FAQs
What age group are these trainers best suited for?
These trainers are designed for active kids and are particularly suitable for younger children who are learning to manage their footwear independently due to the hook and loop fasteners. They are available in kid's sizes.
Are these trainers suitable for sports?
The New Balance 323 trainers are designed for casual wear and general activity. While they offer comfort for running and playing, they are not specialized for high-impact sports and may not provide the necessary support or features for intense athletic training.
How do I clean the synthetic outer material?
You can clean the synthetic outer fabric by wiping it with a damp cloth. For tougher dirt, use a mild soap solution and a damp cloth, then rinse with a clean, damp cloth. Always air dry.
Can the hook and loop fasteners be replaced?
The hook and loop fasteners are integrated into the shoe design and are not typically user-replaceable. Ensuring they are kept clean will help maintain their functionality.
What is the heel height of these trainers?
These trainers feature a flat heel height, which contributes to a stable and comfortable feel during wear.
Are these trainers available in adult sizes?
No, the New Balance 323 trainers are specifically designed and available in kid's sizes.
Troubleshooting
Velcro not sticking well
Clean both the hook and loop sides of the fastener with a stiff brush or damp cloth to remove dirt and debris that may be preventing a secure closure.
Shoes appear too small
Ensure the child's foot is properly measured for length and width. The hook and loop straps should comfortably secure the foot without being overly tight.
Outer fabric scuffed
For minor scuffs on synthetic material, try wiping with a slightly damp cloth. For more persistent marks, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by rinsing with a clean, damp cloth.
