Product Information
Full details
The New Balance 950 is an ideal choice for adults seeking a versatile, court-inspired sneaker that bridges the gap between mid-80s basketball heritage and modern daily wear. Its primary benefit is the wide toe box design, which provides exceptional comfort for extended periods, though the all-leather construction may require a brief break-in period compared to lighter mesh alternatives.

FAQs
Are the New Balance 950s suitable for wide feet?
Yes, the 950 series is specifically designed with a wide toe box, which is generally more accommodating for wider foot shapes.
Can I use these for basketball?
While the 950 is inspired by 80s basketball court style, it is classified as a lifestyle trainer and not intended for competitive sports or heavy athletic activity.
How do I determine my size?
The New Balance 950 generally fits true to size. We recommend choosing your standard UK adult shoe size.
What is the primary material used?
The upper is constructed primarily of durable leather, offering a structured feel and classic look.
Are the insoles removable?
The insoles are generally removable, allowing for the use of custom orthotics if required.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight initially
Leather requires a break-in period; wear them for short durations indoors to allow the material to soften and conform to your foot.
Scuffs appearing on the leather surface
Use a leather conditioner or a matching shoe cream to buff out minor surface scuffs and restore the finish.
Material feels stiff after storage
Use a high-quality leather cream to rehydrate the material and restore flexibility.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 950 trainers maintain their appearance, use a dedicated leather cleaner or a slightly damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt. Avoid machine washing or drying, as high heat can damage the leather and the adhesives used in the outsole construction. When fitting, ensure you are wearing the type of socks you intend to use daily, as the leather material offers minimal stretch over time. Store the shoes in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to prevent the leather from cracking or fading.
