FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
No, the New Balance 550 Trainers are designed for casual wear and lifestyle purposes, not for athletic performance activities like running.
How do I clean the white leather parts?
Use a damp cloth and mild soap or a specialized leather cleaner. Avoid soaking the shoes or using abrasive materials.
What is the best way to store these trainers?
Store them in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, ideally in their original box or a breathable shoe bag to prevent dust accumulation and maintain their shape.
Do these trainers run true to size?
Generally, the New Balance 550 series runs true to size. However, if you are between sizes, it is often recommended to size up for a more comfortable fit, especially considering the leather material.
Can these trainers be worn in wet weather?
While the leather offers some protection, these trainers are not waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain can damage the leather and affect the shoe's structure. It's best to avoid wearing them in very wet conditions.
What is the primary material used in these trainers?
The primary material used for the upper of these trainers is leather.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable
Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow the leather to break in and mold to your foot. Consider wearing thicker socks during the break-in phase.
Leather scuffs or marks appear
Gently clean the affected area with a damp cloth. For more stubborn marks, use a dedicated leather cleaner and a soft cloth, testing in an inconspicuous area first.
Laces come undone frequently
Ensure the laces are tied securely with a double knot if necessary. Consider replacing the original laces with ones that offer better grip.
Soles show signs of wear
Rotate the use of these trainers with other footwear to reduce the wear on the soles. For significant wear, consult a cobbler for potential resoling options.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These trainers require no specific setup beyond wearing them. Ensure you have the correct size for optimal comfort.
Compatibility: The New Balance 550 Trainers are designed for adult male wearers and are compatible with most casual attire. They are best suited for daily wear and light activities.
Care: To maintain the appearance and longevity of your trainers:
- Cleaning: Use a soft brush or damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For tougher stains on the leather, a specialized leather cleaner may be used sparingly.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources. Stuffing them with paper can help them retain their shape.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag or their original box to protect them from dust and damage.
