FAQs

Are the New Balance 950 trainers true to size?

Yes, they generally fit true to size, but the wide toe box may make them feel more spacious than standard performance running shoes.

Can I use these for playing basketball?

While inspired by 1980s basketball design, these are lifestyle trainers and are not equipped with the advanced technical cushioning required for competitive sports.

How do I best clean the leather upper?

Use a damp, soft cloth to wipe down the exterior. For tougher stains, use a dedicated leather cleaner and avoid soaking the leather.

Are these shoes unisex?

Yes, the New Balance 950 is designed as a unisex model to accommodate various foot widths and styles.

Is the leather material waterproof?

The leather is water-resistant to a degree but should not be considered waterproof. Avoid heavy exposure to water to prevent damage to the material.

Troubleshooting

Leather showing scuffs or marks

Use a gentle leather eraser or a damp cloth with mild soap; always test on an inconspicuous area first.

Shoes feel too loose

Adjust the lacing system to be tighter across the midfoot, or consider using a high-quality insole for added volume.

  • Not intended for high-intensity athletic performance despite the court-inspired design

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your New Balance 950 trainers stay in peak condition, perform the following steps for maintenance:

  1. Cleaning: Wipe the leather surface with a soft, dry cloth to remove loose dirt.
  2. Stains: Use a specialized leather cleaner applied to a clean cloth rather than applying directly to the shoe.
  3. Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can cause the leather to dry out or crack.
  4. Protection: Consider using a leather conditioner every few months to maintain flexibility and appearance.

Ensure proper sizing by measuring your feet in the evening, as feet often swell throughout the day, ensuring the best fit within the 950 series wide profile.
