Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your sneakers remain in top condition, proper care is essential, especially given the multi-material construction. Always avoid machine washing, as this can damage the structural adhesives and materials. Instead, perform spot cleaning using a soft-bristled brush and a mild, leather or textile-safe cleaner. For the nylon and suede components, use a dedicated suede brush to lift dirt and maintain the nap of the material. Store the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent colour fading. When sizing, these trainers generally follow standard UK sizing conventions for men's New Balance footwear.
