FAQs

Are New Balance 373 trainers suitable for running?

The New Balance 373 trainers are primarily designed for casual wear and light athletic activities. While inspired by classic running shoes, they do not offer the specialized support or cushioning required for high-performance running or intense training.

How do I clean the suede and mesh materials?

For suede, use a specialized suede brush to remove dirt and restore the nap. For mesh, wipe gently with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Always air dry away from direct heat. Avoid machine washing.

Are these trainers waterproof?

No, the New Balance 373 trainers are not waterproof. The suede and mesh upper is designed for breathability, not water resistance. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain or wet conditions may damage the materials and cause discomfort.

What is an EVA midsole?

EVA stands for Ethylene-vinyl acetate. It's a lightweight, flexible, and cushioned material used in midsoles to absorb impact and provide comfort. It's a key component in the 373 trainers for all-day wearability.

Do New Balance 373 trainers run true to size?

Most users find New Balance 373 trainers to fit true to size. However, foot shape can vary, so if you are between sizes, it's often recommended to try them on or consult a sizing chart. This specific variant is UK size 10.

Can I wear these trainers in all seasons?

The breathable mesh makes them comfortable for warmer weather, and the suede provides some warmth for cooler days. However, as they are not waterproof, they are less ideal for heavy rain or snowy conditions.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable.

Adjust the lacing to relieve pressure points. Try different lacing patterns if needed. Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks for the size. If the issue persists, verify the size is correct.

Suede looks dull or has visible scuff marks.

Use a suede brush to gently rub the affected area, lifting the nap and removing surface dirt. For more stubborn marks, a suede eraser can be effective. Always brush in one direction.

Trainers are starting to smell.

Remove the insoles and air them out. Sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes and let it sit overnight, then shake it out. Ensure shoes are thoroughly dry after wear, especially if feet sweat.

Lack of grip on certain surfaces.

Ensure the outsole is clean and free of embedded debris. While the rubber outsole provides good grip, extreme conditions (e.g., icy or very slippery wet surfaces) may exceed its traction capabilities. Avoid such surfaces when possible.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Stylish and versatile design suitable for many outfits and occasions.
  • Excellent all-day comfort thanks to EVA midsole, padded collar, and cushioned insole.
  • Durable construction with suede overlays.
  • Breathable mesh panels help keep feet cool.
  • Good grip and stability from the rubber outsole.

Cons

  • Info needed: May not offer sufficient support for high-impact or intense athletic activities.
  • Suede material may require specific care to maintain its appearance.
  • Info needed: Not waterproof, so unsuitable for very wet conditions.
  • Info needed: Arch support might be considered moderate compared to specialized running shoes.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Getting started with your New Balance 373 Trainers is straightforward, and proper care will ensure their longevity and appearance.

Initial Setup

  1. Lacing: Before wearing, ensure the trainers are laced correctly and comfortably. Adjust the laces to achieve a snug but not restrictive fit. A good lacing technique can significantly enhance comfort and support.
  2. First Wear: Wear your trainers for short periods initially to allow them to conform to your feet. This helps in 'breaking them in' naturally.

Compatibility

These trainers are designed for maximum compatibility with your wardrobe:

  • Outfits: Easily pair with casual clothing like denim jeans, cargo pants, shorts, hoodies, and t-shirts. Their classic aesthetic also allows them to blend well with smart-casual ensembles.
  • Occasions: Ideal for daily wear, casual social gatherings, light walking, and low-intensity activities.

Care & Maintenance

To keep your New Balance 373 Trainers looking their best and prolong their lifespan:

  • Cleaning the Upper: For the suede areas, use a dedicated suede brush to remove loose dirt and restore the nap. For mesh areas, gently wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid excessive moisture on suede. For tougher stains, consider a specialized shoe cleaner designed for mixed materials.
  • Midsole and Outsole: Wipe the EVA midsole and rubber outsole with a damp cloth to remove dirt and grime.
  • Drying: Always air dry your trainers away from direct heat sources (like radiators or direct sunlight) to prevent material damage or warping. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
  • Storage: Store trainers in a cool, dry place. Avoid leaving them in direct sunlight for prolonged periods.
  • Avoid Washing Machine: Do not machine wash your trainers, as this can damage the materials, adhesives, and overall structure.
