FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
The New Balance 237 Trainers are designed primarily for casual wear and lifestyle. While they offer comfort for walking, they are not engineered for high-impact running or athletic training.
How do I choose the right size?
Refer to the New Balance sizing chart for accurate measurements. It is recommended to measure your foot length and compare it with the provided chart. Trying them on in-store if possible is the best approach.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, especially the suede and adhesives, and affect the shoe's structure.
What does the "NBLS" in the product code stand for?
While not explicitly detailed, "NBLS" is often an internal New Balance code related to the specific model or collection, distinguishing it from other product lines.
Do these trainers contain leather?
Yes, this item contains cow leather as part of its construction, specifically in the suede elements. Please review the product description for full material details.
How do I maintain the suede material?
Regularly brush the suede with a dedicated suede brush to keep it looking fresh. Use a suede eraser for small marks and consider a suede protector spray for added resistance to water and stains.
What is the main inspiration behind the 237 model?
The 237 model is inspired by the heritage of 1970s New Balance running shoes, reinterpreted into a contemporary and versatile silhouette with modern design touches.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Wear with thinner socks or try wearing the shoes for short periods to allow them to break in. Ensure the laces are not tied too tightly.
Suede appears matted or dirty
Use a suede brush to restore the nap of the suede. For stains, use a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner, following product instructions carefully.
Traction seems reduced
Clean the herringbone outsole with a damp cloth to remove any accumulated dirt or debris that may be affecting grip.
Laces are wearing out
Replace laces with standard shoe laces of a similar length and material. Many athletic footwear stores or online retailers offer replacements.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: For general cleaning, use a soft brush to remove loose dirt. For tougher stains on the suede and mesh, use a damp cloth with mild soap. Avoid soaking the shoes.
- Drying: Air dry the trainers naturally away from direct heat sources. Stuffing them with paper can help maintain their shape during drying.
- Suede Care: Use a suede eraser or a specialized suede brush to maintain the texture and appearance of the suede panels. Protectants can be applied to help repel water and stains, but always test on an inconspicuous area first.
- Outsole: Clean the outsole with a damp cloth to remove dirt and maintain traction.
