FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for sports?
While designed for comfort and style, the New Balance 650 trainers are primarily intended for casual wear and everyday activities. They may not offer the specific support or performance features required for intense athletic training.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Try them on with the type of socks you would typically wear. Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe. The heel should feel secure without slipping.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the leather and adhesives, affecting the shoe's structure and appearance.
What is the main difference between the 650 and other New Balance models?
The 650 is a high-top trainer, offering more ankle coverage and support compared to low-top models. It features a classic design often inspired by retro basketball silhouettes.
How should I store these trainers when not in use?
Store them in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees or stuffing them with acid-free paper can help maintain their shape.
Is the white colour difficult to keep clean?
White leather requires regular cleaning to maintain its appearance. Following the care instructions for wiping with a damp cloth and using appropriate leather cleaners will help manage dirt and scuffs.
Troubleshooting
Laces fraying or breaking
Replace laces with a similar length and material. Consider waxing laces for increased durability.
Leather scuffing or marking
Use a leather eraser or a specialized leather cleaner for minor marks. For deeper scuffs, professional leather restoration may be needed.
Squeaking noise from soles
Ensure the outsole is clean and dry. If the squeaking persists, it may indicate an internal issue and professional assessment might be required.

Compatibility: The New Balance 650 trainers are designed for adult unisex footwear. They pair well with casual attire, including jeans, shorts, and athletic wear.
Care:
- Cleaning: Wipe the leather upper with a slightly damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, use a dedicated leather cleaner, testing on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid soaking the shoes.
