New Balance 373 Trainers - Black - Suede

The New Balance 373 Trainers are primarily designed for everyday wear, comfort, and casual activities such as walking and running errands. While they offer good cushioning and grip, they are not engineered for high-performance running or intensive gym workouts, which require specialized athletic footwear.

To clean suede, use a specialized suede brush to gently remove surface dirt and restore its texture. For tougher marks, apply a suede cleaner specifically designed for the material, following the product's instructions. Avoid using water directly on suede as it can leave lasting marks or alter the texture.

No, machine washing is not recommended for these trainers. It can damage the materials, particularly the suede, cushioning, and adhesives, potentially altering their shape and durability. It's best to spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap, then air dry.

The durable, patterned rubber outsole of the New Balance 373 provides reliable grip and traction for a variety of everyday surfaces, including pavements, indoor floors, and light outdoor paths. They are a versatile choice for urban environments and casual excursions.

The trainers feature a traditional lace-up fastening for a personalized fit. It is generally recommended to choose your standard UK shoe size. If you are unsure or between sizes, it can be beneficial to consult a New Balance size guide or try them on to ensure the best fit.

The combination of suede and mesh materials in these trainers is not inherently water-resistant. They are best suited for dry conditions. For added protection against light moisture, you can apply a protective spray specifically designed for suede and textile footwear.

Adjust the traditional lace-up fastening. Experiment with loosening or tightening specific sections of the laces to achieve an optimal and personalized fit for your foot shape. Ensure laces are evenly tensioned.

Use a dedicated suede brush to gently lift dirt and restore the nap. For more persistent stains, apply a specialized suede cleaner following the product's instructions. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first.

While mesh offers breathability, ensure you are wearing appropriate socks (e.g., moisture-wicking materials) that complement the trainers. Allow trainers to air out completely between wears to prevent odor and dampness.

The patterned rubber outsole provides reliable traction, but extreme conditions (like ice, oil, or very smooth wet surfaces) can still be slick. Regularly clean the outsole to prevent the buildup of dirt or debris that could diminish grip. Exercise caution on challenging surfaces.
