Care:
To ensure the longevity and performance of your New Balance 520v9 shoes, proper care is essential. Always refer to the product label inside the shoe for the most accurate and specific care instructions. Generally, for textile and synthetic running shoes:
- Cleaning: Spot clean any dirt or stains with a soft cloth or brush, mild soap (like dish soap), and cool water. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as this can damage materials.
- Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Stuffing them with newspaper can help maintain their shape and absorb moisture after use.
- Avoid Machine Washing: Machine washing is generally not recommended as it can compromise the shoe's structure and materials.
