FAQs
How do I determine my correct shoe size?
Measure the length of your foot from the heel's most protruding point to the tip of your longest toe. Compare this measurement to the size chart provided. If your foot length falls between two sizes, it is recommended to choose the larger size. Always refer to the EU sizing.
Are these shoes suitable for playing basketball professionally?
The New Balance 550 is inspired by classic basketball shoes and offers decent support for casual wear. However, they are not designed as high-performance basketball shoes for professional play. For intense athletic activity, specialized footwear is recommended.
What is the primary material of the New Balance 550?
The primary material for the upper of these trainers is leather, contributing to their durability and premium appearance. The outsole is made of rubber for traction.
Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?
While the leather can offer some resistance, these shoes are not waterproof. Avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain. Ensure they are properly dried if they get wet.
What does the 'BB550PWC' code signify?
This code, MPN (Manufacturer Part Number), is a unique identifier for this specific model and colorway of the New Balance 550.
What is the return policy if the shoes do not fit?
Please refer to the retailer's specific return policy for details on exchanges or returns due to sizing issues. Ensure you follow their guidelines for product condition upon return.
How should I clean the white and green colorway?
Use a damp cloth for general cleaning. For tougher spots on the white leather, a specialized leather cleaner for white shoes can be used. Clean the green accents with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth to avoid color transfer.
Troubleshooting
Sizing feels incorrect.
Ensure you have accurately measured your foot length according to the guide. If your measurement falls between sizes, opt for the larger size. Remember to order based on your usual EU size as indicated.
Shoes feel stiff initially.
Leather shoes often require a break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time. Gentle flexing of the shoe can also help.
Discoloration or scuffs on leather.
Use a leather cleaner and conditioner specifically designed for white and colored leather. Apply sparingly with a soft cloth and buff gently.
Traction feels slippery on wet surfaces.
The rubber outsole provides good traction, but like all footwear, grip may be reduced on extremely wet or slick surfaces. Exercise caution in such conditions.
