FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, the New Balance 550 generally fits true to size for most adults, though those with wider feet may prefer to verify their size against the provided UK sizing chart.
Can I put these trainers in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can cause permanent damage to the leather and the structure of the shoe. Use hand-cleaning methods instead.
Are these suitable for heavy exercise?
These are primarily lifestyle fashion trainers and are not designed for high-performance athletic activities like long-distance running.
How do I keep the white leather clean?
Wipe them regularly with a damp cloth and apply a leather-specific cleaner or protector to repel dirt and liquids.
What is the primary material of the upper?
The New Balance 550 features a durable leather upper for a classic, structured feel.
Troubleshooting
Creasing in the toe box
This is a natural occurrence with leather shoes; using shoe trees when not in use can help maintain the shape and minimize deep creases.
Surface stains on the white leather
Use a damp microfiber cloth with a gentle leather-safe soap to wipe away surface dirt. Avoid abrasive brushes.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 550 trainers last, proper care is essential. Given the white leather upper, it is recommended to use a protective water-repellent spray immediately after purchase. If the shoes become dirty, clean them using a soft cloth or a specialized leather cleaning solution; avoid machine washing, which can damage the material. For storage, keep them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the leather from cracking or the colour from yellowing.
