Maintaining the premium leather of your New Balance 2002R trainers will extend their life and preserve their appearance:
Initial Protection: Consider applying a leather protectant spray before the first wear to repel water and stains. Follow product instructions carefully.
Regular Cleaning: For light dirt, wipe down the leather surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher marks, use a cleaner specifically designed for leather footwear.
Deep Cleaning (if necessary): Apply a small amount of leather cleaner to a soft brush or cloth and gently scrub affected areas. Wipe clean with a damp cloth.
Drying: Always allow trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can dry out and crack the leather.
Conditioning: Periodically apply a leather conditioner to keep the leather supple and prevent cracking. This is especially important if the trainers are worn frequently or exposed to dry conditions.
Storage: When not in use, store your trainers in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape and absorb moisture.
Avoid Machine Washing: Never put leather trainers in a washing machine or tumble dryer, as this can severely damage the material and construction.
Sole Cleaning: Use a brush and mild soap to clean the rubber soles, then wipe dry.
