FAQs
Are New Balance 950 trainers true to size?
Yes, they generally fit true to size. The inclusion of a wide toe box allows for a comfortable fit even if you have slightly broader feet.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
No. Machine washing can damage the leather upper and weaken the adhesives used in the construction. Stick to manual cleaning.
Are these shoes suitable for gym workouts?
While they are inspired by basketball, they are designed as lifestyle sneakers. They are best for walking and casual wear rather than specialized athletic training.
Do these shoes offer arch support?
They feature a standard footbed design suitable for daily wear, though individuals with specific orthopedic needs may choose to swap the insole.
How do I maintain the white color?
Regularly wipe them down with a damp cloth after use and store them out of direct sunlight to prevent yellowing of the materials.
Troubleshooting
The leather feels stiff after initial wear
Wear the shoes with thicker socks for short durations indoors to help stretch and soften the leather naturally.
Scuff marks on the white leather
Use a specialized sneaker cleaner or a mild soap solution on a soft cloth to gently buff out surface scuffs.
Outer sole losing traction
Check the outsole for lodged debris; use a small brush to clean the treads if they become packed with dirt.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these are leather shoes, they are ready to wear out of the box, but you may notice a 'stiff' feel initially. Wearing them for shorter periods during the first week will allow the leather to flex and mold to your foot shape. To keep them looking fresh, avoid submerging them in water. Use a damp cloth to wipe away dirt from the leather upper and a soft-bristled brush to remove dust from the outsole. We recommend using a leather-safe conditioner periodically to prevent cracking and keeping them away from extreme heat sources to maintain the integrity of the material.
