FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Most users find the New Balance 550 fits true to size, though the leather upper may feel slightly stiff before the break-in period.
Can I use these for running?
No, these are designed for casual lifestyle wear and lack the necessary technical support for running or heavy gym workouts.
How do I remove scuffs from the white leather?
A gentle eraser sponge or a soft cloth with a mild leather cleaner is usually effective for removing surface scuffs.
Are these unisex?
Yes, the New Balance 550 is categorized as a unisex trainer suitable for all genders.
Can I replace the insoles?
The insoles are generally removable, allowing you to insert custom orthotics if you require additional arch support.
Troubleshooting
Creasing on the toe box
This is common with leather sneakers; using shoe trees when not in use helps maintain shape and reduce deep creasing.
Difficulty keeping white leather clean
Apply a water-repellent spray designed for leather to create a protective barrier against dirt and minor spills.
Laces coming undone
Double-knot the laces or swap them for waxed cotton laces for a more secure, long-lasting tie.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Versatile, classic aesthetic suitable for most casual outfits
- Durable leather construction
- Consistent comfort provided by EVA cushioning
- Stable rubber cupsole for daily traction
Cons
- Not intended for high-intensity athletic performance
- Limited arch support compared to dedicated running silhouettes
- White leather requires regular cleaning to maintain its pristine appearance
Setup, Compatibility & Care
As a lace-up trainer, ensure a snug but comfortable fit across the midfoot by adjusting the laces upon first wear. To maintain the appearance of the leather, use a soft, dry brush to remove loose dirt after daily use. For deeper cleaning, wipe the leather surfaces with a damp cloth and mild soap; avoid fully submerging the shoes in water, as this can degrade the leather and adhesive integrity. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading of the green accents.
