FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
No, the New Balance 950 is a lifestyle sneaker inspired by court shoes and is not designed for distance running or high-impact athletic performance.
Do these sneakers run true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard sizing, but the wider toe box design provides a more generous fit compared to narrower performance models.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
It is not recommended. Machine washing can damage the leather and the adhesives holding the sole, significantly reducing the lifespan of the shoe.
What is the primary material used?
The exterior is crafted from leather, chosen for its durability and classic look.
Is this a unisex model?
Yes, the New Balance 950 is designed as a unisex trainer suitable for all genders.
Troubleshooting
Leather showing scuffs or marks
Use a specialized leather cleaner or a soft eraser to gently buff out marks.
Creasing at the toe box
Use a shoe tree when the sneakers are not in use to minimize deep creases and maintain structure.
Laces becoming untied frequently
Replace standard laces with textured athletic laces for better grip or try a double-knot technique.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these are leather trainers, proper care is essential to maintain their aesthetic. To clean, use a soft, damp cloth with mild soap to wipe away dirt; avoid submerging them in water or using harsh chemicals that could degrade the leather. For storage, keep them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent discoloration of the white finish. These shoes run true to size, but the wider toe box may lead some users to prefer their standard New Balance sizing. Use a shoe tree when not wearing them to help retain the shoe's shape over time.
