FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
While inspired by 1970s running shoes, the New Balance 237 are primarily designed for casual wear and light activities. They offer comfort for everyday use but may not provide the specialized support and cushioning needed for serious or high-impact running.
How do I clean the suede and mesh upper?
Gently brush the suede with a soft brush to remove dry dirt. For stains, use a slightly damp cloth or a specialized suede cleaner, following the product's instructions. Allow to air dry and brush again.
What material is the midsole made of?
The midsole is made of EVA (Ethylene-vinyl acetate), which provides lightweight cushioning and shock absorption.
What does the 'oversized N' branding signify?
The oversized 'N' logo is a contemporary design feature that adds a bold, distinctive visual element to the trainer's silhouette, distinguishing it from traditional designs.
How heavy are the New Balance 237 trainers?
These trainers weigh approximately 337 grams (11.9 oz), making them relatively lightweight for comfortable all-day wear.
Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?
The suede and mesh upper is not waterproof. While the outsole provides traction, it's best to avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain or wet conditions to protect the materials.
What is the heel height of these trainers?
The heel height is flat, consistent with a casual trainer design.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure you have selected the correct size. If the shoes are new, they may need a short break-in period. You can also try loosening the laces and re-tying them for a more customized fit.
Suede appears discolored or dirty
Use a suede brush to gently remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, use a suede-specific cleaner and follow the product's instructions. Allow to dry naturally and brush again.
Traction feels reduced
Check the herringbone outsole for embedded debris. Clean the sole with a brush and water if necessary. Ensure the shoes are completely dry before use.
Laces are difficult to keep tied
Try using a double knot when tying the laces. Consider replacing the laces with a different material that offers more grip.
