Product Information
Full details
The New Balance 373 Lace-Up Trainers in Black, specifically this UK 11 leather variant, are designed for adults seeking a blend of style, comfort, and reliable grip for everyday wear and light sports. Their key benefit lies in their versatile, classic silhouette that pairs easily with casual wardrobes. A potential consideration is that while described as leather, they incorporate synthetic and textile materials, which might affect long-term durability for very heavy use.

FAQs
What is the primary material of the New Balance 373 trainers?
The upper is crafted from a mix of leather, synthetic, and textile materials.
Are these trainers suitable for running?
The New Balance 373 trainers are designed for casual wear and leisurely sports, offering reliable grip. They are not optimized for high-impact running activities.
How should I clean the trainers?
Use a damp cloth to clean the upper. For tougher stains, a mild soap solution can be applied sparingly. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
What does the non-slip tread pattern do?
The non-slip tread on the rubber outsole provides enhanced grip and stability on various surfaces, reducing the risk of slips.
Can these trainers be worn by both men and women?
While this specific variant is listed for men (Black, Leather, Size UK 11), the New Balance 373 series is often available in unisex options and various colors.

The lace-up fastening allows for a secure, adjustable, and personalized fit, ensuring comfort throughout the day.
Are these trainers durable for everyday use?
The combination of leather, synthetic, and textile materials is designed for durability in everyday casual wear. Proper care will help extend their lifespan.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Loosen the laces and adjust them to provide more room. If the tightness persists, consider if the size is appropriate or if the materials need a short break-in period.
Slight discomfort during initial wear
This is common with new footwear. Wear them for short periods initially to allow them to mold to your feet. Ensure socks worn provide adequate cushioning.
Tread pattern losing grip
Ensure the sole is clean and free from mud, oil, or debris. If wear is significant, the sole may be worn down and require replacement or consideration of new footwear.
Materials showing signs of wear quickly
Ensure you are using the trainers for their intended purpose (casual wear, light sports) and not for heavy-duty activities. Follow care instructions to maintain material integrity.

Care Instructions: To maintain the appearance and longevity of your trainers:
- Cleaning the Upper: For leather and synthetic parts, use a damp cloth to wipe away dirt and grime. For stubborn stains, a mild soap solution can be used sparingly, followed by wiping with a clean, damp cloth.
- Cleaning the Interior: Spot clean the fabric interior with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid soaking the shoes.
- Drying: Allow the trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials.
