Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 1890 trainers remain in top condition, follow these care guidelines:
- Breaking In: Like most leather trainers, these may require a brief period to contour to your foot shape; wear them for short durations initially.
- Cleaning: Use a soft brush to remove surface dirt. For deeper cleaning on leather portions, use a damp cloth with mild soap. Avoid soaking the shoes or using harsh chemicals that could damage the finish.
- Drying: Always air dry at room temperature away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can cause the leather to crack.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees can help maintain the shape of the leather upper when not in use.
