FAQs

Are the New Balance 550 trainers unisex?

While certain colorways and sizes are marketed specifically, the 550 silhouette is generally versatile and can be worn by anyone, provided the correct size conversion is used.

Does the 550 fit true to size?

Yes, most users find the New Balance 550 fits true to size; however, those with wider feet may prefer to go up a half size.

Can I wash these in the washing machine?

It is not recommended to machine wash your 550s, as this can damage the structural integrity and materials.

Are these suitable for long-distance walking?

While they are comfortable for everyday wear, they are lifestyle shoes and lack the advanced cushioning tech found in dedicated running shoes for long-distance walking.

What is the primary material used?

The New Balance 550 generally features a combination of premium leather and synthetic materials for the upper.

Troubleshooting

Sole begins to show dirt

Use a specialized sneaker cleaning solution or a mild soap and water mixture with a soft brush to scrub the midsole.

Creasing in the toe box

Creasing is natural for leather-based sneakers; use a shoe tree when not wearing them to help maintain the structure.

Stiff fit upon first wear

Wear them indoors for short periods to allow the materials to soften naturally to your foot shape.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Striking, eye-catching Team Royal colorway
  • Classic basketball aesthetic that never goes out of style
  • Durable construction suitable for frequent daily use
  • Versatile design that pairs well with casual wear

Cons

  • Firmer sole unit compared to modern performance sneakers
  • Limited to adult sizing range
  • Bold color may not suit all minimalist wardrobes

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your 550s remain in top condition, proper care is essential. Since these are lifestyle trainers, avoid using them for heavy sports. For cleaning, remove surface dirt with a soft-bristled brush. If the shoes become stained, use a damp cloth with mild soap, but avoid submerging them in water or using harsh detergents. Ensure the shoes are air-dried away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, to prevent material deformation. When sizing, note that the 550 typically fits true to size, but standard break-in time may be required for the leather and synthetic overlays to adapt to your foot shape.
