Care: Proper care is crucial to maintain the premium materials of your New Balance 2002R trainers. Follow these guidelines:
Initial Protection: Consider applying a protective spray specifically designed for suede and textile footwear. This helps repel water and stains.
Regular Cleaning: After each wear, gently brush off loose dirt with a soft brush, especially from the suede sections.
Spot Cleaning: For minor marks, use a specialized suede cleaner and a clean cloth. For mesh areas, a mild soap solution and a damp cloth can be used. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
Deep Cleaning: For more significant dirt, use a dedicated sneaker cleaning kit suitable for mixed materials. Follow the product's instructions carefully.
Drying: Always air dry your trainers away from direct heat or sunlight to prevent material damage or warping. Stuff with paper towels to help absorb moisture and retain shape.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Shoe trees can help maintain their shape when not in use.
Avoid: Do not machine wash or tumble dry your trainers, as this can damage the materials and construction.
