Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 1890s maintain their appearance, clean the leather upper regularly with a dry brush to remove loose dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a leather-specific conditioner and cleaner applied with a soft microfiber cloth to preserve the animal pattern finish. Avoid saturating the leather with water, as this can affect the texture. Store the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources to prevent the leather from drying out. When fitting, ensure the laces are adjusted to your preference to leverage the structure of the padded collar for maximum heel lock.
