Care Instructions: To ensure the longevity and appearance of your New Balance RC42 shoes, follow these general care guidelines:
Regular Cleaning: Wipe down the synthetic leather surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. For suede areas, use a soft brush designed for suede to gently remove dirt and dust.
Spot Cleaning: For stubborn marks, use a specialized shoe cleaner suitable for both synthetic leather and suede. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can damage materials.
Protection: Consider applying a water and stain repellent spray specifically formulated for mixed materials like synthetic leather and suede to protect against spills and moisture.
Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
Avoid Machine Washing: Do not put your shoes in a washing machine or dryer.
