Yes, the New Balance 550 generally fits true to size for most adults, though those with wider feet may prefer to go up a half size.
No, machine washing can damage the leather and the adhesives used in the construction of the shoe.
While leather provides some resistance to light moisture, these trainers are not waterproof and should not be submerged or worn in heavy rain.
Store them in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to prevent the leather from drying out or fading.
These are lifestyle trainers inspired by basketball shoes; they are designed for casual wear rather than intense, competitive athletic performance.
Clean the surface with a soft cloth dampened with mild soapy water, then wipe dry immediately.
Ensure the laces are loosened during the first few wears to allow the leather to adapt to the shape of your foot.
This is a natural occurrence with genuine leather footwear; using cedar shoe trees when not in use can help maintain the shape.
Getting the most out of your New Balance 550s starts with ensuring the proper size and fit. Since these are leather trainers, it is recommended to wear them with medium-thickness cotton socks to maximize comfort during the initial break-in period. To keep your trainers in optimal condition, wipe the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth after each use to remove surface dust or dirt. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners, as these can damage the leather finish. If the trainers get wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can cause the leather to crack or stiffen. Periodically check the laces for wear and replace them to maintain the shoe's structural integrity and aesthetic appeal.
