Product Information
Full details
The New Balance 373 trainers are designed for adults seeking comfortable, everyday footwear. Their key benefit lies in the lightweight EVA foam cushioning that provides enhanced comfort for prolonged wear. A potential consideration is that while the suede and mesh upper offers breathability, it may require more careful maintenance than purely synthetic materials. These trainers combine a classic aesthetic with practical comfort features, including a durable rubber outsole and secure lace-up closure.

FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running marathons?
The New Balance 373 trainers are designed for everyday comfort and casual wear. They are not specialized for high-impact or long-distance running like marathon training.
What is the best way to clean the suede parts?
Use a dry suede brush to remove loose dirt. For tougher stains, a suede eraser or a slightly damp cloth with a specialized suede cleaner can be used. Always allow to air dry completely.
Can I put these trainers in the washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers, especially due to the suede material, as it can damage the shoe's structure and appearance.
What does the EVA foam cushioning do?
EVA (Ethylene Vinyl Acetate) foam is a lightweight material used for its excellent shock absorption and cushioning properties, providing comfort during wear.
How do I ensure a secure fit?
Utilize the lace-up closure to adjust the tightness across the foot, ensuring a snug yet comfortable fit.
Are these trainers good for wide feet?
The standard fit is designed for average-width feet. While the laces allow for adjustment, individuals with significantly wide feet might find a wider fit variant more comfortable if available.
What is the typical lifespan of these trainers?
With regular wear and proper care, the New Balance 373 trainers are built for durability. The lifespan can vary depending on usage frequency, intensity, and adherence to care instructions, but typically they last a considerable time for casual use.
Troubleshooting
Discomfort after first wear
Allow a short break-in period. The cushioning may need a few wears to mold to your foot shape.
Suede appears dirty or stained
Use a dedicated suede cleaner or eraser. For general dirt, a suede brush is effective. Always test cleaning solutions on an inconspicuous area first.
Laces are difficult to keep tied
Ensure laces are appropriately tightened. Consider re-lacing with a knot that holds better, or replace laces if they are worn.
Poor grip on wet surfaces
The rubber outsole provides good traction, but like most trainers, grip may be reduced on very wet or slippery surfaces. Exercise caution in such conditions.
