Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 1890 trainers maintain their aesthetic, follow these guidelines:
- Breaking In: These shoes generally fit true to size. Wear them for short durations indoors for the first two days to allow the suede to adapt to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt after every few wears. Avoid water-based cleaners unless they are specifically designed for suede, as water can cause staining.
- Protection: Apply a high-quality suede protector spray before the first wear to guard against minor spills and dust.
- Storage: Keep your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can fade the green colouration over time. Use shoe trees to help maintain the structure of the toe box.
