FAQs
What is the primary use for the New Balance 373 sneakers?
The New Balance 373 is designed for everyday casual wear, offering comfort and style for daily activities, errands, and casual social outings.
Are these shoes suitable for running or sports?
No, while comfortable for general walking, the New Balance 373 is not engineered for high-performance running, intense gym workouts, or competitive sports. For athletic activities, consider specific New Balance performance models.
How do I clean the textile and leather/suede parts of my 373s?
For textile, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush or cloth. For suede/leather, use a specialized suede brush to remove dirt, and a damp cloth for gentle spot cleaning. Always air dry away from heat. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Are the New Balance 373 sneakers waterproof?
No, the New Balance 373, with its textile and suede-like components, is not waterproof. They offer minimal protection against moisture, so it's best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions. A protective spray can offer some water resistance.
What materials are used in the construction of this shoe?
The New Balance 373 features a blend of Textile, Leather, and Rubber in its upper construction, combined with a durable rubber outsole for grip and longevity.
Is the sizing true to standard UK shoe sizes?
New Balance generally aims for true-to-size fit. However, individual foot shapes vary. It's recommended to try them on with your usual socks or consult a New Balance size guide if you're unsure. This specific model is a UK 6.5 (EU 40).
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable after initial wear.
Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. If still tight, check if the lacing is too restrictive. The mixed materials may slightly adapt over time, but if discomfort persists, re-evaluate the sizing.
Light-colored shoes are getting dirty very quickly.
Regularly brush off surface dirt after each wear. Consider applying a water and stain repellent spray specifically designed for footwear to create a protective barrier. For existing dirt, follow the care instructions for spot cleaning.
Shoes develop an unpleasant odor.
Ensure shoes are fully aired out after each use, especially if worn without socks or in warm conditions. Remove insoles occasionally for separate airing. You can also use shoe deodorizers, baking soda packets, or cedar shoe inserts to absorb moisture and odor.
