FAQs
Are these New Balance 373 trainers suitable for athletic activities like running?
No, the New Balance 373 trainers are designed as a lifestyle shoe for casual wear and everyday comfort, not for high-performance athletic activities like running or intensive sports.
How do I best clean the suede material on these trainers?
For cleaning suede, use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt and a suede eraser for scuffs. For deeper stains, apply a suede cleaning solution according to the product's instructions. Always air dry away from direct heat.
Can I wear these trainers in rainy weather?
While the trainers offer some protection, suede is not naturally waterproof. It's recommended to apply a water and stain repellent spray for suede before wearing them in wet conditions, and to avoid heavy rain to preserve the material.
What is the sole material of these trainers?
The sole of the New Balance 373 trainers is made from 100% durable rubber, providing good traction and longevity.
What kind of heel do these trainers have?
These trainers feature a flat heel, designed for stable and comfortable everyday wear.
Are these trainers true to size?
New Balance sizing is generally consistent. It is recommended to choose your usual UK shoe size for adults, or try them on to ensure the best fit, especially considering any specific sock preferences.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dull or has minor scuffs
Use a dedicated suede brush to gently brush the nap of the suede in one direction. For scuffs, use a suede eraser with light pressure to lift the mark.
Shoes feel too tight or loose
Adjust the lace tension. Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks for the fit you desire. If the issue persists, verify you have the correct size for your foot.
Sole grip feels insufficient on certain surfaces
While the ribbed rubber outsole provides good traction for everyday use, extreme conditions (e.g., ice, very slick wet surfaces) can reduce grip. Exercise caution and adjust your stride accordingly. Ensure the soles are clean of debris.

Care
Proper care is crucial for maintaining the appearance and longevity of your suede trainers:
- Initial Protection: Before first wear, consider applying a reputable suede and nubuck protective spray. This helps repel water and stains.
- Regular Cleaning: For general dirt or dust, gently brush the suede with a dedicated suede brush. This helps restore the nap and remove superficial debris.
- Spot Cleaning: For minor marks or scuffs, use a suede eraser to gently rub away the blemish.
- Deeper Stains: For more stubborn stains, a specialized suede cleaning solution applied according to product instructions can be used.
- Drying: If your trainers get wet, stuff them with paper towels to absorb moisture and maintain their shape, then allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat or sunlight.
- Avoid: Do not machine wash or tumble dry your trainers. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive scrubbing, as these can damage the suede.
