FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
The New Balance 373 Trainers are designed primarily for casual wear and everyday comfort. They do not offer the specialized support and cushioning required for serious running or athletic training.
How do I clean the suede material?
For suede, it's best to use a suede brush to remove dry dirt. For stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and follow the product instructions carefully. Always allow suede to air dry.
What is the main benefit of the ribbed outsole?
The ribbed outsole is designed to provide enhanced traction and stability on various surfaces, helping to prevent slips and ensuring a more secure footing during daily activities.
Can these trainers be worn in wet weather?
While the shoes offer some protection, they are not waterproof. It is recommended to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to prevent damage and discomfort. Applying a water-repellent spray can offer some protection.

For general comfort, standard athletic or casual socks are recommended. The material of the sock can impact comfort, especially during longer wear periods.

Troubleshooting
Uncomfortable fit
Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. Try wearing them with appropriate socks. Allow for a short break-in period as the materials adapt to your foot shape.
Slight squeaking sound
This can sometimes occur due to friction between parts of the shoe. Try applying a small amount of talcum powder or cornstarch under the insole or where the squeaking originates.
Loss of shape over time
Ensure the stiffened heel counter is properly aligned when wearing. Use shoe trees when not in use to help maintain the shoe's structure.
