Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 1890 trainers maintain their appearance and structural integrity, follow these guidelines:
- Initial Break-in: Leather typically requires a short period of wear to mold to the unique shape of your foot. We recommend wearing them for shorter durations during the first few days.
- Cleaning: Wipe away loose dirt with a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized leather cleaner applied with a soft cloth. Avoid submerging the leather in water.
- Protection: Consider applying a leather-safe water and stain repellent spray to guard against the elements.
- Drying: If the shoes get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Never place them near direct heat sources like radiators or space heaters, as this can cause the leather to crack and the adhesive to degrade.
