FAQs
Are the New Balance 950s true to size?
Yes, they generally fit standard adult sizing, though the wide toe box may feel more spacious than narrow performance shoes.
Can I use these for playing basketball?
While the 950 is inspired by basketball archives, it is a lifestyle shoe and lacks the technical support needed for competitive sports.
How should I clean the leather?
Wipe with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or submerging the shoes in water.
Is the material real leather?
Yes, the 950 features high-quality tumbled leather uppers.
Are these shoes suitable for wet weather?
The leather is durable, but it is recommended to apply a water-repellent spray if you plan to wear them in light rain.
Troubleshooting
Leather showing scuff marks
Use a specialized leather eraser or a soft brush to gently buff out surface scuffs and apply a leather conditioner.
Accumulated dirt in the outsole tread
Use a medium-bristle brush to remove debris from the grooves of the rubber outsole to restore traction.
Creasing in the toe box
Use a shoe tree when not wearing the shoes to help the leather maintain its shape and minimize deep creases.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 950 trainers stay in peak condition, store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can fade the leather over time. If the leather gets dirty, wipe it gently with a soft, slightly damp cloth and allow it to air dry naturally away from artificial heat sources. Do not machine wash these shoes, as the heat and moisture can damage the leather and the adhesives used in the construction. For long-term protection, consider using a specialized leather conditioner or water-repellent spray designed for tumbled leather to prevent moisture damage and cracking.
