Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your New Balance 500s:
Cleaning: For synthetic leather and mesh areas, gently wipe with a 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.
Stain Removal: For stubborn stains, a soft brush (like an old toothbrush) can be used with a small amount of mild cleaner. Test on an inconspicuous area first.
Odor Control: Remove the NB Comfort Insert regularly to air out. You can also use shoe deodorizers.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
