- Does the wide version fit true to size?
- The 550 in wide (2E) runs roomy across the forefoot, so most buyers can take their usual New Balance size. If you are between sizes or have narrow feet, the standard width is the better choice.
- How does the 550 compare to the New Balance 574?
- The 550 is a lower, sleeker basketball shape with a leather upper and cupsole. The 574 is a chunkier runner-style shoe with suede and mesh and a softer ride.
- Is the Triple White 550 hard to keep clean?
- Yes. The white leather creases and scuffs visibly, so plan on wiping it down after wear and using a protectant spray.
- What is in the box?
- A pair of New Balance 550 sneakers in the ordered size and width. Extra laces are not standard with the 550.
- Is the New Balance 550 Triple White worth it?
- Yes if you want the retro 550 shape in an all-white leather build and need the wide 2E fit. If you have standard feet, the regular-width 550 offers the same look with far more availability.
- How does the 550 compare with its rivals?
- Against modern knit sneakers it is heavier and stiffer, but the leather upper and cupsole hold up better to daily wear. Against other retro white leather sneakers, the 550's low basketball profile is the main draw.
