Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup: The New Balance Gator Run trainers require no specific setup. Upon receiving them, ensure they fit comfortably. If the fit is not ideal, consider trying a different size (available in UK 6.5 to 12.5 for men). The laces can be adjusted to personal preference.
Compatibility: These trainers are designed for general athletic training and lifestyle wear. They are compatible with most casual and athletic apparel. While the outsole is designed for turf-inspired traction, they are best suited for outdoor use or athletic activities rather than formal occasions.
Care:
- Cleaning the Upper: For suede and mesh areas, use a soft brush to remove loose dirt. For tougher stains, a slightly damp cloth can be used. Avoid soaking the shoes.
- Leather Accents: Clean leather 'N' insignias with a damp cloth. Condition the leather periodically if desired.
- Laces: Remove laces for separate cleaning by hand washing with mild soap and water.
- Outsole: Use a brush to clean debris from the lugs. Ensure the sole is dry before storage.
- Drying: Always air dry the trainers away from direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, which can damage materials.
