FAQs

Are the New Balance 650 trainers suitable for playing basketball?

While inspired by basketball shoes, the 650s are primarily designed as a lifestyle and casual wear sneaker. They offer support and durability for everyday activities but may not provide the advanced performance features or cushioning required for competitive play.

How do I clean the white leather upper?

For the white leather upper, use a soft cloth slightly dampened with water and mild soap. For tougher stains, a specialized white leather cleaner is recommended. Always wipe in a consistent direction and ensure the shoes are air-dried completely.

What is the best way to store these trainers?

Store your 650 trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape and prevent excessive creasing. Avoid stacking them directly on top of each other if possible.

Do these trainers run true to size?

Generally, New Balance trainers aim for a true-to-size fit. However, due to the high-top design and leather construction, some users find they benefit from trying them on or considering a slightly larger size if they prefer more room or have wider feet, especially during the break-in period.

Can I wear these with different colored socks?

Yes, the white and black colorway is highly versatile and pairs well with a wide range of sock colors. Whether you choose to match your socks to the shoes, your outfit, or go for a contrasting color, they are designed to be adaptable.

What does the 'R' in some model numbers like 650R signify?

The 'R' typically denotes a specific iteration or update of the original model. For the 650 series, the 'R' models often represent refinements in materials, construction, or aesthetic details compared to earlier versions, while maintaining the core design.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel tight or stiff

This is common with new leather shoes. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time to allow them to break in and conform to your foot shape. Consider using thicker socks during the break-in period.

Squeaking sound when walking

Squeaking can sometimes occur due to friction between shoe components. Try applying a small amount of talcum powder or cornstarch under the insole or around the tongue area. Ensure laces are tied consistently.

Leather creasing heavily

Creasing is natural for leather. To minimize deep creases, ensure proper fit and consider using shoe trees when storing them. Avoid over-tightening laces in the same spots repeatedly.

Discoloration on white leather

Use a dedicated leather cleaner suitable for white leather. For minor scuffs, a magic eraser can be used gently on the rubber sole and midsole. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Stylish, versatile design suitable for everyday wear.
  • Durable leather construction for longevity.
  • Comfortable padded collar for ankle support.
  • Classic basketball-inspired aesthetic.
  • Reliable traction from the rubber sole.

Cons

  • May require a break-in period for optimal comfort.
  • High-top design might not be preferred by everyone.
  • Leather material may require specific care to maintain appearance.
  • Less cushioning compared to modern athletic-specific shoes.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These trainers are ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure you have the correct size for optimal comfort.

Compatibility: The New Balance 650 is a versatile lifestyle shoe. It pairs well with a wide range of casual attire, including jeans, chinos, shorts, and joggers. They are designed for adult wear.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt and dust. For stubborn marks on the leather, a leather cleaner specifically designed for footwear can be used sparingly. Avoid excessive water.
  2. Lining Care: A dry brush or a lightly damp cloth can be used to clean the interior lining. Ensure the shoes are completely dry before wearing again.
  3. Sole Maintenance: Clean the rubber sole with a brush and mild soap if necessary. Ensure the tread is free of debris to maintain traction.
  4. Drying: Always air dry your trainers away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can damage the leather and adhesives.
