FAQs

How do I ensure the best fit for my New Balance 550s?

Measure your foot length and compare it with the New Balance sizing chart. Adjust the laces for a snug fit. If unsure between sizes, consider the feedback of others or try them on if possible.

Are these trainers suitable for running?

These trainers are designed for everyday wear and offer comfort and durability for casual activities. They are not specialized for high-impact running and may lack the specific cushioning and support required for intensive athletic training.

How should I clean the different materials (leather, mesh, synthetic)?

Use a soft brush or damp cloth to gently clean the leather and synthetic parts. For mesh areas, a mild soap and water solution can be used carefully. Always allow the shoes to air dry completely.

What is the primary material of the upper?

The upper is constructed from a combination of leather, synthetic fabric, and mesh to ensure durability and a sporty aesthetic.

Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?

While the rubber sole offers some protection, the upper materials are not fully waterproof. It is recommended to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to prolong their lifespan and maintain comfort.

What does the '550' series signify?

The '550' series typically refers to a specific design line from New Balance, often inspired by classic basketball shoe styles, adapted for modern lifestyle wear.

Troubleshooting

Laces do not stay tied

Ensure laces are tied using a secure double knot. Consider replacing worn-out laces.

Discomfort after extended wear

Verify the fit is correct and laces are adjusted appropriately. Ensure socks worn are suitable for trainers.

Reduced grip on slippery surfaces

Clean the rubber sole to remove any debris that might be affecting traction. The rubber sole provides grip on most common surfaces.

Upper material shows signs of wear

Follow the recommended cleaning and care instructions. Avoid abrasive cleaning methods.
