designed for general adult wear. They are compatible with a wide range of casual and smart-casual outfits.

Care:

  • Cleaning the Upper: Wipe the leather with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, use a mild leather cleaner specifically designed for cream and beige leathers. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
  • Cleaning the Soles: Use a brush or damp cloth to clean the rubber soles. Stubborn marks on the soles can often be removed with a magic eraser.
  • Laces: Remove laces and hand wash them separately with soap and water. Allow them to air dry completely before re-inserting.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, ideally in their original box or a shoe bag to maintain their shape and color.
