New Balance WL373 - Grey - 3 UK

These shoes are designed as general sports shoes suitable for light running and active play. For serious or competitive running, specialized running shoes with advanced cushioning and support features would be more appropriate.

It's best to measure your child's foot length and compare it to the New Balance sizing chart. Allow for about a thumb's width of space between the longest toe and the end of the shoe for growth and comfort.

Due to the suede and textile materials, these shoes are not waterproof. We recommend avoiding heavy rain or wet conditions to prevent damage to the materials and maintain their appearance.

The sole is made from a blend of 50% EVA (Ethylene-vinyl acetate), which provides lightweight cushioning, and 50% rubber, which offers durability and traction.

Info needed: Check with New Balance customer service or authorized retailers for availability of replacement laces that match the original style and length.

The `WL373GW2` is typically a style or model code used by New Balance to identify specific variants of their shoes within the WL373 series, often denoting color or specific material combinations.

Adjust the laces. Ensure the laces are evenly tightened from the toe to the ankle. Try different sock thicknesses. If the issue persists, verify the shoe size against your child's foot measurements.

For light dirt, use a soft suede brush to gently rub away the dirt. For stains, a specialized suede cleaner designed for footwear can be used, following the product's instructions. Avoid water saturation.

Check the rubber sole for embedded debris like small stones or mud and clean it thoroughly. If the issue is persistent on certain surfaces, it might indicate wear on the sole's tread.

Allow the shoes to air out completely after each wear. Consider using shoe deodorizers or placing baking soda in the shoes overnight to absorb odors. Ensure your child wears clean socks.
