Product Information
Full details
The New Balance 373 Trainers are designed for adult males seeking versatile, comfortable footwear for casual wear and light athletic activities. Their primary benefit lies in the blend of classic style with modern cushioning for all-day comfort. A potential caveat is their suitability primarily for training and casual use, rather than high-impact sports. These trainers feature a rounded toe, secure lace-up fastening, and a durable sole combining EVA and rubber for optimal grip and shock absorption. The upper is constructed from a mix of leather, textile, and other materials, complemented by a 100% textile lining.

FAQs
What is the primary intended use for the New Balance 373 trainers?
These trainers are primarily designed for casual wear, everyday activities, and light athletic training. They offer comfort and style for daily use.
What materials are used in the construction of these trainers?
The uppers are made from 59% leather, 32% textile, and 9% other materials. The lining is 100% textile, and the sole is a combination of 60% EVA and 40% rubber.
How should I clean my New Balance 373 trainers?
Use a slightly damp cloth for general cleaning of the uppers. For leather parts, use a specialized leather cleaner and conditioner. Allow shoes to air dry naturally.
Are these trainers suitable for running or high-impact sports?
No, the New Balance 373 trainers are not designed for high-impact sports like running. They are best suited for casual wear and light training activities.
What is the sole made of and what are its benefits?
The sole is composed of 60% EVA (Ethylene-vinyl acetate) and 40% rubber. This combination provides excellent cushioning, shock absorption, and reliable traction for everyday wear and light activity.
How do I ensure a proper fit?
Adjust the laces for a secure but comfortable fit. The rounded toe design offers ample space, but consider trying them on to ensure they suit your foot shape.
What does the stiffened heel counter do?
The stiffened heel counter helps to provide stability and support to your heel, improving overall comfort and reducing the risk of slippage during movement.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Loosen the laces and re-tie them, ensuring they are not overtightened. If the issue persists, consider the fit for your specific foot shape; the rounded toe offers some width but may not suit very wide feet.
Slight discomfort after first wear
New shoes often require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase the wear time as they conform to your foot.
Sole appears to be separating
Inspect the separation area. For minor separation, a strong adhesive designed for footwear may be a temporary fix. Significant separation may indicate a manufacturing defect and should be addressed with customer support.
Material scuffing easily
Be mindful of potential scuffs during activities. For minor scuffs on leather, use a matching shoe polish or leather conditioner. Regular cleaning and conditioning can help maintain the material's appearance.
