FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running or sports?
While inspired by classic running shoes, the New Balance 373 is primarily designed for casual wear and lifestyle purposes. They offer comfort for daily walking but are not engineered for high-performance running or intense athletic activities.
How do I clean the suede parts of the shoe?
Use a suede brush to gently remove dirt and restore the texture. For tougher spots, a dedicated suede cleaner should be applied according to the product's instructions. Avoid getting suede excessively wet.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, adhesives, and overall structure of the shoes. Always opt for spot cleaning and air drying.
Are they true to size?
New Balance shoes generally run true to size, but fit can vary. It's usually best to refer to New Balance's official size guide if you're unsure or consider trying them on if possible.
What's the best way to protect my new trainers?
To protect against water and stains, especially on the suede, apply a good quality shoe protector spray designed for suede and fabric before the first wear. Reapply periodically as recommended by the spray manufacturer.
Are these trainers breathable?
Yes, the mesh panels integrated into the upper material enhance breathability, helping to keep your feet cooler and more comfortable, especially during longer periods of wear.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dirty or faded
Use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt and refresh the nap. For stains, apply a suede cleaner according to its instructions. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive water.
Shoes develop an odor
Remove insoles (if possible) and air them out. You can use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes and leave it overnight to absorb odors, then shake it out.
Poor grip or slipping on certain surfaces
Ensure the outsoles are clean and free of embedded debris, as this can reduce traction. While the rubber outsole provides good grip, these shoes are not designed for extreme slippery conditions like ice or heavily oiled surfaces.
Shoes feel less comfortable over time
The cushioned insole may compact over extensive use. Consider replacing the insoles with new, supportive ones if the original cushioning has significantly degraded.

Care Instructions
To ensure your New Balance 373 trainers maintain their appearance and last longer, follow these care tips:
- Spot Cleaning: For general dirt and grime, use a soft brush or cloth lightly dampened with water and mild soap. Gently rub the affected areas.
- Suede Care: For suede sections, use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt and restore the nap. For tougher stains, use a suede cleaner product. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first.
- Mesh Care: Mesh can be gently cleaned with a soft brush or cloth and mild soapy water.
- Drying: Always air dry your trainers away from direct heat sources or sunlight. Do not put them in a washing machine or dryer, as this can damage materials and adhesives.
- Protection: Consider applying a suede and fabric protector spray before first wear and periodically thereafter, especially if you anticipate exposure to light moisture.
- Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
