To ensure the longevity and appearance of your leather New Balance 990 V6:
Regular Cleaning: Wipe down the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth after wear to remove dust and dirt. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners.
Deep Cleaning (Leather): For stubborn marks, use a specialized leather cleaner applied with a soft brush or cloth. Follow the product instructions carefully. Test on an inconspicuous area first.
Drying: If they get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the leather.
Conditioning: Periodically apply a leather conditioner to keep the leather supple and prevent cracking. This is especially important if the shoes are worn frequently or exposed to dry conditions.
Protection: Consider using a leather protector spray to guard against water and stains.
Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
Outsole Care: Brush off any dirt or debris from the non-slip outsole to maintain effective traction.
