FAQs
Are these New Balance 373 sneakers suitable for running?
No, the New Balance 373 is designed for casual wear and everyday comfort. While they offer good cushioning for walking, they are not intended for high-performance running or intense athletic activities.
How do I clean the suede parts of the shoe?
For suede sections, use a dedicated suede brush to remove loose dirt and a suede eraser for light scuffs. For deeper stains, apply a specialized suede cleaner according to its instructions. Avoid using water directly on suede.
What is the primary material composition of these sneakers?
The New Balance 373 features a combination of Mesh, Suede, Textile, and Rubber in its construction, offering a balance of breathability, style, and durability.
Can I machine wash my New Balance 373s?
Machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, especially the suede, and compromise the shoe's structure and adhesives. Always clean them by hand following the care instructions.
Do these shoes offer good arch support for long walks?
The New Balance 373 features cushioned zones for general comfort during everyday wear and long walks. For individuals requiring specific or high arch support, personal orthotic inserts can be used with these sneakers.
Is the grey color prone to getting dirty quickly?
Lighter colors like grey can sometimes show dirt or scuffs more easily than darker shades. Regular gentle cleaning and possibly a protective spray can help maintain their appearance.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable after extended wear.
Ensure you have selected the correct UK size 6. If new, allow a short break-in period. Check your sock thickness. If discomfort persists, consider trying them with thinner socks or evaluating if the fit is truly appropriate for your foot shape. If needed, a professional shoe fitting might help.
Suede material appears dull or has minor scuffs.
Use a specialized suede brush to gently brush the nap of the suede, which can help restore its texture and remove light marks. For stubborn scuffs, a suede eraser can be effective.
Unpleasant odor developing inside the sneakers.
Allow your sneakers to air out completely after each wear, especially if your feet sweat. You can insert shoe trees or crumpled newspaper to absorb moisture. For persistent odors, use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle a small amount of baking soda inside overnight, then shake it out.
Sole appears worn or dirty.
The rubber sole can be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap. For excessive wear, remember these are casual sneakers and daily heavy use on abrasive surfaces can accelerate sole wear. Consider rotating them with other shoes to extend their lifespan.

Care
Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your New Balance 373 sneakers, especially given their mixed material construction (Mesh / Suede / Textile / Rubber).
- General Cleaning: For mesh, textile, and rubber areas, gently wipe with a soft cloth dampened with mild soap and cool water. Avoid scrubbing vigorously.
- Suede Cleaning: For suede sections, use a specialized suede brush to gently remove loose dirt and restore the nap. For tougher spots, a suede eraser or a cleaner formulated specifically for suede can be used. Always follow the product instructions for suede cleaners.
- Stain Removal: Address stains promptly. For general stains on non-suede areas, a gentle dab with a clean cloth and a small amount of diluted mild detergent might work. For suede, use a suede-specific cleaner.
- Drying: Always allow your sneakers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight, radiators, or tumble dryers, as intense heat can damage materials and adhesives.
- Protection: Consider applying a water and stain repellent spray suitable for mixed materials (suede, mesh, textile) to provide an extra layer of protection against elements and spills. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
