Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your New Balance 950s in top condition, follow these guidelines:
- Break-in Period: Leather uppers may feel stiff initially; wear them for short durations to allow the material to adapt to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt and a damp cloth with mild leather cleaner for surface marks. Avoid submerging in water.
- Storage: Keep your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent leather fading and cracking.
- Protection: Consider applying a leather protectant spray to repel water and stains, ensuring it is compatible with smooth leather finishes.
- Maintenance: Insert shoe trees when not in use to help the leather retain its shape and minimize deep creasing at the forefoot.
