Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance trainers maintain their performance, follow these guidelines:
- Fit: Ensure you have a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe to allow for foot swelling during movement.
- Break-in: While comfortable out of the box, wear them for short walks over two to three days to allow the foam and upper materials to adapt to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Wipe away mud and debris with a soft-bristled brush after trail use. For deeper cleaning, use a mild detergent and a damp cloth; avoid submerging in water or using a washing machine, as this can degrade the adhesives.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the midsole foam from hardening or cracking prematurely.
