Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The New Balance Fresh Foam X Hierro v9 requires no specific setup beyond lacing them up. Ensure the laces are tied securely but not excessively tight to allow for natural foot movement.
Compatibility: These shoes are designed for trail running and all-day wear. They are compatible with various sock types; consider moisture-wicking socks for optimal performance during runs.
Care:
- Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft brush or a damp cloth to gently remove dirt and mud from the synthetic and mesh upper. Avoid harsh detergents.
- Cleaning the Midsole and Outsole: Wipe down the foam midsole and the Vibram® outsole with a damp cloth. For stubborn dirt on the outsole, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by rinsing with clean water.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a clothes dryer, as this can damage the materials. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape during drying.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
