Care To maintain the appearance and longevity of your New Balance 1906R Trainers, follow these general care guidelines:
Spot Cleaning: For minor dirt or scuffs, gently wipe the mesh and synthetic overlays with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage materials.
Deep Cleaning: For a more thorough clean, use a sneaker-specific cleaning solution designed for mixed materials. Follow the product's instructions carefully.
Leather Overlays (if applicable): If your specific pair features leather overlays, use a leather-appropriate cleaner and conditioner to prevent drying or cracking.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use to preserve material integrity and color.
