FAQs
Are these sneakers suitable for running?
No, the New Balance 373 sneakers are designed for everyday casual wear and comfort. While they offer good support for walking, they are not engineered for high-performance running or intense athletic activities that require specialized cushioning and stability systems.
How do I choose the right size?
This specific model is a UK 3.5 adult size. New Balance sizes typically run true to size. For the best fit, we recommend measuring your foot length and comparing it to the official New Balance size chart to ensure accuracy.
Can I machine wash these sneakers?
Machine washing is not recommended for the New Balance 373. It can damage the materials, adhesives, and overall structure of the shoe. Please refer to the 'Care and Maintenance' section for proper cleaning instructions using mild soap and air drying.
What type of activities are these shoes best for?
These sneakers are ideal for daily casual wear, light walking, urban commuting, and social outings. Their design focuses on providing comfort and style for a wide range of everyday, non-athletic activities.
Does the stiffened heel counter offer significant support?
Yes, the stiffened heel counter is a key feature of the 373, designed to provide enhanced rearfoot stability and support. This helps to secure your foot within the shoe, contributing to overall comfort and reducing fatigue during extended wear.
Do these shoes offer arch support?
The New Balance 373 provides a standard level of built-in arch support suitable for general casual wear. For individuals with specific arch support needs or conditions, custom orthotic insoles may be used if desired, provided they fit comfortably within the shoe.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or too loose.
Ensure you have selected the correct size (this model is UK 3.5 for adults). Try adjusting the lacing pattern to better suit your foot's width and instep. Experiment with loosening or tightening laces until a comfortable, secure fit is achieved. Consider wearing socks of different thicknesses.
Squeaking sound when walking.
A common cause can be a loose insole rubbing against the inside of the shoe. Try removing the insole and re-inserting it, ensuring it's flat and securely seated. If the squeaking persists, it may be due to moisture trapped between shoe components or a new outsole breaking in; this often resolves with continued wear.
Outsole grip seems insufficient on wet surfaces.
While the ribbed outsole offers good general traction for casual urban environments, it is not designed for specialized wet-weather performance. Always exercise caution on very wet, icy, or extremely smooth surfaces. The 373 prioritizes everyday comfort over extreme grip in adverse conditions.
Materials look dull or stained after some wear.
Regular cleaning is key. Follow the 'Care and Maintenance' guidelines to spot clean and remove dirt promptly. For stubborn stains, a specialized sneaker cleaner designed for the material type (e.g., synthetic, suede) may be effective. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first.
