FAQs
Are the New Balance 550 shoes true to size?
Yes, the New Balance 550 typically fits true to size for most adults.
Can I use these for running?
No, these are lifestyle trainers inspired by basketball heritage and are not designed for running or high-impact athletic performance.
How do I clean the white/cream accents?
Use a soft eraser or a damp cloth with mild leather cleaner to gently buff away scuffs or dirt from the cream-colored sections.
Is the leather upper waterproof?
The leather is water-resistant, but it is not waterproof. We recommend applying a protective leather spray for added defense against light moisture.
What is the best way to store these sneakers?
Store them in a well-ventilated area, ideally with shoe trees to help them maintain their original shape.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight during initial wear
Loosen the laces significantly before putting them on and wear them for short intervals to allow the leather to naturally conform to your foot.
Surface dirt accumulating on the beige exterior
Use a damp, lint-free cloth and mild soap to gently wipe the affected area, then air dry completely away from direct heat sources.
