To ensure the longevity and appearance of your New Balance 578 Trainers:
Uppers (89% textile, 11% other materials): Spot clean regularly using a soft cloth or brush, mild soap, and cool water. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
Lining & Cushioning (100% textile): For internal freshness, allow trainers to air out after wear. If necessary, a damp cloth with mild soap can be used gently on the lining.
Sole (100% rubber): Wipe clean with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris, which also helps maintain traction.
Drying: Always air dry at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can damage materials.
