FAQs

How should I clean my New Balance 373 sneakers?

For general cleaning, wipe the exterior with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing. Let them air dry completely away from direct heat.

Are these sneakers suitable for running or sports?

The New Balance 373 series is primarily designed for casual wear and light walking, offering comfort and style. They are not engineered for high-performance running or intense athletic activities.

What does the 'stiffened heel counter' feature do?

The stiffened heel counter provides added support and stability to the back of your foot, helping to secure your heel in place and contribute to overall comfort during wear.

Do these sneakers run true to size?

New Balance sizing is generally consistent. However, individual fit can vary. It's recommended to refer to a New Balance size guide or try them on to ensure the best fit for your feet.

Are there other colours or sizes available in the 373 series?

Yes, the New Balance 373 series is a popular model and is typically available in a variety of colour families and adult sizes. Availability may vary by retailer and region.

Can I wear these sneakers in wet weather?

While the ribbed outsole provides traction, these sneakers are not waterproof. We advise avoiding heavy rain or puddles to protect the materials and ensure longevity. If they get wet, allow them to air dry fully.

Troubleshooting

Sneakers feel uncomfortable or too tight/loose.

Verify you have the correct size. Try adjusting the lacing pattern or tightness to better accommodate your foot shape. Consider wearing different socks.

Slipping on certain surfaces.

Inspect the ribbed outsole for excessive wear or accumulation of dirt/debris. Clean the outsole thoroughly to restore traction. Avoid very slick or wet surfaces if traction is compromised.

Unpleasant odour developing inside the sneakers.

Regularly air out your sneakers by removing them after use. Consider using odour-absorbing inserts or shoe deodorizer sprays. Ensure socks are clean and breathable.

Stains on the fabric/upper material.

Address stains immediately with a gentle spot cleaning method (mild soap and water on a soft cloth). Test any cleaning solution on an inconspicuous area first to prevent damage or discolouration.

Care

Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your New Balance 373 sneakers. Follow these general guidelines:

  1. Spot Cleaning: For dirt or stains, gently wipe the affected area with a soft cloth dampened with mild soap and water. Avoid harsh chemicals.
  2. Drying: Always allow your sneakers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as this can damage materials.
  3. Odour Prevention: To minimize odours, remove insoles occasionally to air out, or use shoe deodorizers.
  4. Storage: Store sneakers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Maintaining their shape with shoe trees or crumpled paper can be beneficial.
  5. Avoid Submerging: Do not machine wash or fully submerge the sneakers in water unless specified by New Balance for this specific model, as it can damage adhesives and materials.
