FAQs
Are the New Balance 550 trainers true to size?
The New Balance 550 generally follows standard sizing for adult footwear. If you are between sizes, it is recommended to try them on or compare them to your existing New Balance size.
Can these shoes be worn for basketball?
While inspired by basketball designs, the 550 is a lifestyle sneaker meant for everyday casual wear, not for competitive sport performance.
How do I clean the white leather?
Wipe with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive scrubbers that may damage the leather finish.
Is the material waterproof?
The leather upper provides some protection against light rain, but the shoes are not waterproof and should not be submerged.
Do these trainers provide arch support?
The New Balance 550 offers a comfortable, flat footbed suitable for standard daily walking, though it is not specifically marketed as a high-support orthopedic shoe.
Troubleshooting
Creasing in the leather toe box
Creasing is a natural characteristic of leather footwear. Use shoe trees when not wearing the trainers to help the material retain its shape.
Scuffs on the white exterior
Use a specialized leather sneaker cleaner or a damp cloth with mild soap to gently buff away surface marks.
Laces becoming untied frequently
Ensure the laces are threaded properly through all eyelets and double-knot them for a more secure fit during active days.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 550 trainers last, proper care is essential. Since these are leather, avoid submerging them in water. Use a soft-bristled brush to remove surface dust regularly. For scuffs on the white leather, use a mild soap solution on a damp cloth, followed by a dry cloth to prevent moisture buildup. If the interior or laces become soiled, the laces can be hand-washed separately. To maintain the shape of the shoe, store them in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources, and consider using shoe trees when not in use to help the leather retain its structure.
