The New Balance 373 is primarily designed for casual wear and everyday comfort. While suitable for light walking, they are not engineered for the specialized support and cushioning required for running or high-impact athletic activities.
We recommend trying them on to ensure the best fit. New Balance sizing can be consistent, but personal comfort is key. Ensure your toes have enough room in the `rounded soft toe` area without your heel slipping.
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, adhesives, and structure of the shoe, including the `stiffened heel counter`. Always opt for spot cleaning and air drying.
For optimal comfort and to prevent moisture build-up, we recommend wearing athletic or casual socks made from breathable materials. The choice depends on your personal preference and activity level.
The New Balance 373 provides standard comfort and heel support with its `stiffened heel counter`. For individuals requiring specific arch support, we recommend consulting a podiatrist or considering aftermarket insoles.
Regularly clean the `ribbed outsole` to remove any dirt, mud, or debris that might accumulate. A clean outsole ensures maximum contact with surfaces, maintaining optimal traction.
Adjust the lacing. If still uncomfortable, ensure you have the correct size. New Balance sizes can vary slightly, so try on different sizes if possible.
Often caused by moisture or friction between the insole and the shoe's interior. Try removing and reinserting the insole, or sprinkle a small amount of baby powder underneath it.
Gently clean the affected area with a soft brush or cloth, using a mild soap and water solution. For tougher stains, a specialized sneaker cleaner may be needed. Always air dry.
Ensure the `ribbed outsole` is clean and free of debris. If the outsole tread is significantly worn down, it may be time to consider replacing the sneakers for safety.
Remove insoles and allow both insoles and shoes to air out. Use odor-absorbing inserts or sprays. Ensure shoes are completely dry after wear or cleaning.
Using your New Balance 373 Sneakers is straightforward. Simply loosen the laces, slide your foot in, adjust the tongue, and tie the laces to a comfortable, secure fit. Ensure your heel is seated correctly against the `stiffened heel counter` for optimal support.
The classic design of the 373 makes it highly compatible with a wide range of casual attire. It pairs well with:
Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your sneakers.
