Are the New Balance 550 trainers suitable for running?
The New Balance 550 trainers are primarily designed for casual wear and light athletic activities. They are not optimized for high-impact running due to their construction and cushioning.
How do I determine my correct size?
Refer to the New Balance size chart for accurate measurements. It is also recommended to read customer reviews regarding sizing or try them on if possible, as some users find them to run slightly small or large.
Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?

Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you have selected the correct size. Try adjusting the laces. If discomfort persists after a break-in period, consider using thicker socks or insoles.
Traction is poor on certain surfaces
The rubber outsole provides good traction, but performance can vary on very wet or slippery surfaces. Ensure the outsole is clean and free from debris.
Leather shows minor scuffs or marks
Gently wipe away fresh scuffs with a damp cloth. For more persistent marks, use a leather cleaner or a shoe cream matching the color of the trainers.
