FAQs
Are New Balance 550 sneakers true to size?

Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
While listed as machine washable, we recommend spot cleaning with a damp cloth to extend the life of the leather.
Are these shoes suitable for running?

Does the insole come out?
Yes, the insole is removable, which is helpful for cleaning or replacing with custom insoles.

Troubleshooting
Insole feels uncomfortable
Remove the factory insole and replace it with an orthotic or cushioned insert that better suits your arch type.
Creasing on the leather upper
Use shoe trees when not in use to help the leather maintain its shape and minimize deep creases.
Stains on the leather surface
Use a specialized leather cleaner or a soft damp cloth; avoid harsh chemical detergents.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 550 sneakers remain in top condition, follow these guidelines. When first trying on the shoes, ensure you wear the socks you plan to use daily to verify the fit is correct. For cleaning, while the materials are described as machine washable, it is generally recommended to clean leather surfaces by hand using a soft cloth and mild soap to preserve the material's finish. Avoid direct heat sources when drying, as high temperatures can warp the leather and synthetic components. Always keep the laces clean or replaced if they fray to maintain the integrity of the lacing system.
