FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
No, the New Balance 373 is primarily designed as a lifestyle and casual shoe. While comfortable for everyday walking, it lacks the specialized support and cushioning required for running or high-impact athletic activities.
What materials are the New Balance 373 made from?
The New Balance 373 features a classic blend of materials, typically including suede, mesh, and synthetic overlays for the upper, and a rubber outsole. Info needed: exact material composition for this specific variant.
How do I clean my New Balance 373 trainers?
For general cleaning, brush off loose dirt. For stains, use a damp cloth with mild soap, wiping gently. Air dry completely. Avoid machine washing or harsh chemicals, which can damage the shoe.
Is the sizing true to fit?
New Balance generally runs true to size. For the New Balance 373 UK 8.5, most users find their standard size comfortable. However, fit can vary slightly by individual foot shape.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
While they can handle light moisture, the New Balance 373 is not waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain should be avoided, especially for suede materials, to prevent damage and discoloration. Consider using a water-repellent spray for added protection.
Do these shoes offer good arch support?
The New Balance 373 provides standard everyday arch support suitable for casual wear. If you require significant arch support due to specific foot conditions, you might consider adding custom orthotics.
What does 'classic silhouette' mean?
'Classic silhouette' refers to the shoe's design retaining traditional and iconic styling cues from New Balance's heritage, offering a timeless aesthetic that doesn't follow fleeting trends.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you have the correct size. Try wearing them with different sock thicknesses. The New Balance 373 in UK 8.5 should offer a comfortable fit; if not, consider trying an alternative size.
Soles appear to lose grip
Inspect the ribbed sole for excessive wear or embedded debris. Clean the sole thoroughly to remove any dirt or small stones that might be affecting traction.
Foul odor develops inside the shoes
Allow shoes to air out completely after each wear. Use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside when not in use. Ensure socks are clean and breathable.
