FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard UK sizing. If you have wide feet, you may prefer to try them on for the most comfortable fit.
Can I use these for basketball?
While based on basketball heritage, this model is designed for lifestyle and casual use rather than court performance.
How do I best clean the White Astro Dust colorway?
Use a specialized sneaker cleaner for leather and a soft brush. Keep the shoes dry and clean them immediately after they get muddy.
Is the leather genuine?
Yes, the product features high-quality leather construction for durability and style.
Are these suitable for wet weather?
Leather is somewhat resistant, but it is recommended to avoid heavy rain as prolonged moisture can damage the material and stitching.
Troubleshooting
Creasing in the leather toe box
Creasing is a natural characteristic of leather footwear. Use shoe trees when not wearing to help maintain the shape.
Surface stains on the white leather
Wipe gently with a soft cloth and a leather-safe cleaning foam. Never machine wash.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 550s remain in top condition, follow these guidelines:
- Initial Setup: Upon unboxing, ensure the laces are adjusted to your preferred tension. We recommend breaking them in slowly over a few days for optimal comfort.
- Compatibility: These trainers are standard UK sizes; however, since they are leather, they may offer a structured fit. Consider thin socks initially to allow the material to flex to your foot shape.
- Care Instructions: Clean the leather upper using a soft, damp cloth and mild soap solution. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners that may damage the finish. Allow to air dry naturally away from direct sunlight or high heat sources to prevent cracking.
