New Balance 373 Trainers - Brown - 4 UK

The New Balance 373 Trainers are primarily designed for versatile casual wear and light activities such as walking, light gym sessions, or everyday comfort. While they offer good cushioning, they are not optimized for performance running or high-intensity workouts.

For suede, use a specialized suede brush to remove dirt and a suede cleaner for stains, following the product instructions. For the mesh and synthetic parts, gently wipe with a damp cloth and a mild soap solution. Always air dry your trainers away from direct heat.

The New Balance 373 features a signature cushioned midsole which provides a comfortable level of general support suitable for daily wear. For individuals requiring specific or advanced arch support, these trainers can often accommodate custom orthotics or aftermarket insoles.

While the suede and mesh upper offers durability, these trainers are not waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain or puddles can damage the materials and affect their longevity. It's best to avoid very wet conditions to preserve your trainers.

The outsole is made of durable rubber, featuring a distinctive ribbed pattern. This design is engineered to provide reliable traction and grip, making them suitable for walking on various everyday surfaces.

New Balance trainers, including the 373 series, generally run true to size. We recommend ordering your usual UK shoe size. If you are typically between sizes, it might be beneficial to try the larger size for optimal comfort, especially if you plan to wear thicker socks.

The stiffened heel counter is an important feature that provides enhanced stability and support for your heel and ankle. This helps to secure your foot within the shoe, contributing to overall comfort and reducing movement, especially during walking or light activities.

Adjust the lacing. Ensure you are using all eyelets for a secure fit, and experiment with different lacing patterns if needed to accommodate your foot width or arch. Lacing them looser at the bottom and tighter at the top can help with wider feet, for example.

Use a soft-bristled suede brush to gently restore the nap of the suede and remove surface dirt. Brush in one direction. For deeper scuffs or shiny spots, a specialized suede eraser can be effective, followed by brushing.

This is often caused by the insoles rubbing against the shoe's interior. Try removing and reinserting the insoles, ensuring they are seated correctly. Alternatively, lightly sprinkle a small amount of baby powder or baking soda underneath the insoles to reduce friction.
