FAQs
Are the New Balance 950 shoes true to size?
Yes, they generally fit true to size, though the wide toe box provides a slightly more accommodating fit than narrower performance models.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
No, do not machine wash leather footwear as it can damage the material and the adhesive bonds.
Is the leather upper waterproof?
The leather is not waterproof, but you can apply a water-repellent spray to provide a basic layer of protection against light rain.
What is the primary material used for the upper?
The upper is constructed from premium tumbled leather with tonal overlays.
Are these shoes suitable for high-intensity sports?
While based on basketball history, these are designed as lifestyle sneakers and are not intended for competitive athletic play.
Troubleshooting
Creasing on the toe box
Use a shoe tree when not in use to maintain the shoe's shape and minimize deep creases.
Difficulty cleaning light surface dirt
Use a specialized leather cleaning solution applied with a soft-bristled brush or clean microfiber cloth.
Laces becoming untied frequently
Ensure the laces are threaded through all eyelets and try a double knot if the material remains slippery.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For the best initial fit, ensure you select your standard UK sizing, as the 950 features a standard wide toe box profile. Because the upper is crafted from tumbled leather, it is important to treat the shoes with a leather protectant spray before the first wear to guard against moisture and stains. For ongoing care, use a soft, dry cloth to wipe away surface dust. If the shoes become damp, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, which can cause the leather to crack.
