To ensure the longevity and appearance of your New Balance 500 Trainers:
Cleaning the Upper: For the synthetic material, wipe clean with a damp cloth using a mild soap solution. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive brushes which can damage the material.
Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hairdry, as this can cause materials to warp or crack.
Insole Care: The NB Comfort Insert can be removed for separate cleaning if needed. Hand wash with mild soap and air dry thoroughly before reinserting.
Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material degradation.
Avoid Machine Washing: Never put your trainers in a washing machine or dryer, as this can damage their structure and materials.
