FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for sports?

While inspired by basketball shoes, the New Balance 650 are primarily designed for casual wear and everyday use, not for professional athletic performance.

How do I know if I have the right size?

Refer to the New Balance sizing chart and compare it with your UK foot measurement. Ensure a snug but comfortable fit without tightness.

Can I machine wash these trainers?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the leather and sole construction. Hand wash using a damp cloth and mild cleaners.

What is the main difference between 650 and other New Balance models?

The 650 model is characterized by its high-top silhouette and design influenced by classic basketball sneakers, differentiating it from lower-profile or running-focused models.

How durable is the rubber sole?

The rubber sole is designed for durability in everyday use, providing good traction and resistance to wear. However, excessive use on abrasive surfaces can accelerate wear.

What does 'MPN' stand for?

MPN stands for Manufacturer Part Number, which is a unique identifier for the product model.

Is the 'White | Black | White' colour description accurate?

Yes, this typically indicates the primary color (White), secondary color (Black), and potentially another accent or sole color (White).

Troubleshooting

Leather creasing significantly

Natural leather will crease with wear. To minimize deep creases, ensure proper fit and consider using shoe trees for storage.

Laces becoming worn

Replace worn laces with new ones of a similar length. Standard trainer laces are widely available.

Soles showing wear

Regular cleaning of the sole can prevent debris build-up. For significant wear, consult a shoe repair specialist for potential sole replacement options.

Discoloration on white leather

Use a specialized white leather cleaner or a magic eraser for scuffs. Protect with a suitable spray to prevent future staining.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These trainers require no specific setup beyond lacing them up to your preferred fit. Ensure you select the correct UK size for optimal comfort.

Compatibility: The New Balance 650 trainers are designed for unisex adult wear and are compatible with a wide range of casual outfits. They pair well with jeans, shorts, and athletic-inspired apparel.

Care: To maintain the appearance and longevity of your leather trainers:

  1. Cleaning: Gently wipe the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For stubborn marks, use a mild leather cleaner.
  2. Drying: If the shoes get wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources.
  3. Protection: Consider using a leather protectant spray to shield against water and stains.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag or their original box, to prevent dust and maintain shape.
