FAQs
Are these sneakers suitable for running or gym workouts?
No, the New Balance 373 Sneaker is primarily designed for casual wear and light walking. It does not provide the specialized support, cushioning, or durability required for high-impact activities like running or intensive gym workouts.
How do I clean my New Balance 373 sneakers?
We recommend spot cleaning with a soft cloth or brush, cold water, and a mild soap. Gently scrub dirty areas, wipe off soap residue with a clean, damp cloth, and then air dry completely away from direct heat or sunlight. Do not machine wash.
What materials are the New Balance 373 made from?
Info needed: [Specific material composition of the New Balance 373 Blue - 5.5 UK sneaker, typically a blend of synthetic, suede, and mesh overlays for the upper, with a rubber outsole and EVA midsole.]
Can I wear these sneakers in wet weather?
While the materials offer some resistance, the New Balance 373 sneakers are not waterproof. We advise against wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to preserve their condition and avoid water damage to the materials.
What is the best way to find my correct size?
For the best fit, we recommend referring to the official New Balance sizing chart. If possible, measure your foot length and compare it to the chart. Since these are a UK size 5.5, ensure this corresponds to your usual comfortable sneaker size.
Are there other color options available for the 373 series?
Yes, the New Balance 373 series is known for its wide range of colorways and finishes. While this specific guide is for the Blue variant, you can often find other colors to suit different preferences.
Troubleshooting
Sneakers feel tight or uncomfortable.
Ensure you have the correct size. New Balance sizes can vary slightly, so refer to a sizing guide. Allow a short break-in period for the materials to conform to your foot.
Squeaking sound when walking.
Check if the insole is properly seated or if it's rubbing against the shoe's interior. Sometimes a little baby powder under the insole can resolve this. Also, ensure the outsole is clean and free of debris.
Persistent dirt or stains.
For stubborn stains, a sneaker-specific cleaning solution might be needed. Always test any cleaner on an inconspicuous area first. For light-colored variants (not applicable to this blue one, but generally useful), avoid wearing in muddy conditions.
Outsole grip seems reduced.
Clean the ribbed outsole thoroughly to remove any embedded dirt or small stones that might be impacting traction. Inspect the outsole for excessive wear; if the tread is significantly worn, it might be time for a new pair.
