Setup, Compatibility & Care
Getting the most from your New Balance 373 sneakers involves proper fitting, understanding its compatible uses, and regular maintenance.
Setup
- Try On: Always try on both shoes with the type of socks you typically wear. Ensure there is about a thumb's width space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe.
- Lacing: Adjust laces to achieve a snug, comfortable fit without being too tight. Utilize all eyelets for optimal support.
- Break-In: While generally comfortable out of the box, a short break-in period may further enhance comfort.
Compatibility
- Apparel: Ideal for casual and athleisure wear, including jeans, shorts, leggings, casual skirts, and dresses.
- Activities: Best suited for daily wear, urban exploration, light walking, and social gatherings. Not recommended for strenuous sports like long-distance running or intense training.
Care
- Cleaning: For general cleaning, gently wipe the upper with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. For deeper cleaning, specialized shoe cleaners can be used according to product instructions.
- Outsole Care: Brush off dirt and debris from the ribbed outsole regularly to maintain traction.
- Drying: Always air dry sneakers away from direct heat or sunlight to prevent material damage. You can stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and help retain shape.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Avoid storing them in damp environments.
