FAQs
Are these sneakers suitable for all-weather conditions?
These sneakers are designed for everyday casual wear in dry conditions. The linen material is not waterproof and may not be suitable for heavy rain or wet environments.
How do I choose the right size for my child?
We recommend measuring your child's foot length and comparing it to the New Balance size chart. Children's feet can grow quickly, so it's a good practice to re-measure every few months.
Can these shoes be worn for sports activities?
The New Balance 373 is primarily designed for casual, everyday wear and light activities. For specialized sports, we recommend footwear designed specifically for those activities to provide optimal support and protection.
What is the primary material of these sneakers?
These sneakers feature a classic New Balance construction. The product information indicates 'Linen' as a material component, likely referring to a part of the upper, contributing to its unique texture and appearance.
Are these sneakers machine washable?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the shoe's structure, adhesives, and materials. Please refer to the care instructions for proper cleaning methods.
Do these sneakers offer good arch support for kids?
New Balance generally designs its footwear with comfort and support in mind. The 373 model provides standard everyday support for children's feet. For specific arch support needs, consult a pediatrician or a foot specialist.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose for my child.
Ensure you have the correct size. Kids' feet grow quickly, so re-measure periodically. Lacing can also affect fit; adjust laces to be snug but not restrictive. Consider using thin or thick socks to adjust minor fit issues.
The sneakers get dirty quickly.
Regularly spot clean the shoes with a soft brush or damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a shoe cleaner specifically designed for sneakers, being mindful of the linen material.
Fading or discoloration of the beige material.
Direct and prolonged exposure to sunlight can cause fading. Store the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Regular cleaning with gentle products can also help maintain color.
Soles show wear prematurely.
While New Balance shoes are durable, constant use on rough surfaces can accelerate wear. Inspect the soles regularly. If wear is uneven, it might indicate a need for professional gait analysis for your child or a different type of footwear for specific activities.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup
Setting up your New Balance 373 sneakers is straightforward: simply put them on. Ensure they are laced comfortably, neither too tight nor too loose, to provide adequate support and prevent discomfort during wear. Always double-check the fit to ensure there is enough room for your child's toes to move freely.
Compatibility
These sneakers are highly compatible with casual children's attire, including jeans, shorts, skirts, and activewear. The neutral beige color makes them a versatile companion for almost any color palette. They are best suited for everyday wear and light recreational activities, not for specialized sports that require specific athletic footwear.
Care
To ensure the longevity and appearance of your New Balance 373 sneakers, follow these care guidelines:
- Spot Cleaning: For minor dirt and scuffs, use a soft brush or damp cloth with mild soap and water. Gently rub the affected areas. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Linen Material Care: Due to the linen material, avoid excessive scrubbing that could damage the fibers. Blot stains rather than rubbing aggressively. Allow to air dry naturally, away from direct heat.
- Drying: Always allow shoes to air dry at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage materials and adhesives.
- Avoid Machine Washing: Machine washing can damage the shoe's structure, adhesives, and materials. It is not recommended.
- Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material degradation and color fading.
