FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
The New Balance 950 follows standard sizing, though the wide toe box may make them feel slightly more spacious than performance-focused running shoes.
Can I use these for playing basketball?
While inspired by 80s basketball shoes, the 950 is designed as a lifestyle trainer and lacks the technical support required for high-intensity court sports.
How do I clean the white leather?
Wipe down with a damp cloth and mild leather-safe cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals that could yellow or dry out the material.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
Yes, the intentionally wide toe box design makes them significantly more comfortable for those with wider feet compared to standard slim-profile sneakers.
Is the material waterproof?
The leather upper provides some resistance to light moisture, but these are not waterproof and should not be worn in heavy rain.
What is the secondary color?
The secondary color on this model is grey, which features in the branding accents and sole details.
Troubleshooting
Creasing in the leather toe area
This is normal for leather footwear; use shoe trees when not wearing to help maintain shape and minimize deep creases.
Difficulty keeping the white finish clean
Use a specialized leather cleaner or a magic eraser on the white outsole sides to remove scuffs and dirt buildup.
Sizing feels too loose or tight
Ensure your laces are adjusted evenly; if the fit remains uncomfortable, consider replacing the factory insole with an orthotic insert.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 950 trainers maintain their aesthetic, it is recommended to treat the leather with a protective spray before the first wear to repel moisture and dirt. For routine maintenance, wipe the leather with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or placing them in a washing machine, as this can damage the structural integrity and finish. Store in a cool, dry area away from direct sunlight to prevent discoloration of the white leather.
