To ensure the longevity and appearance of your New Balance 550 Trainers, follow these care guidelines:
Regular Cleaning: Wipe down the leather and synthetic surfaces regularly with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt and dust.
Spot Treatment for Suede/Leather: For tougher stains, use a specialized leather cleaner for leather sections and a suede brush/eraser for suede overlays. Always test any cleaning product on an inconspicuous area first on a hidden spot.
Air Drying: Always allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can cause cracking or fading of materials.
Protection: Consider applying a protective spray suitable for leather and suede to help repel water and stains, especially on the white surfaces.
Lace Care: Remove shoelaces and hand wash them separately with mild soap and water if they become dirty.
Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material degradation and discoloration. Shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
