The uppers are made of leather with patent leather overlays. The midsole is made of foam, and the outsole is made of rubber.

Can I wear these for running?

While comfortable for everyday wear, the New Balance 550 is not specifically designed for running. Consider a running shoe for that purpose.

What's the best way to break in these shoes?

Troubleshooting

Loosen the laces or consider going up half a size if necessary.

Stains on the leather.

Use a leather cleaner and a soft cloth to gently remove the stain. Test the cleaner on a small, inconspicuous area first.

Clean the sole regularly with a brush and mild soap to remove any dirt or debris that may be affecting the grip.
