FAQs
Are New Balance 373V2 trainers suitable for running?
The New Balance 373V2 trainers are primarily designed for casual wear and light activities, offering comfort and style. While they provide good cushioning for daily walking, they are not optimized for high-intensity running or specialized athletic training.
How do I clean the suede and mesh upper?
For the synthetic suede and mesh upper, gently brush off loose dirt with a soft brush. For stains, use a mild shoe cleaner specifically designed for these materials, applied with a damp cloth. Always air dry away from direct heat.
What does 'EVA cushioning' mean?
EVA stands for Ethylene-vinyl acetate, which is a lightweight, flexible, and shock-absorbing foam material used in the midsole of the trainers. It provides comfortable cushioning and support for your feet throughout the day.
Does the antibacterial technology need special care?
No, the antibacterial technology is integrated into the materials and does not require special care. Simply follow the general cleaning and drying instructions, and the technology will continue to help keep your feet fresh.
Are these trainers available in other colors or sizes?
This specific product variant is Black and UK size 12. The New Balance 373 series typically offers a range of colors and sizes. Please check product listings for other available options.
What is the difference between 373 and 373V2?
The 'V2' typically indicates a version update or slight redesign of the original model. This usually includes minor enhancements in materials, fit, or aesthetic details, while maintaining the core characteristics of the 373 series. For example, the 373V2 features a synthetic suede/mesh upper.
Troubleshooting
My feet feel sweaty or uncomfortable after wearing for a while.
Ensure your laces are not too tight, which can restrict air circulation. The trainers feature breathable materials and antibacterial technology; ensure you allow them to air out after use. Consider wearing moisture-wicking socks.
The suede material on my trainers looks dirty or scuffed.
For light dirt, use a soft-bristled suede brush to gently remove debris. For more stubborn stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner and follow the product's instructions carefully. Avoid using water directly on suede as it can leave marks.
My trainers feel too tight or loose.
Adjust the lacing system. If still uncomfortable, double-check that you have the correct size (UK 12 for this variant). Your foot size can change slightly throughout the day; try adjusting laces mid-day if needed.
The sole seems to be losing its cushioning or support.
While EVA cushioning is durable, its performance can decrease over time with extensive use. Ensure you're using the trainers for their intended purpose (casual/light activity) to maximize their lifespan. If they are very old, it might be time for a new pair.

Care Instructions
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your trainers:

- Cleaning the Midsole/Outsole: Wipe the EVA midsole and rubber outsole with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove dirt and grime.
- Drying: Always air dry your trainers at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight, which can damage materials.
