Setup:
Lacing: Before your first run, ensure you properly lace your New Balance Fresh Foam X More v5 shoes. Use the adjustable laces to achieve a snug fit around your midfoot without being too tight, allowing your toes to splay naturally. Experiment with different lacing techniques if you have specific fit concerns.

Care:
Cleaning: To clean, gently brush off loose dirt using a soft brush. For tougher stains, use a mild soap and cold water mixture with a cloth or soft brush. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not put them in a dryer or expose them to direct heat, as this can damage materials and adhesives.
Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
Lifespan: Running shoes generally last between 300-500 miles, depending on your running style, weight, and terrain. Monitor the outsole wear and cushioning feel for signs it's time for a replacement.
