Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your New Balance 740 shoes, which feature a combination of leather, synthetic, and mesh materials:
General Cleaning: After each wear, especially after active use, wipe down the shoes with a soft, damp cloth to remove loose dirt and dust.
Spot Cleaning: For more stubborn marks on the leather and synthetic parts, use a mild soap mixed with water. Apply with a soft brush or cloth, then wipe clean with a damp cloth.
Mesh Areas: For the mesh, a soft brush (like an old toothbrush) can gently remove dirt. You can also use a mild soap solution.
Drying: Always allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as these can damage the materials.
Odor Control: If needed, insert shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes when not in use to absorb odors.
Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
