Care Instructions
Proper care is crucial for maintaining the premium pigskin suede and mesh uppers of your New Balance 991.
- Cleaning Suede: Use a dedicated suede brush to gently remove loose dirt and dust. For deeper cleaning, apply a small amount of specialized suede cleaner to a clean cloth and gently blot the stained area. Do not rub vigorously. Allow to air dry naturally away from direct heat or sunlight.
- Cleaning Mesh: For the mesh sections, use a soft brush or cloth with mild soap and water. Gently scrub and wipe clean.
- Overall Cleaning: For the rubber sole and midsole, a damp cloth with mild soap can effectively remove dirt.
- Drying: Always allow your sneakers to air dry completely. Avoid machine washing or drying, as this can damage the materials and construction.
- Protection: Consider applying a water and stain repellent spray specifically designed for suede and textile materials to help protect your shoes from the elements.
- Storage: Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading and material degradation.
