FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
The New Balance 950 typically fits standard, though the wide toe box may feel more spacious than traditional narrow trainers.
Can I use these for basketball?
While inspired by 80s basketball shoes, they are designed for lifestyle wear and do not provide the technical support required for competitive play.
How do I clean the beige leather?
Use a soft, dry brush to remove loose dirt and a specialized leather cleaner for tougher stains.
Are these unisex?
Yes, the New Balance 950 is designed as a unisex model suitable for all adult wearers.
What material are the shoes made of?
The upper is constructed primarily from high-quality leather.
Do they provide good arch support?
They offer standard support suitable for daily activity, though you can replace the insoles with custom orthotics if you require additional arch support.
Troubleshooting
Creasing in the leather upper
Use shoe trees when not wearing the trainers to help the material maintain its shape.
Scuffs on the beige leather
Gently buff the area with a leather-safe eraser or a matching color leather cream.
Laces coming undone frequently
Double-knot the laces or swap them for higher-friction laces if necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these are low-top leather trainers, they require minimal 'setup' beyond ensuring the proper lace tension for your foot width. To keep your New Balance 950 sneakers in top condition, follow these care guidelines: 1. Remove surface dirt with a soft brush or dry cloth after use. 2. For deeper cleaning, use a mild leather cleaner specifically designed for footwear. 3. Avoid machine washing or drying, as this can degrade the leather and adhesive integrity. 4. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the leather from cracking or discoloring.
