Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 574 trainers remain in top condition, follow these care guidelines:
- Cleaning: Wipe leather surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Use a specialized leather cleaner for tougher stains. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh detergents.
- Drying: Always air dry at room temperature. Keep away from direct heat sources like radiators or hair dryers, which can cause the leather to crack or the glue to degrade.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to prevent color fading.
- Maintenance: Consider applying a leather-safe water repellent spray to protect against light rain and dirt accumulation.
