Care Instructions: To prolong the life and appearance of your New Balance 530 shoes, follow these care guidelines:
Spot Cleaning: For most dirt and scuffs, use a soft brush or damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap (e.g., dish soap diluted with water). Gently rub the affected areas.
Suede Care: For suede sections, use a specific suede brush to remove loose dirt. For stains, a suede eraser can be effective. Avoid excessive moisture on suede.
Rinsing: Wipe away any soap residue with a clean, damp cloth.
Air Drying: Always allow the shoes to air dry completely at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as this can damage materials.
Lace Cleaning: Laces can be removed and hand-washed separately if heavily soiled.
Avoid Machine Washing: Do not put the shoes in a washing machine, as this can compromise the structure, materials, and cushioning of the shoe.
