FAQs

Are the New Balance 650 suitable for playing basketball?

While inspired by basketball silhouettes, the New Balance 650 is primarily designed for lifestyle and casual wear. They offer decent support but may not provide the advanced cushioning or performance features required for serious athletic play.

How do I determine my correct size?

Refer to the New Balance sizing chart available on their official website. It's recommended to measure your foot length and compare it with the provided measurements for UK sizes.

Can I machine wash these trainers?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the leather, stitching, and overall structure of the shoe.

What is the warranty period for these shoes?

Warranty information typically varies by retailer and region. Please check the product packaging or contact the point of purchase for specific warranty details.

How does the 650 differ from the 550 model?

The 650 is presented as a premium counterpart to the 550, featuring a high-top silhouette and often enhanced detailing and materials, offering a more substantial presence compared to the lower-profile 550.

Are these trainers waterproof?

The leather upper offers some water resistance, but the shoes are not fully waterproof. For enhanced protection, consider applying a leather waterproofing spray.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or stiff.

Leather shoes often require a break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time. Consider using shoe stretchers if the tightness is persistent.

Squeaking sound when walking.

This can sometimes occur due to friction within the shoe. Ensure the laces are tied correctly and try inserting a thin insert or powder under the insole. Check for any loose parts, though this is rare with new shoes.

Leather showing scuffs or discoloration.

Address minor scuffs with a leather conditioner or a specialized leather cleaner. For significant discoloration, consult a professional shoe repair service.
