FAQs
Are the New Balance 550 suitable for running marathons?
The New Balance 550 is designed for casual wear and light athletic activities, offering good cushioning and support. For marathon running, specialized running shoes with advanced cushioning and support systems are recommended.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Ensure there is a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe. The shoe should feel snug but not tight, with no heel slippage.
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 or wet conditions to prevent damage and keep your feet dry.
What is the primary material of the upper?
The upper is primarily constructed from leather, providing durability and a classic aesthetic.
How do the green accents differ from the white?
The green accents are typically found on the branding elements, heel counter, and sole details, providing a contrast to the main white upper.
Are these trainers unisex?
This specific model, the 'Shifted Sport Pack Green', is listed as a men's trainer. However, the 550 silhouette is popular across genders, and sizing can often be adapted.
Troubleshooting
Squeaking noise when walking
This can sometimes occur due to friction between parts. Try wearing thicker socks or applying a small amount of powder inside the shoe.
Tight fit upon first wear
Leather trainers may require a break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase the duration. Wearing them with medium-weight socks can also help stretch them slightly.
Discoloration on the white leather
Clean immediately with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
