FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While inspired by classic running shoes, the New Balance 373 is primarily designed for casual wear and light sporty occasions, not high-performance running.
How do I determine my size?
These trainers are listed in UK sizes. It's recommended to refer to New Balance's official sizing chart or try them on to ensure the best fit. This specific pair is a UK size 5.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
No, machine washing is not recommended, especially due to the suede material, which can be damaged by water and agitation. Refer to the 'Care' section for cleaning instructions.
What kind of socks should I wear with these?
For optimal comfort and breathability, we recommend wearing moisture-wicking athletic or casual socks, especially during warmer weather or extended wear.
Are these suitable for wet weather?
Due to the suede and mesh materials, these trainers offer limited water resistance. For wet conditions, consider using a water-repellent spray designed for these materials, but avoid heavy rain.
Is the 'N' logo reflective?
The iconic 'N' logo on this model is typically a non-reflective accent, part of the shoe's classic design rather than a functional reflective element.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks dull or stained
Use a specialized suede brush to restore the nap and a suede eraser or cleaner for stains. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Shoes feel less comfortable over time
Check if insoles are worn out; consider replacing them with new cushioned insoles. Ensure laces are tied correctly for optimal support.
Unpleasant odor
Remove insoles and air out shoes. Use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside when not in use. Ensure socks are breathable.
Sole grip seems reduced
Clean the outsole regularly to remove accumulated dirt and debris, which can reduce traction. Check for excessive wear on the tread.

Care
Due to the suede and mesh construction, proper care is essential to maintain the trainers' appearance and longevity.
- Regular Cleaning: Gently brush off dry dirt and dust using a soft brush.
- Spot Cleaning Suede: For stains on suede, use a specialized suede cleaner and brush. Follow product instructions carefully. Avoid excessive moisture.
- Cleaning Mesh: For mesh areas, use a mild soap solution and a soft cloth or brush. Wipe gently and rinse with a damp cloth.
- Drying: Always allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can damage materials.
- Protection: Consider applying a water and stain protector spray designed for suede and textile materials before initial wear and periodically thereafter.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
