FAQs

Are the New Balance 650 Trainers suitable for sports?

The New Balance 650 Trainers are primarily designed for lifestyle and casual wear. While they offer good support, they are not intended for high-performance athletic activities.

How do I determine my correct size?

It is recommended to check the New Balance size guide for precise measurements. If possible, try them on in-store, as sizing can vary between models.

What material is the upper made of?

The upper of the New Balance 650 Trainers is made of leather.

Can these trainers be worn in wet weather?

While the leather offers some protection, these trainers are not waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain and to use a leather protector spray for added resistance.

How do I clean the white leather?

Use a damp cloth with mild soap to gently wipe the white leather. For tougher stains, a dedicated leather cleaner can be used. Always allow the shoes to air dry naturally.

What is the main difference between the 650 and 550 models?

The 650 is a high-top version of the popular 550 model. The 650 offers a more pronounced ankle support and a distinct high-top silhouette compared to the lower-profile 550.

Are these trainers unisex?

Troubleshooting

Squeaking noise when walking

This can sometimes occur with new leather shoes. Try wearing them for a few more days to break them in, or check if the laces are too tight.

Leather creasing

Creasing is natural with leather. To minimize it, ensure the shoes fit correctly and consider using shoe trees when not in use.

Discoloration from scuffs

Gently clean the scuffed area with a damp cloth. For stubborn marks, use a specialized leather cleaner and follow up with a leather conditioner.
