Product Information
Full details
The New Balance 550 White Green is a versatile sneaker designed for adults who appreciate a blend of retro aesthetics and modern comfort. Featuring high-quality leather construction and a clean, low-profile silhouette, these trainers are ideal for everyday casual wear. While they offer excellent cushioning through an integrated EVA midsole, users should note that the predominantly white leather upper requires consistent maintenance to keep the crisp, vibrant finish looking brand new.

FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, the New Balance 550 series generally adheres to standard UK sizing. If you have wide feet, you may prefer a half-size up for extra room.
Can I wear these for sports?
These are lifestyle trainers. While comfortable for walking, they do not provide the specialized support or technical features required for gym or field sports.
How do I keep the white leather clean?
Wipe them down after each wear to prevent dirt from settling. Use a mild leather cleaner specifically designed for footwear.
Is the material waterproof?
The leather upper is water-resistant to a degree, but it is not waterproof. Avoid heavy rain to prevent staining and potential water damage to the leather.
Can I remove the insoles?
Yes, the insoles in most New Balance 550 models are removable, allowing you to replace them with custom orthotics if needed.
Troubleshooting
Leather surface shows signs of scuffing
Use a specialized leather eraser or a soft cloth with a tiny amount of leather conditioner to gently buff out minor scuffs.
Footbed feels less comfortable over time
Consider swapping in a fresh performance insole if the original EVA cushioning begins to compress after heavy, long-term use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
When you first receive your New Balance 550s, ensure the fit is snug but comfortable; the leather will slightly adapt to your foot shape over time. For sizing, these trainers generally follow standard adult UK sizing. To maintain the condition of your shoes, store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. To clean, use a soft-bristled brush to remove surface dust. For marks on the white leather, a damp cloth with a mild leather-safe cleaner is recommended. Avoid machine washing, as this can degrade the leather quality and adhesive bonds of the sole.
