FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
Yes, the 550 series is designed with advanced cushioning and a supportive structure, making them well-suited for general running and active play.
How do I determine the right size?
The New Balance 550s follow standard UK children's sizing; ensure there is enough room for natural toe movement without the heel slipping.
Can these be machine washed?
It is recommended to avoid machine washing as it can compromise the structural integrity and cushioning properties of the trainers.
Are they water-resistant?
While the robust upper offers some protection, they are not waterproof; avoid deep puddles to maintain the material quality.
Does the rubber sole provide good grip?

Troubleshooting
Laces coming undone during activity
Double-knot the laces or swap for elasticized no-tie laces for a more secure, consistent fit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your New Balance 550 trainers, it is essential to keep them clean. Remove surface dirt with a soft brush after outdoor play. If the shoes become damp, air-dry them away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can degrade the cushioning materials. Ensure the fit is appropriate for the child's foot by checking for a thumb-width of space in the toe box. These shoes are compatible with standard athletic socks; avoid wearing thick, non-breathable materials to prevent moisture buildup inside the trainer.
