Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance trainers maintain their performance, follow these guidelines:
- Break-in: Wear the shoes for short periods during the first week to allow the premium leather to mold to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt from the leather. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized leather cleaner and a damp cloth.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or extreme heat sources, which can cause the leather to crack or the adhesives to weaken.
- Compatibility: The standard UK size 9 fits true to size, but if you intend to use custom orthotic insoles, you may need to remove the factory-installed liner to maintain a proper fit.
