FAQs

Are New Balance 373 sneakers suitable for running or other sports?

No, the New Balance 373 is designed for casual wear and light activities. While comfortable for walking, it does not provide the specialized support, cushioning, or stability required for high-performance running or intense sports.

How do I determine my correct size for these sneakers?

These sneakers are offered in UK size 6. For accurate sizing, it's recommended to measure your foot length and compare it to the official New Balance sizing chart. Keep in mind that fit can vary slightly between models and individuals.

Can I wear these shoes in the rain?

The New Balance 373 features a linen upper, which is not waterproof. Wearing them in heavy rain is not recommended as it can saturate the material, lead to discomfort, and potentially damage the shoe. They are best suited for dry conditions.

How often should I clean my linen New Balance 373s?

Clean them as needed, especially if they appear dirty or stained. Regular spot cleaning will help maintain their appearance. For general upkeep, a light brush to remove surface dust can be done weekly or bi-weekly depending on use.

Do I need to 'break in' these sneakers?

The New Balance 373 generally offers comfort right out of the box. However, like most footwear, a short break-in period of a few wears might help the shoes fully conform to your foot shape for optimal comfort.

Troubleshooting

My shoes feel uncomfortable or tight.

Ensure you have the correct size. While New Balance 373s are generally comfortable, some individuals may experience a short break-in period. Try wearing them for shorter durations at first. If discomfort persists, double-check your sizing against a New Balance size chart.

The linen upper looks dirty or stained.

Spot clean the affected areas. Use a soft brush or cloth with a mild detergent (e.g., diluted dish soap). Gently scrub the stain, then wipe with a clean, damp cloth. Allow to air dry completely. Avoid harsh scrubbing or abrasive cleaners that could damage the linen fibers.

My shoes are making a squeaking noise.

Squeaking can sometimes come from friction between the insole and the shoe's interior. Try removing the insole, sprinkling a small amount of baby powder or cornstarch inside the shoe, and then reinserting the insole. If the squeak is from the sole, check for any embedded debris or wear patterns.

There's an unpleasant odor coming from my shoes.

Odor is often caused by moisture and bacteria. Air out your shoes regularly after wear. Remove insoles to allow them to dry separately. You can also use shoe deodorizers, cedar shoe trees, or sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes overnight to absorb odors.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

Setting up your New Balance 373 sneakers is straightforward:

  1. Lacing: Ensure the laces are threaded correctly and tied securely to provide a snug, comfortable fit without being too tight.
  2. Initial Wear: Wear them for short periods initially to allow the shoes to conform to your feet.

Care Instructions

Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your New Balance 373 sneakers, especially with their linen upper.

  1. Spot Cleaning: For dirt or stains on the linen, use a soft brush or cloth with a mild detergent (like dish soap diluted in water). Gently rub the affected area. Avoid harsh chemicals.
  2. Avoid Submerging: Do not machine wash or submerge the entire shoe in water, as this can damage the material and structure.
  3. Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or artificial heat sources like radiators, which can cause fading or damage.
  4. Odor Control: To combat odors, remove insoles (if removable) and air them out. You can also use shoe deodorizers or baking soda sprinkled inside overnight.
  5. Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Consider using shoe trees to maintain their shape.
