FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, the New Balance 550 generally fits true to your standard UK shoe size.
Can I use these for running?
While durable, these are lifestyle trainers and are not designed for long-distance running or high-impact athletic performance.
How do I maintain the white colour?
Regularly wipe the leather clean with a damp cloth and apply a protective leather spray to help repel dirt.
Are they suitable for wide feet?
The rounded toe box provides decent room, though those with very wide feet may find the leather structure quite firm at first.
What material is the upper made of?
The upper is constructed primarily from high-quality leather.
Troubleshooting
The leather feels stiff initially
Wear them for short periods around the house to allow the leather to naturally break in and soften.
Stains appearing on the white leather
Use a specialized leather cleaning wipe or a mixture of water and a very small amount of mild soap to gently buff the area.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 550 trainers remain in top condition, follow these guidelines:
- Sizing: These shoes fit true to size. Ensure you select the appropriate UK adult sizing for a secure fit.
- Cleaning: Wipe the leather surface with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a mild leather cleaner specifically designed for footwear.
- Storage: Keep your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the leather from cracking or discolouring.
- Maintenance: Avoid submerging the shoes in water or putting them in a washing machine, as this can damage the structural integrity and leather finish.
