Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Simply unbox your New Balance 373 sneakers, adjust the laces to your preferred fit, and they are ready to wear. No complex setup or breaking-in period is typically required, though initial wear might feel snug until they conform to your foot.
Compatibility
These sneakers are designed for adult women and are compatible with a wide range of casual wardrobes. Their classic aesthetic makes them a perfect match for:
- Jeans and Trousers: From skinny jeans to wide-leg pants.
- Shorts and Skirts: Ideal for a relaxed, sporty look.
- Casual Dresses: Adds a comfortable, stylish touch to everyday dresses.
- Activewear: While not performance shoes, they pair well with leisure activewear for a comfortable, athleisure look.
Care
Proper care extends the life and appearance of your New Balance 373s:
- Spot Cleaning: For minor dirt, use a soft brush or damp cloth with a mild soap. Gently scrub the affected area.
- Laces: Remove laces and hand wash them with soap and water, then air dry.
- Drying: Always air dry your sneakers away from direct heat or sunlight to prevent material damage or shrinking. Do not put them in a dryer.
- Deep Cleaning (Caution): For more thorough cleaning, use specialized sneaker cleaning solutions. Always test on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid submerging the entire shoe in water, especially if it contains suede.
- Odor Control: Use shoe deodorizers or place baking soda packets inside when not in use to absorb moisture and odors.
- Storage: Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
