Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your New Balance 578 V1 trainers, keep the following care practices in mind:
- Cleaning: Wipe away loose dirt with a soft brush after outdoor use. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth and mild soap; avoid soaking the shoes in water.
- Drying: Always air dry at room temperature. Never place these shoes in a dryer or directly on a heater, as intense heat can damage the bonding materials and deform the sole.
- Fit: Ensure socks are worn to prevent friction and maintain hygiene. If the interior becomes damp from activity, remove the insoles to allow them to dry independently overnight.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to prevent material degradation.
