FAQs

Are these shoes unisex?

Yes, the New Balance 950 is designed as a unisex shoe, making it suitable for all adults.

Does the leather require special maintenance?

Regularly wipe with a damp cloth and apply a leather protector spray to maintain the material's integrity.

How does the fit compare to standard athletic trainers?

The 950 features a wide toe box, which generally provides a more spacious fit in the front compared to performance running shoes.

Can I use these for playing competitive basketball?

While inspired by basketball, these are lifestyle shoes and are not designed for the rigors of competitive court sports.

How do I choose the right size?

New Balance typically follows standard sizing; however, since these are leather, we recommend choosing your normal size, noting that the wide toe box may feel roomier than synthetic mesh shoes.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel tight across the midfoot

Loosen the lacing system significantly and wear thin socks during the break-in period to allow the leather to expand.

Scuffs appearing on the leather

Use a leather conditioner or a color-matched cream polish to restore the finish and buff gently with a clean cloth.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable leather material ensures longevity
  • Wide toe box design accommodates a more comfortable fit
  • Timeless, court-inspired aesthetic remains fashionable

Cons

  • Leather material may require a brief break-in period

  • Specific sizing selection needed due to leather construction

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your New Balance 950 shoes stay in optimal condition:

  • Breaking In: Wear them for short durations indoors initially to allow the leather to adapt to your foot shape.
  • Cleaning: Use a soft-bristle brush to remove surface dust. For stubborn stains, use a damp cloth with mild leather cleaner. Do not submerge the shoes in water.
  • Storage: Keep away from direct heat sources to prevent the leather from cracking or drying out.
  • Protection: Consider using a leather-safe water and stain repellent spray to extend the life of the finish.
