FAQs
Are the New Balance 373 v2 shoes suitable for long-distance running?
No, these are classified as lifestyle trainers and do not contain the specialized stability or impact-absorption technology required for long-distance running.
Can I remove the insoles to use custom orthotics?
Yes, the insoles are removable, making the 373 v2 a good candidate for users who need to insert their own custom arch supports.
How do I determine the correct size?
The 373 v2 fits standard sizing. We recommend ordering the size you typically wear in casual footwear.
Are these shoes machine washable?
No, machine washing can damage the structure and materials of the trainer. Always spot clean by hand.
Is the 373 v2 waterproof?
These shoes are not waterproof. They are made from breathable materials that are designed for airflow rather than moisture resistance.
Troubleshooting
Inner lining feeling damp or sweaty
Ensure you are wearing moisture-wicking socks and allow the shoes to air out in a well-ventilated area for 24 hours between wears.
Difficulty cleaning stubborn marks on suede
Use a specialized suede eraser or a soft-bristled brush specifically designed for suede to gently lift marks without damaging the texture.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 373 v2 stays in peak condition, proper care is essential:
- Break-in: While generally comfortable out of the box, wear them for shorter durations for the first few days to allow the materials to adapt to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Remove surface dirt with a soft brush. For deeper stains, use a mild detergent mixed with water and a soft cloth. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using a washing machine, as this can degrade the adhesive and fabric.
- Storage: Keep them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading of the grey colorway and premature degradation of the materials.
- Compatibility: These trainers fit standard adult sizing. It is recommended to stick to your true-to-size measurement, as the toe box is designed for a regular fit.
