Care Instructions
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your New Balance 530 trainers:
- Regular Cleaning:
- Mesh & Synthetic Overlays: Use a soft brush (like an old toothbrush) to gently remove loose dirt. Mix a small amount of mild soap (like dish soap) with warm water. Dampen a soft cloth or sponge with the solution and gently wipe the mesh and synthetic areas.
- Leather Overlays: For leather sections, use a dedicated leather cleaner or a very lightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Midsole & Outsole: Use a brush or damp cloth to clean the ABZORB midsole and rubber outsole.
- Drying: Always air dry your trainers at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or artificial heat sources (like radiators), as this can damage materials and adhesives.
- Odor Control: Remove insoles periodically to air them out. Use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes overnight to absorb odors.
- Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
- Avoid Washing Machine: Do not put your trainers in a washing machine or dryer, as this can severely damage the materials and construction.
