FAQs
Are New Balance 373s true to size?
Generally, New Balance 373s are considered true to size for most users. However, fit can vary slightly based on individual foot shape. If you're between sizes, it's often recommended to consult a size chart or try them on.
Can I machine wash my New Balance 373 sneakers?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, especially suede, and compromise the shoe's structure. Always opt for spot cleaning or hand washing as outlined in the care instructions.
Are these sneakers suitable for running or sports?
The New Balance 373 is designed as a lifestyle and casual wear sneaker. While comfortable for everyday walking, it lacks the specialized cushioning, support, and stability features required for serious running or high-impact sports.
What materials are typically used in the New Balance 373?
The New Balance 373 typically features a combination of suede, mesh, and synthetic materials for the upper, providing a balance of breathability and durability. The sole is generally rubber for traction.
How do I maintain the vibrant pink color?
To maintain the pink color, avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. When cleaning, use gentle methods like a damp cloth with mild soap, and consider using a protective spray designed for colored footwear to repel stains and water.
Do these sneakers offer good arch support?
The New Balance 373 provides standard cushioning and support for a lifestyle sneaker. For individuals requiring significant arch support due to specific foot conditions, custom orthotics or additional insoles might be beneficial.
Troubleshooting
My sneakers feel too tight.
Ensure you've selected the correct size. Try adjusting the lacing pattern to a looser style, or allow a short break-in period for the materials to conform to your foot.
There's a squeaking sound when I walk.
Check if the insole is rubbing against the inside of the shoe; try removing it, cleaning the area, and reinserting. A small amount of baby powder under the insole can also reduce friction. If the squeak is from the sole, check for trapped debris.
The pink color is fading.
Minimize prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can cause color degradation. For cleaning, use products specifically designed for colored fabrics and avoid harsh chemicals.
My feet feel hot and sweaty.
Ensure you're wearing breathable socks made from materials like cotton or moisture-wicking synthetics. Allow your sneakers to air out completely between wears to prevent moisture buildup.

Care
Proper care extends the life and appearance of your New Balance 373s:
- Spot Cleaning: For minor dirt, use a soft brush or damp cloth with a mild soap. Gently scrub the affected area.
- Laces: Remove laces and hand wash them with soap and water, then air dry.
- Drying: Always air dry your sneakers away from direct heat or sunlight to prevent material damage or shrinking. Do not put them in a dryer.
- Deep Cleaning (Caution): For more thorough cleaning, use specialized sneaker cleaning solutions. Always test on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid submerging the entire shoe in water, especially if it contains suede.
- Odor Control: Use shoe deodorizers or place baking soda packets inside when not in use to absorb moisture and odors.
- Storage: Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
