FAQs
Are these sneakers suitable for running?
The New Balance 550 is designed as a lifestyle and court-inspired trainer, not for long-distance running or high-impact athletics.
How do I keep the white leather clean?
Wipe the shoes down regularly with a damp cloth and use leather-specific cleaning products. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive brushes.
Does the sizing run true?
The New Balance 550 generally fits true to your standard UK shoe size.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the leather material and the structural adhesives of the shoe. Always hand clean.
Are these shoes supportive?
They provide a stable and supportive fit suitable for daily activities, walking, and casual wear.
Troubleshooting
Creasing in the leather toe box
This is a natural occurrence in leather sneakers. Use a shoe tree when not wearing to help maintain shape and minimize deep creases.
Surface scuff marks on white finish
Use a specialized white sneaker cleaning eraser or a soft cloth with a mild leather-safe cleaner to gently buff out marks.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For the best fit, ensure you select your standard UK shoe size as the New Balance 550 series is generally true to size. Since these trainers feature leather materials, it is important to treat them with a water-repellent spray before first wear to protect against spills and light dirt. To clean, use a soft cloth or specialized leather cleaner to wipe away debris, and avoid machine washing to maintain the integrity of the leather and adhesives.
