Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your New Balance RC42 sneakers, given their leather and suede components.
Regular Cleaning: For general dirt and dust, use a soft brush or damp cloth to gently wipe the surfaces.
Suede Care: For suede areas, use a dedicated suede brush to remove dirt and restore the nap. For tougher spots, a suede cleaner specifically designed for footwear can be used. Always follow the product's instructions.
Leather Care: For leather portions, wipe with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn marks, a mild leather cleaner can be applied sparingly. Consider using a leather conditioner periodically to keep the leather supple and prevent cracking.
Stain Removal: Address stains immediately. Different materials (leather vs. suede) require different stain removal methods. Test any cleaning product on an inconspicuous area first.
Drying: If shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and maintain their shape. Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources or sunlight, which can damage materials.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Consider using shoe trees to help maintain their shape when not in use.
