These New Balance Fresh Foam X 880 V15 running shoes are great for daily runs. Put them on just like any other lace - up shoes. Tighten or loosen the laces to get the perfect fit. When you're running, the cushioned midsole will provide you with a comfortable experience. For maintenance, keep them away from extreme heat and moisture. You can use a soft brush to clean the synthetic upper gently. Also, let them dry naturally. And remember, the 6 mm drop is approximate due to manufacturing differences, so expect a little variance in the actual feel.
