FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
No, the New Balance 950 is designed as a lifestyle and casual trainer. It does not contain the advanced cushioning and stability technology required for long-distance running.
Does the leather require waterproofing?
While the leather has some natural resistance, applying a water-repellent spray designed for leather can protect the shoes from stains and light rain.
Are these unisex?
Yes, the New Balance 950 is designed as a unisex model, fitting a wide range of adult foot shapes.
How do I find my size in the 950 series?
New Balance sizing is generally consistent with standard adult sizing. If you have worn New Balance heritage models before, the 950 fits true to size.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the provided insoles are removable, allowing you to insert custom orthotics if preferred.
Troubleshooting
Leather looks dull or loses its shine
Apply a high-quality leather cream or conditioner to restore the natural moisture and sheen of the material.
Creasing at the toe box
Creasing is natural in leather footwear; using shoe trees when not in use can help maintain the shape and minimize deep wrinkles.
Slightly stiff fit upon first wear
Leather shoes often require a 'break-in' period. Wear them for short durations indoors initially to allow the material to adapt to the shape of your foot.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 950 trainers last, keep them away from harsh cleaning chemicals. As they are constructed from leather, avoid submerging them in water or using a washing machine.
- Cleaning: Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt or debris from the upper. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth with a mild leather cleaner specifically designed for lifestyle footwear.
- Storage: Keep your shoes in a cool, dry area away from direct sunlight, which can fade the brown leather over time.
- Care: We recommend applying a leather conditioner periodically to prevent cracking and keep the material supple.
- Compatibility: The neutral brown tone pairs excellently with denim, chinos, and casual cargo trousers, making them a staple for autumn and winter wardrobes.
