Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup
Getting started with your New Balance 373 trainers is straightforward:
- Unpack: Remove the trainers from their packaging.
- Lace Up: Adjust the laces to achieve a snug yet comfortable fit. Ensure they are not too tight to prevent discomfort.
- Wear: Put on your trainers and take a few steps to confirm the fit. Allow for a brief 'break-in' period if they feel slightly stiff initially.
Compatibility
- Gender: Designed for adult females.
- Sizing: This specific variant is UK Adult Foot Size 7. Ensure you select your correct size for optimal comfort and fit.
- Attire: Best paired with casual and athleisure wear such as jeans, shorts, skirts, dresses, and athletic bottoms.
- Activities: Ideal for everyday walking, casual wear, light urban exploration, and standing for extended periods. Not recommended for high-impact sports like running or intense training.
Care
Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your New Balance 373 trainers, which are made from Mesh, Suede, Textile, and Rubber.
- General Cleaning: For general dirt and dust, use a soft brush or dry cloth to gently wipe the surfaces.
- Mesh and Textile Areas: Create a mild soap solution (e.g., dish soap and warm water). Dip a soft brush or cloth into the solution, wring out excess liquid, and gently scrub the mesh and textile areas. Wipe clean with a damp cloth.
- Suede Areas: Suede requires special care. Avoid excessive water. Use a dedicated suede brush to remove loose dirt and restore the nap. For tougher stains, use a suede cleaner specifically designed for the material, following the product instructions carefully.
- Rubber Soles: Use a damp cloth or a soft brush with mild soap to clean the rubber outsoles and midsoles.
- Drying: Always allow your trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight, radiators, or tumble dryers, as high heat can damage materials like suede and adhesives.
- Odor Control: Remove insoles periodically to air them out. You can also use shoe deodorizers or baking soda sprinkled inside the shoes overnight to absorb odors.
- Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Stuffing them with crumpled paper can help maintain their shape.
