FAQs
Are the New Balance 950s true to size?
Yes, they generally fit true to size. The wide toe box design provides extra room, making them comfortable for most adults.
Can I use these for playing basketball?
While the design is inspired by 80s basketball shoes, they are intended for lifestyle and casual use, not high-intensity court sports.
How do I clean the tumbled leather?
Wipe with a damp (not wet) cloth and a mild leather cleaner. Always air dry away from direct heat sources like radiators.
Are these shoes unisex?
Yes, the New Balance 950 is designed as a unisex model, fitting a wide range of adult sizes.
What material is the upper made of?
The upper is constructed from premium tumbled leather with tonal leather overlays.
Are they waterproof?
No, they are made of leather and are not waterproof. We recommend using a leather-safe water repellent spray if you expect to encounter light rain.
Troubleshooting
Creasing on the leather toe box
This is a natural characteristic of genuine leather; use shoe trees when not wearing to minimize deep-set creases.
Difficulty cleaning perforated areas
Use a soft-bristled toothbrush to gently dislodge dirt trapped in the perforations without damaging the leather surrounding them.
Shoe feels too stiff
Leather requires a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations indoors initially to allow the material to soften to your foot shape.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 950s last, keep them away from excessive moisture, as the tumbled leather can be sensitive to heavy rain. For daily care, use a soft, dry brush to remove dust and surface debris. If the leather encounters stains, use a specialized leather cleaner applied with a soft cloth rather than submerging the shoe in water. To maintain the shape of the toe box and upper, consider using cedar shoe trees when the sneakers are not in use. Ensure you are wearing the correct UK size for your foot, as the 950 series is designed with a specific architecture that favors a consistent, secure fit.
