Proper care is essential to maintain the quality and longevity of your New Balance 990 V6 leather sneakers.
Regular Cleaning: Gently wipe down the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth after each wear to remove surface dirt and dust.
Deep Cleaning (Leather): Use a specialized leather cleaner for deeper cleaning. Apply a small amount to a clean cloth and gently rub the affected areas. Always follow the product's instructions.
Conditioning: Apply a high-quality leather conditioner every few weeks or months (depending on wear) to keep the leather supple, prevent drying, cracking, and maintain its natural luster. Do not apply conditioner to the suede parts if your variant has them (this one is specified as leather).
Sole Care: Clean the outsoles with a brush and water to remove dirt and maintain traction.
Drying: If shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and maintain their shape. Allow them to air dry at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight, which can damage leather.
Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to help retain their shape. Avoid storing in plastic bags as leather needs to breathe.
Avoid Machine Washing: Never machine wash or machine dry these sneakers, as it can severely damage the leather and structural integrity.
