FAQs
Are these New Balance 373 shoes suitable for running?
The New Balance 373 is primarily designed as a lifestyle shoe for casual wear and light walking. While comfortable, it is not engineered with the specialized support and cushioning required for high-performance running or intense athletic training.
How do I clean my black New Balance 373s?
Gently wipe the shoes with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For tougher spots, use a small amount of mild shoe cleaner designed for sneakers, applied with a soft brush. Always allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
What is the typical fit of the New Balance 373?
The New Balance 373 generally offers a comfortable, standard fit. Most users find it true to size. If you are typically between sizes, or prefer a specific fit, consulting a New Balance size chart or trying them on is recommended.
Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?
While the shoes can handle light moisture, they are not waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain or standing water should be avoided to protect the materials and extend the lifespan of the shoes. Consider a water-repellent spray for added protection.
Do these shoes offer good arch support?
As a classic lifestyle sneaker, the New Balance 373 provides standard arch support suitable for everyday wear. For individuals requiring significant arch support due to specific foot conditions, custom orthotics or insoles may be considered.
What kind of socks should I wear with these 373s?
Any comfortable athletic or casual socks will pair well with your New Balance 373s. The choice of sock material and thickness can also influence the overall comfort and fit of the shoe.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose.
Adjust the lacing tension. Ensure laces are evenly tightened from toe to ankle. If still uncomfortable, re-verify your shoe size against New Balance's sizing guide, considering foot swelling throughout the day.
Squeaking sound when walking.
Check if the insole is properly seated or if there's any debris beneath it. Sometimes, a light application of talcum powder under the insole can resolve squeaking from friction. If the squeak comes from the sole, ensure it's clean and free of embedded objects.
Sole appears to lose grip over time.
Regularly clean the ribbed sole to remove dirt, mud, and small stones that can reduce traction. If the sole tread is visibly worn smooth, this indicates the shoes are nearing the end of their functional life for optimal grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup

Compatibility
These trainers are highly compatible with a wide array of casual and smart-casual attire. They pair excellently with:
- Bottoms: Jeans (denim, slim-fit, straight-leg), chinos, cargo pants, shorts.
- Tops: T-shirts, polo shirts, casual button-downs, hoodies, light sweaters.
- Occasions: Everyday wear, casual social events, urban exploration, light travel.
They are less suited for formal events, professional sports, or heavy-duty work environments.
Care
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your New Balance 373s.
- Regular Cleaning: For daily dirt and dust, gently wipe the shoes with a soft, damp cloth.
- Spot Cleaning: For more stubborn marks, use a mild shoe cleaner designed for sneakers. Apply with a soft brush or cloth, then wipe away any residue.
- Drying: Always allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as these can damage materials.
- Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
- Protection: Consider using a water and stain repellent spray suitable for footwear to offer an extra layer of protection, especially for lighter colored sections or if the material is suede (if applicable).
*Note: Specific material care depends on the exact fabric composition, which is not detailed for this variant. Follow general sneaker care guidelines.*
