FAQs

Are New Balance 373 trainers suitable for running or athletic sports?

No, the New Balance 373 is designed as a lifestyle and casual trainer. While comfortable for everyday wear and light walking, it does not offer the specialized support, cushioning, or stability required for running or high-intensity athletic activities.

How do I determine my correct size?

We recommend trying on the trainers to ensure the best fit. New Balance sizes are generally consistent, but it's always best to refer to a size guide or measure your foot. If you are between sizes, consider the fit for your preferred activity – snug for a secure feel, or slightly looser for more casual comfort.

What materials are typically used in the New Balance 373?

The New Balance 373 series commonly features a combination of synthetic materials, mesh, and sometimes suede or leather for the upper, paired with a durable rubber outsole and EVA foam cushioning in the midsole. The specific blend can vary by colorway and variant.

Can I machine wash my New Balance 373 trainers?

No, machine washing is not recommended. It can damage the materials, adhesives, and overall structure of the trainers. Always follow the spot cleaning and air-drying instructions provided in the 'Care Instructions' section.

Are these trainers waterproof?

The New Balance 373 trainers are not waterproof. While they can handle light splashes, they are not designed for heavy rain or wet conditions. Prolonged exposure to moisture can damage the materials.

Do the New Balance 373 trainers offer good arch support?

The 373s provide standard cushioning suitable for casual wear and general comfort. For individuals with specific arch support needs or conditions, you may find additional arch support inserts beneficial, as these trainers are not designed as orthopedic footwear.

Troubleshooting

Trainers develop an odor

Remove insoles and air them out. Sprinkle baking soda inside the trainers and leave overnight, then shake out. Consider using shoe deodorizers or cedar shoe inserts.

Squeaking sound when walking

This can sometimes be caused by friction between the insole and the shoe's base. Try sprinkling a small amount of talcum powder or baking soda under the insole to reduce friction. Ensure laces are tied securely.

Scuffs or marks on the upper material

For synthetic or leather sections, use a damp cloth and mild soap to gently rub the mark. For suede, use a specialized suede brush and eraser for best results. Test any cleaning solution on an inconspicuous area first.

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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  1. Laces: Remove laces and hand wash them separately with soap and water.
  2. 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.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
  4. Avoid: Do not machine wash or submerge your trainers in water, as this can compromise their structure and materials.
