FAQs
How to lace New Balance 550
Go classic with a criss-cross pattern for secure, even tension, or experiment with straight-bar or ladder lacing for a cleaner look. Use the top eyelets for a snug heel lock if needed.
Are New Balance 550 good for running?
The 550 is best for casual, everyday wear rather than dedicated running or high-intensity sessions. For workouts, see our women’s running range.
Can you machine wash the New Balance 550s?
Machine washing isn’t recommended. Hand clean with a soft brush or cloth using mild soap and warm water, then air dry to preserve materials and shape.
