FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for playing basketball?
No, while the BB950 is inspired by 1980s basketball culture, it is designed as a lifestyle trainer and does not provide the technical support needed for competitive play.
How should I clean the wool material?
Spot clean only using a soft cloth and a gentle soap suitable for wool. Avoid submerging the shoes in water.
Are these trainers true to size?
Yes, they follow standard sizing, but the inclusion of a roomier toe box generally allows for a more comfortable fit for those who prefer extra space.
Can I wear these in the rain?
It is best to avoid heavy rain as wool can absorb water. If they get wet, air dry them naturally away from direct heat.
Are these shoes unisex?
Yes, the New Balance 950 is designed as a unisex model, fitting a wide range of foot shapes.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt or stains on the wool upper
Gently blot the area with a damp cloth and mild soap; do not scrub vigorously as it may cause pilling.
Material feels slightly damp or moisture-logged
Stuff the interior with clean paper towels to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry slowly at room temperature.
Creasing near the toe box
Use cedar shoe trees when not wearing the shoes to help retain the structure of the toe area.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because the upper is constructed from wool, maintenance is the most critical aspect of ownership. To ensure longevity, avoid machine washing these trainers, as excessive moisture and agitation can damage the wool fibers. Instead, spot clean with a soft, damp cloth and a mild, wool-safe detergent. Keep the shoes away from direct high-heat sources like radiators, which can warp the material. When not in use, store them in a cool, dry place and use shoe trees to help the trainers maintain their shape.
