FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

No, the New Balance 950 is a lifestyle trainer inspired by basketball heritage and is not designed for running or high-impact athletic performance.

How do I determine if the 950 fits correctly?

Ensure you have about a thumb's width of space at the front of the shoe. The wide toe box should feel comfortable without your foot sliding around excessively.

Can I use these in the rain?

While the leather offers some protection, it is not fully waterproof. It is recommended to use a leather-safe water repellent spray if you expect to encounter wet conditions.

Are these sneakers unisex?

Yes, the New Balance 950 is designed as a unisex product, fitting both men and women based on the UK adult sizing provided.

What is the primary material used in the construction?

The upper is constructed primarily from durable, high-quality leather.

Troubleshooting

Leather looks dull after heavy use

Apply a high-quality leather conditioner or cream to restore moisture and shine to the material.

Creasing in the toe box area

Use a shoe tree when the sneakers are not being worn to help maintain the structural shape and minimize deep creases.

Minor scuffs on the leather surface

Gently buff the affected area with a soft, damp cloth or use a specialized leather eraser to lift surface marks.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Versatile design suitable for casual and semi-casual settings
  • Roomy toe box improves overall comfort during extended wear
  • High-quality leather material ensures long-lasting durability
  • Understated branding cues offer a refined aesthetic

Cons

  • Leather requires regular maintenance to prevent scuffing
  • Limited color palette focused primarily on neutral black and grey tones
  • Not intended for high-performance court sports despite the heritage

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your New Balance 950s remain in top condition, proper care is essential. Since the upper is made of leather, avoid machine washing, which can damage the material and adhesives. Instead, wipe away surface dirt with a soft, dry cloth. For tougher stains, use a mild leather cleaner specifically designed for footwear and follow up with a leather conditioner to prevent cracking. Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading. For the best fit, ensure you select your correct UK adult shoe size, as the wide toe box provides space but will not correct for improper sizing.
