Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your New Balance 1890 trainers, consistent maintenance is essential.
- Initial Protection: Apply a leather-specific water and stain repellent spray before first use to create a protective barrier against the elements.
- Cleaning: Wipe away dirt with a soft, dry brush or a slightly damp cloth. Avoid submerging the shoes in water, as this can degrade the leather quality over time.
- Drying: Always let your shoes air dry at room temperature. Keep them away from direct heat sources like radiators or fireplaces, which can cause the leather to crack or lose its shape.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading of the brown finish.
- Fit: These trainers are sized for adults; ensure you select your correct UK size to allow the leather to naturally conform to your foot shape over time.
