New Balance 373 - Blue - UK 11

The New Balance 373 features an upper crafted from a premium blend of synthetic suede overlays and breathable mesh panels, combined with a lightweight EVA midsole and a durable rubber outsole.

While the 373 offers comfort and support for light activities and casual sports, they are primarily designed as an everyday lifestyle shoe and are not engineered for high-performance running or intense athletic training.

For the suede, use a suede brush to remove dirt and a specialized suede cleaner for stains. For mesh areas, a mild soap and water solution with a soft cloth works well. Always air dry away from direct heat.

The New Balance 373 trainers feature a cushioned insole and lightweight EVA midsole which provides a comfortable level of support suitable for daily wear and casual activities. For specific arch support needs, custom orthotics may be considered.

The New Balance 373 generally offers a true-to-size fit. The padded collar and cushioned insole contribute to a comfortable, secure feel for most foot shapes.

The suede and mesh construction of the 373 trainers provides limited water resistance. It's advisable to avoid heavy rain or very wet conditions to protect the materials and maintain their appearance. A protective spray can offer some defense against light moisture.

New shoes, especially those with suede, may require a short break-in period. Wear them for shorter durations initially to allow the materials to conform to your foot shape. Ensure laces are not tied too tightly.

Use a suede brush to gently restore the nap and remove surface dirt. For more significant discoloration, a specialized suede eraser or cleaner can help revive the color. Always test products on an inconspicuous area first.

Regularly check the rubber outsole for excessive wear or embedded debris. Clean the outsole with a damp cloth and mild soap to ensure optimal traction. If the tread is significantly worn, replacement might be necessary.

Allow shoes to air out between wears. Consider using odor-absorbing inserts or sprays. Ensure you wear breathable socks to help manage moisture and reduce odor buildup.
