FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?

What material are the New Balance 550 'White Vintage Indigo' made of?
These trainers feature a primary upper constructed from durable leather, with accents in the 'Vintage Indigo' colourway.
How should I clean my leather trainers?
Use a soft, damp cloth for general cleaning. For deeper cleaning, a mild soap solution and a soft brush can be used, followed by wiping with a damp cloth and air drying.

Can I wear these trainers 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. Applying a leather protector spray can offer some resistance.
How does the 'Vintage Indigo' colour look in person?
The 'Vintage Indigo' is a deep, classic shade of blue that provides a striking contrast to the clean white of the trainers, offering a retro appeal.
Troubleshooting
Initial stiffness or discomfort
Wear the trainers for short periods initially to allow the leather to break in and mold to your foot. Ensure you have the correct size and that laces are adjusted properly.
Squeaking sound
This can sometimes occur between the tongue and laces or due to moisture. Try adjusting the laces or ensuring the shoes are completely dry.
Dirt accumulation on white leather
Wipe immediately with a damp cloth. For tougher spots, use a leather cleaner specifically designed for white leather and a soft brush.
