FAQs
Is the New Balance 950 true to size?
Yes, it generally runs true to standard adult sizing, though the wide toe box may provide a slightly roomier fit than other performance models.
Can I use these for basketball?
While inspired by basketball designs, this is a lifestyle sneaker and does not contain the advanced cushioning or support required for competitive play.
Are these shoes unisex?
Yes, the model is designed as a unisex sneaker, though sizing is listed in standard UK adult formats.
How do I protect the leather from rain?
Applying a high-quality water and stain repellent spray specifically formulated for leather will help protect the material from light moisture.
Does the wide toe box make the shoe look bulky?
No, the design is carefully balanced so the wide toe box provides comfort without compromising the sleek, low-profile silhouette.
Troubleshooting
Creasing in the leather toe area
Use a shoe tree when not in use to help the leather maintain its shape and reduce depth of creases.
Scuff marks on leather
Use a matching brown leather polish or a neutral leather balm to buff out light scuffs and restore the finish.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these shoes are made of leather, immediate setup involves ensuring a proper fit; consider trying them on with the type of socks you intend to wear most often. For compatibility, their neutral brown tone allows them to pair easily with denim, chinos, or casual trousers. To care for your 950s, use a dry brush to remove surface dust regularly. For deeper cleaning, apply a leather-specific cleaner and follow up with a conditioner to maintain the leather’s suppleness and color integrity. Avoid machine washing or drying, as high heat can damage the leather and the adhesives used in the outsole.
