FAQs
Are New Balance 373 sneakers suitable for running?
The New Balance 373 is designed as a classic lifestyle sneaker, offering comfort and style for everyday wear. While you can wear them for light walking, they are not engineered with the specialized support and cushioning required for high-performance running.
How do I clean my New Balance 373 shoes?
For general cleaning, use a soft brush or cloth with mild soap and cold water to gently scrub the surface. For textile areas, blot gently. Air dry completely at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight. Avoid machine washing or drying.
Are these shoes true to size?
New Balance 373 sneakers generally fit true to size. However, foot shapes vary, so it's always recommended to try them on or consult a New Balance size chart for the most accurate fit.
What materials are the New Balance 373 made from?
The New Balance 373 typically features a mixed-material upper, often combining synthetic overlays with textile panels for breathability and durability. Some specific variants may incorporate linen or other unique textile elements, complemented by a durable rubber outsole.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
The New Balance 373 is not waterproof. While it can handle light drizzle, extended exposure to heavy rain or wet conditions may lead to wet feet and potentially damage the materials. Consider applying a water-repellent spray for added protection.
What is the intended age group for this particular variant?
This particular New Balance 373 (Beige, 7 UK) is specified for 'kids' in its attributes. Other variants of the 373 series are available for adults and children, so always check the specific product's age group and size details.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable.
Ensure you've selected the correct size. Try wearing thinner socks, or allow a brief break-in period. If discomfort persists, consider exchanging for a half-size larger.
Squeaking sound when walking.
Often, squeaking comes from insoles rubbing against the shoe's interior. Try removing the insoles, cleaning underneath them, and applying a small amount of baby powder. If the squeak is from the sole, it might be due to trapped moisture; allow shoes to air dry completely.
Shoes get dirty easily or stains are hard to remove.
Regularly wipe down your shoes after each use to prevent dirt buildup. For stubborn stains, use a dedicated sneaker cleaner and a soft brush. For specific textile components like linen, blot stains gently rather than rubbing aggressively.
My feet get sweaty.
Wear moisture-wicking socks. Remove insoles after use to allow them and the shoe interior to air out. Consider using foot powder or shoe deodorizers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup
- Try On: Ensure you have the correct size for optimal comfort and fit. Pay attention to toe room and heel slip.
- Lacing: Lace up your sneakers to a comfortable snugness, avoiding overly tight or loose lacing.
- Break-in: While generally comfortable from day one, allow a short break-in period (a few wears) for the shoes to fully conform to your feet.
Compatibility

Care
To maintain the appearance and longevity of your New Balance 373 sneakers:
- Spot Cleaning: For dirt and scuffs, gently wipe the affected areas with a soft cloth or sponge dampened with mild soap and cold water. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Deep Cleaning: For a more thorough clean, remove laces and insoles. Hand wash the exterior with a brush or cloth and a gentle sneaker cleaner. For textile areas (including linen components), be extra gentle to avoid damaging the fabric.
- Drying: Always air dry your sneakers at room temperature. Never put them in a washing machine or dryer, as this can damage materials and adhesives.
- Odor Control: Remove insoles occasionally and let them air out. You can also use shoe deodorizers.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or extreme temperatures to prevent material degradation.
