Proper care will help maintain the appearance and longevity of your New Balance 1000s:
Cleaning the Uppers: For the synthetic and mesh surfaces, gently wipe with a soft, damp cloth using mild soap if necessary. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Cleaning the Midsole/Outsole: Use a soft brush (like an old toothbrush) and mild soap with water to clean dirt and debris from the ABZORB midsole and rubber outsole.
Drying: Always allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can damage materials.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Consider using shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
Material Note: Given the mix of synthetic uppers, mesh underlays, and leather elements, spot cleaning is recommended.
