Proper care helps extend the lifespan and maintain the performance of your New Balance W520V9 shoes:
Cleaning:
Remove excess dirt with a soft brush (e.g., an old toothbrush).
Mix a small amount of mild detergent (like dish soap) with warm water.
Dampen a cloth or sponge with the solution and gently wipe the upper and outsole.
Avoid fully submerging the shoes in water.
For stubborn stains, a gentle scrub brush can be used on the sole.
Do NOT put shoes in a washing machine or dryer, as this can damage materials and adhesives.
Drying:
After cleaning, stuff the shoes with newspaper or paper towels to absorb moisture and help maintain their shape.
Allow them to air dry at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or heat sources (e.g., radiators, hair dryers). This can warp materials.
Storage:
Store shoes in a cool, dry place.
Avoid leaving them in direct sunlight or extreme temperatures for prolonged periods.
Rotation:
If you run frequently, consider rotating between two pairs of shoes. This allows each pair to fully dry out and recover between uses, extending their overall lifespan.
