FAQs

Is the New Balance 950 suitable for wide feet?

Yes, the model is specifically noted for its wide toe box design, which accommodates various foot shapes comfortably.

Can these be used for professional basketball?

No, while the 950 is inspired by 80s basketball shoes, it is designed as a lifestyle shoe for casual, everyday wear.

How should I clean the leather upper?

Use a damp cloth with mild soap or a dedicated leather cleaner. Avoid using harsh chemicals or washing machines.

Are these shoes unisex?

Yes, the New Balance 950 is designed as a unisex model.

Does the leather stretch over time?

Leather will naturally soften and contour to your foot shape with consistent wear, but it does not stretch significantly in size.

What is the best way to prevent creasing?

Using shoe trees when the shoes are not being worn helps maintain the structural integrity of the leather and reduces deep creases.

Troubleshooting

The leather feels stiff after initial wear

Leather requires a break-in period. Wear them for short durations or use a leather conditioner to soften the material over time.

Surface scuffs on the upper

Gently buff the scuff marks with a soft cloth or a specialized leather eraser to restore the finish.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To keep your New Balance 950s in top condition, follow these guidelines:

  1. Break-in Period: Leather uppers may feel stiff initially; wear them for short durations to allow the material to adapt to your foot shape.
  2. Cleaning: Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt and a damp cloth with mild leather cleaner for surface marks. Avoid submerging in water.
  3. Storage: Keep your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent leather fading and cracking.
  4. Protection: Consider applying a leather protectant spray to repel water and stains, ensuring it is compatible with smooth leather finishes.
  5. Maintenance: Insert shoe trees when not in use to help the leather retain its shape and minimize deep creasing at the forefoot.
