FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for serious running?

The New Balance 237 Trainers are inspired by 1970s running shoes and are comfortable for everyday wear and light jogging. For intense or long-distance running, dedicated performance running shoes are recommended.

How do I clean the suede material?

Gently brush off loose dirt with a suede brush. For stains, use a suede eraser or a slightly damp cloth. Always allow suede to air dry completely.

What does the 'N' logo signify?

The oversized 'N' logo is a signature branding element of New Balance, updated in a contemporary style on the 237 series.

Are these trainers waterproof?

No, the suede and mesh upper is not waterproof. They offer breathability but are not designed for wet conditions.

What is the weight of the trainers?

The trainers weigh approximately 337 grams (11.9 oz).

Can I put these in the washing machine?

It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers, especially due to the suede material. Hand cleaning is the preferred method.

What is the material of the outsole?

The outsole is made of rubber and features a herringbone pattern for traction.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dirty or stained

Use a suede eraser for dry marks. For minor stains, gently wipe with a slightly damp cloth and allow to air dry. Avoid harsh chemicals.

Laces are worn or dirty

Replace laces with standard shoelaces. They can be hand-washed separately.

Reduced cushioning over time

While the EVA midsole is durable, significant wear may reduce cushioning. For prolonged issues, consider replacement.
