FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for running?

The New Balance WL373SH2 are primarily designed as lifestyle and casual trainers. While comfortable for walking and light activity, they do not offer the specialized support or cushioning required for serious running or high-impact athletic training.

How do I clean the suede parts of the trainers?

For suede, use a soft brush to remove dry dirt. For tougher stains, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by air drying away from direct heat. Specialized suede cleaning products are also recommended.

What is the main colour of these trainers?

The main colour is a sophisticated beige, with cream accents, particularly on the iconic 'N' logo and midsole stripe.

Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?

While the rubber outsole provides some traction, the suede and mesh upper are not waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to protect the materials and maintain comfort.

What material is the upper made of?

The upper is constructed from a premium blend of soft suede and breathable mesh.

How do the laces work?

The trainers feature a traditional lace-up closure system using durable fabric laces that coordinate with the shoe's colour for a secure and adjustable fit.

What is the purpose of the waffle-pattern tread?

The waffle-pattern tread on the rubber outsole is designed to provide reliable grip and traction on a variety of surfaces, enhancing stability during everyday wear.

Troubleshooting

Treading feels slippery on wet surfaces.

Ensure the rubber outsole is clean and free from mud or debris. The waffle tread is designed for grip, but performance may be reduced on very wet or slick surfaces. Use caution in such conditions.

Discomfort after prolonged wear.

Verify you have the correct size and fit. Ensure laces are tied appropriately for comfort and support. Break in the shoes gradually by wearing them for shorter periods initially.

Suede appears discoloured or stained.

Consult the care instructions for suede cleaning. Use a specialized suede brush and cleaner if necessary. Always test cleaning products on an inconspicuous area first.
