FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for running?

The New Balance 550 trainers are primarily designed for casual wear and light athletic activities. They are not optimized for high-impact running due to their construction and cushioning.

How do I choose the right size?

Refer to the New Balance sizing chart for accurate measurements. It is often recommended to try them on if possible, as fit can vary between individuals.

Can these trainers be worn in wet weather?

While the leather offers some protection, they are not waterproof. Avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain, and ensure they are dried thoroughly if they get wet.

What is the material of the trainers?

The upper of this specific model (BB550GD1) is primarily made of leather.

How should I clean the soles?

Use a damp cloth or a soft brush with mild soap and water to clean the soles. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the rubber.

What is the warranty period for these trainers?

Warranty information can vary by retailer. Please check the documentation provided with your purchase or contact the retailer directly for specific warranty details.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable

Wear them for short periods initially to allow the leather to break in. Consider using thicker socks during the break-in phase.

Laces loosening during wear

Ensure laces are tied securely using a double knot. Consider replacing laces with a grippier material if the issue persists.

Minor scuffs or marks on leather

Use a specialized leather cleaner and a soft cloth to gently remove marks. For deeper scuffs, a leather repair balm might be necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: The New Balance 550 trainers are designed for general adult male footwear. They are compatible with standard sock wear and are suitable for a wide range of casual and athletic activities.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: Wipe the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For stubborn marks, use a mild leather cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
  2. Drying: If the shoes get wet, stuff them with paper to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
