FAQs
What materials are the New Balance 550 trainers made from?
These trainers feature a combination of leather and mesh for the upper, with a durable rubber outsole.
Are these trainers suitable for running?
The New Balance 550 trainers are designed primarily for lifestyle and casual wear. While they offer comfort and traction for walking, they are not engineered for high-impact running or specialized athletic activities.
How do I ensure a proper fit?
Utilize the adjustable lace closure to customize the tightness. Ensure your heel is secure and there is enough room in the toe box without the shoe feeling loose.
What does the 'Shifted Sport Pack' refer to?
This refers to a specific collection or colorway of the New Balance 550 that incorporates distinctive color accents and design elements inspired by sports aesthetics.
When were these trainers released?

Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
While the leather offers some protection, the mesh components are not waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to preserve the materials.
Troubleshooting
Shoe feels too tight
Loosen the laces and readjust for a more comfortable fit. Ensure you have selected the correct size. If still tight, consider thicker socks might not be suitable.
Squeaking noise during walking
This can sometimes occur due to friction between components. Try inserting a powder (like talcum powder) under the insole or check if the laces are too tight.
Discoloration of materials
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can fade colors. Clean the shoes regularly according to care instructions to prevent dirt buildup from causing discoloration.
