New Balance 373 Trainers - Grey - Suede - UK 7

The New Balance 373v2 is primarily designed as a lifestyle and casual shoe, offering comfort and style for everyday wear, walking, and light activities. While they provide general comfort, they are not engineered with the specialized support and cushioning required for high-impact running or intensive gym workouts.

For routine cleaning, gently brush off loose dirt with a soft brush. For stains, use a damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap, dabbing the affected area carefully. Avoid scrubbing or soaking the shoes. Let them air dry naturally away from direct heat.

New Balance sizing is generally consistent with standard UK shoe sizes. However, it's always recommended to try footwear on before purchase to ensure the best fit, as individual foot shapes can vary. This model is `UK 7`.

EVA (Ethylene-vinyl acetate) is a soft, flexible, and lightweight material used in the midsole. It provides excellent cushioning and shock absorption, contributing significantly to the trainers' overall comfort during daily wear by reducing impact on your feet and joints.

Due to the synthetic suede and mesh construction, these trainers are not fully waterproof. While they can handle light splashes, prolonged exposure to heavy rain or wet conditions is not recommended, as it can damage the materials and affect their appearance. Consider using a protective spray for water resistance.

Ensure you have the correct size. The `UK 7` size for this model should be accurate, but foot shapes vary. Try adjusting the lacing to relieve pressure points. Allow for a short break-in period as the materials conform to your foot.

Use a specialized suede brush or soft-bristled brush to gently remove surface dirt. For deeper stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner or a very lightly dampened cloth with mild soap, dabbing gently rather than rubbing. Always allow to air dry completely.

Try a double knot for added security. Ensure the laces are threaded properly through all eyelets to distribute tension evenly. You might also consider replacing the laces with a different material or type if the issue persists.
