To ensure your New Balance 500 Trainers remain in excellent condition, especially given their white color, follow these care guidelines:
Cleaning the Upper: For light dirt and scuffs on the leather and textile upper, gently wipe with a soft, damp cloth. For more stubborn marks, use a specialized shoe cleaner formulated for both leather and textile materials. Apply the cleaner according to its instructions, then wipe clean with a damp cloth.
Outsole Cleaning: Use a brush or damp cloth to remove dirt and debris from the rubber outsole and tread to maintain grip and appearance.
Drying: Always allow your trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or artificial heat sources, which can damage materials.
Avoid Machine Washing: Do not machine wash your trainers as this can damage the materials, adhesives, and overall structure.
Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place when not in use, preferably with shoe trees or crumpled paper inside to help them retain their shape.
