The New Balance 373 Black Trainers are your ideal companion for casual, everyday scenarios where comfort and style are paramount. They excel in situations like: strolling through the city, commuting to work, meeting friends for coffee, or enjoying weekend outings. Their classic, understated design ensures they blend seamlessly with jeans, chinos, shorts, and various athleisure wear. Think of them as a dependable cornerstone of your casual wardrobe, offering reliable comfort for light walking and standing throughout the day. They provide a stable base for urban exploration but are not engineered for the rigorous demands of sports requiring specialized cushioning or aggressive traction.
Your New Balance 373 trainers require no special 'setup'. Simply unbox them, put them on, and adjust the laces for a comfortable, secure fit. We recommend wearing them for short periods initially to break them in, although they are designed for out-of-the-box comfort.
These black trainers are incredibly versatile and compatible with a wide range of casual attire. They pair well with:
Bottoms: Jeans (all washes), chinos, cargo pants, shorts.
Tops: T-shirts, polo shirts, casual button-downs, hoodies, light jackets.
Occasions: Everyday errands, casual work environments, social events, weekend leisure, travel.
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your New Balance 373 trainers:
Spot Cleaning: For general dirt and scuffs, use a soft brush or cloth. Dampen with cold water and a small amount of mild soap (e.g., dish soap). Gently rub the affected area.
Material Specifics:
Suede/Nubuck: Use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt. For stains, a suede eraser can be effective. Avoid excessive water, which can damage suede.
Synthetic/Mesh: Can be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap. A soft-bristled brush can help with tougher grime.
Laces: Remove laces and hand wash them separately with soap and water.
Drying: Always air dry your trainers at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as this can damage materials and adhesives.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
Avoid: Do not machine wash or submerge your trainers in water, as this can compromise their structure and materials.
