What should I do if the leather gets wet?
Stuff the shoes with newspaper or a dry cloth to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry slowly at room temperature away from heat sources.
Troubleshooting

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 327 trainers last, avoid exposing the leather to excessive moisture or harsh chemicals. For general upkeep, use a soft-bristled brush to remove loose dirt from the surface after use. If the leather becomes soiled, use a dedicated leather cleaner applied to a microfiber cloth rather than soaking the shoes. Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading of the brown and red tones. We recommend using a leather conditioner every few months to keep the material supple and prevent cracking.
