Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Your New Balance 373 trainers require no special 'setup'. Simply unbox them, put them on, and adjust the laces for a comfortable, secure fit. We recommend wearing them for short periods initially to break them in, although they are designed for out-of-the-box comfort.
Compatibility
These black trainers are incredibly versatile and compatible with a wide range of casual attire. They pair well with:
- Bottoms: Jeans (all washes), chinos, cargo pants, shorts.
- Tops: T-shirts, polo shirts, casual button-downs, hoodies, light jackets.
- Occasions: Everyday errands, casual work environments, social events, weekend leisure, travel.
Care Instructions
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your New Balance 373 trainers:
- Spot Cleaning: For general dirt and scuffs, use a soft brush or cloth. Dampen with cold water and a small amount of mild soap (e.g., dish soap). Gently rub the affected area.
- Material Specifics:
- Suede/Nubuck: Use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt. For stains, a suede eraser can be effective. Avoid excessive water, which can damage suede.
- Synthetic/Mesh: Can be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap. A soft-bristled brush can help with tougher grime.
- Laces: Remove laces and hand wash them separately with soap and water.
- Drying: Always air dry your trainers at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as this can damage materials and adhesives.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
- Avoid: Do not machine wash or submerge your trainers in water, as this can compromise their structure and materials.
