FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, the New Balance 550 generally fits true to size, though the leather upper may feel snug initially.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, it is not recommended to machine wash leather shoes, as water and heavy tumbling can damage the material and structure.
What is the best way to clean white leather?
Use a dedicated leather cleaner and a soft microfiber cloth to wipe away dirt after each use.
Are these suitable for sports?
While based on a basketball silhouette, these are lifestyle trainers and are best suited for walking and casual daily use rather than high-impact sports.
Does the leather stretch over time?
Leather will soften and mold to your foot shape with regular wear, providing a more personalized fit as they break in.
How do I ensure I have the right size?
Measure your feet at the end of the day when they are at their largest, and refer to the New Balance sizing guide for the most accurate fit.
Troubleshooting
Leather looks scuffed or marked
Use a specialized leather eraser or a soft cloth with a tiny amount of leather-safe cleaner to buff out scuffs gently.
Shoes feel too tight during first wear
Loosen the laces across the entire shoe to relieve pressure, and wear slightly thinner socks until the leather softens.
White finish losing brightness
Ensure you are using a white-specific shoe cleaner or mild soap solution and allow them to air dry naturally in the shade.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 550 trainers last, consider these tips:
- Breaking In: Wear them for short durations initially to allow the leather to soften and mold to your feet.
- Cleaning: Use a soft, dry brush to remove loose dirt. For deeper stains, use a mild leather cleaner or a damp cloth with gentle soap, avoiding harsh chemicals that may yellow the leather.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the white material from discoloring or the leather from drying out.
- Weather: Avoid wearing these in heavy rain or mud, as water and dirt can leave permanent marks on the white leather surface.
