To ensure the longevity and appearance of your New Balance GM 500 Trainers, follow these care guidelines:
Cleaning the Upper (Leather & Textile/Synthetic):
Gently brush off any loose dirt with a soft brush (e.g., an old toothbrush).
Mix a small amount of mild soap (like dish soap) with cool water.
Dampen a clean cloth with the soapy water and gently wipe down the leather and textile sections of the upper. Avoid saturating the material.
Use a separate, clean, damp cloth to wipe off any soap residue.
For tougher stains on textile areas, a soft brush can be used carefully.
Cleaning the Midsole and Outsole: Wipe down the EVA midsole and rubber outsole with a damp cloth and mild soap. A brush can be used on the outsole tread to remove trapped dirt.
Drying: Always allow your trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials.
Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. You may use shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
Avoid Machine Washing: Washing machines can damage the materials and construction of your trainers and are not recommended.
