FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for sports?

The New Balance 650R are designed primarily for casual wear and everyday use. While they offer good support for walking, they are not optimized for high-impact athletic activities like running or basketball.

How do I determine my correct size?

Refer to the New Balance sizing chart available on their official website or consult with a retailer. Ensure your heel is snug and there is adequate space in the toe box.

What is the difference between the 650R and the 550?

The 650R is a higher-cut, premium counterpart to the popular 550, offering a more substantial silhouette and often featuring premium materials, while both draw inspiration from 80s on-court designs.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

The leather upper offers some resistance to light moisture, but these shoes are not waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to protect the leather.

How do I care for the leather upper?

Regularly wipe with a damp cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a leather cleaner. Periodically apply a leather conditioner to keep the material supple and prevent drying. Protect with a suitable spray.

Is this product guaranteed to be original?

Yes, this product is guaranteed to be 100% original and genuine, and comes in its original packaging.

What is the outsole made of?

The outsole is made of durable rubber, providing reliable traction and longevity for everyday wear.

Troubleshooting

Squeaking sound when walking

This can sometimes occur with new leather shoes. Try wearing them more frequently to break them in, or apply a small amount of talcum powder to the insole or where the tongue rubs against the shoe.

Leather appears dry or creased

Apply a small amount of leather conditioner specifically designed for footwear. Gently rub it into the leather with a soft cloth and allow it to absorb. Avoid over-conditioning.

Laces are difficult to tie tightly

Ensure the laces are threaded correctly through the eyelets. If the laces are worn, consider replacing them with a new pair of suitable length and material.

Discoloration on white leather

Use a specialized white leather cleaner or a magic eraser gently on the affected areas. For stubborn marks, professional cleaning might be necessary.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning: Wipe the leather upper with a clean, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, use a dedicated leather cleaner, following product instructions carefully. Avoid soaking the shoes.
  • Drying: If the shoes get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the leather.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
  • Protection: Consider using a leather protector spray to guard against water and stains.
