FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running or sports?
The New Balance 373 series is designed primarily as a lifestyle trainer for everyday wear and casual activities. While comfortable for walking, they are not engineered with the specialized support and cushioning needed for high-performance running or intense sports.
How do I determine my correct size?
We recommend measuring your foot length and comparing it to the official New Balance size chart. The `UK 8` size provided is a standard fit. If you're between sizes, consider trying the next half size up for comfort, especially if you plan to wear thicker socks.
Can I machine wash my New Balance 373 trainers?
No, machine washing is generally not recommended as it can damage the materials, adhesives, and overall structure of the trainers. Always hand wash or spot clean using mild cleaners and air dry them away from direct heat.
What kind of socks should I wear with these trainers?
For optimal comfort and hygiene, wear moisture-wicking athletic or casual socks. The choice of sock thickness can also slightly influence the fit, so experiment to find what feels best for you.
Is the green color exactly as shown online?
Colors can sometimes vary slightly due to screen settings and lighting. However, the 'Green' colour family indicates a distinct green shade that complements the classic New Balance aesthetic.
Troubleshooting
My trainers feel uncomfortable or too tight.
Ensure you have the correct size. Try wearing them for short periods initially to break them in. If discomfort persists, consider trying different lacing techniques or insoles for a better fit. Double-check your foot measurement against the New Balance size chart.
The trainers are getting dirty quickly.
Regularly brush off loose dirt. For more stubborn stains, use a mild shoe cleaner and a soft brush or cloth. Apply a protective spray suitable for the shoe's material (if known) to repel water and stains before wearing them for the first time.
My trainers have developed an odor.
Remove insoles and allow the shoes to air out completely after each wear. Use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside overnight to absorb odors. Ensure you wear clean socks and consider rotating your trainers to allow them to fully dry out between uses.
The laces keep coming undone.
Try a double knot for added security. You might also consider replacing the laces with a different material or style that offers better grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Initial Setup
Setting up your New Balance 373 Trainers is as straightforward as putting on any pair of shoes. Simply unlace them, slide your foot in, and lace them up for a snug, comfortable fit. There's no complex technology or break-in period required, though some users may prefer a short period of light wear to fully mold them to their feet.

These trainers are highly compatible with a wide array of casual and smart-casual attire. They are designed for adult men but their unisex appeal means they often suit anyone looking for a classic trainer. Their `UK 8` sizing ensures a standard fit for those accustomed to UK footwear measurements.
- Outfits: Jeans, chinos, shorts, joggers, casual trousers.
- Activities: Walking, commuting, casual social events, daily errands.
- Seasons: Suitable for all seasons, though care should be taken in very wet or snowy conditions.
Product Care
Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your New Balance 373 Trainers:
- Spot Cleaning: For minor dirt or scuffs, use a soft brush or damp cloth with a mild soap solution. Gently rub the affected area.
- Deeper Cleaning: If needed, remove laces and insoles (if removable). Hand wash the exterior with warm water and a shoe cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Drying: Always air dry your trainers at room temperature. Do not put them in a dryer or expose them to direct heat, as this can damage materials and adhesives.
- Storage: Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
- Material Specifics: While the specific material for this green UK 8 variant isn't explicitly stated, check the label inside the shoe for material composition (e.g., synthetic, mesh, leather, suede). Different materials may require specific cleaning products (e.g., suede protector, leather conditioner).
- Regular Maintenance: Brush off loose dirt after wear to prevent build-up.
