To maintain the appearance and longevity of your New Balance 1906R:
Cleaning the Upper: For the synthetic mesh and leather components, gently wipe away dirt and dust with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a small amount of mild soap mixed with water and lightly scrub with a soft brush (like an old toothbrush). Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
Cleaning the Outsole: Use a brush (a stiff brush for tough grime) and water to clean the Nergy outsole, ensuring good traction is maintained.
Drying: Always air dry your shoes naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight, radiators, or tumble dryers, as extreme heat can damage materials and adhesives.
Storage: When not in use, store your sneakers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
Avoid Machine Washing: Do not machine wash your New Balance 1906R, as this can damage the materials, cushioning, and structural integrity of the shoe.
Info needed: Specific recommendations for cleaning 'Leather' components if different from synthetic mesh.
