New Balance 373 - Green - UK 9.5

No, the New Balance 373 is designed primarily for casual, everyday wear and comfort, not for high-performance running or strenuous athletic activities. For sports, we recommend New Balance's specialized athletic footwear lines.

For general cleaning, use a soft brush or damp cloth with mild soap and water. Gently scrub and then wipe clean. Air dry at room temperature. Avoid machine washing or using harsh chemical cleaners.

The New Balance 373 generally offers a comfortable, true-to-size fit for casual wear. However, individual foot shapes vary. If you are between sizes, it's often recommended to consult a size chart or try them on.

The New Balance 373 often combines a mix of materials such as suede, mesh, synthetic overlays, and sometimes leather for the upper, with a rubber outsole and an EVA foam midsole for comfort and durability. Specific material composition can vary by variant.

While the trainers offer some protection, they are not waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain or wet conditions may saturate the materials and affect comfort. It's best to avoid heavy wet weather or consider a waterproof treatment for the upper.

To extend the life of your trainers, clean them regularly, air dry them after use, store them in a cool, dry place, and use them for their intended purpose (casual wear) to minimize unnecessary wear and tear.

The New Balance 373 may require a short break-in period. Wear them for brief intervals initially, and ensure laces are not tied too tightly. If discomfort persists, double-check your sizing against New Balance's size guide.

Regular cleaning is key. Use a soft brush or damp cloth with mild soap for light dirt. For tougher marks, a specialized trainer cleaner may be needed. Avoid abrasive materials that could damage the shoe's surface.

Remove insoles and allow the trainers to air out thoroughly. Consider using shoe deodorizers, cedar shoe trees, or sprinkling a small amount of baking soda inside overnight to absorb odors.

Inspect the walking surfaces you typically use. While durable for casual wear, constant use on rough or abrasive surfaces can accelerate wear. Ensure the trainers are used for their intended purpose of everyday casual wear.

Try using a 'surgeon's knot' or double knotting for a more secure fastening. Ensure the laces are free of fraying or damage that might prevent them from holding a knot.
