New Balance 323 - Black - 6 UK Child

The New Balance 323 are designed primarily for casual wear and light everyday activities. While durable, for high-impact or specialized sports, dedicated athletic footwear is recommended for optimal support, cushioning, and performance.

For suede, use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove dirt. For tougher stains, a suede eraser can be effective. Avoid getting suede excessively wet, as this can damage the material and alter its texture. Always air dry.

The flared midsole refers to the outsole extending slightly wider at the base than the upper. This design provides enhanced stability for active feet and contributes to the shoe's distinctive retro-inspired aesthetic and overall comfort.

New Balance typically follows standard UK children's sizing. However, for the most accurate fit, it is always recommended to measure your child's foot and compare it with the official New Balance sizing chart.

The synthetic and nylon components offer some degree of protection, but the suede material is not water-resistant. We recommend avoiding heavy rain or puddles to protect the suede and help maintain the shoe's appearance and integrity.

This refers to the distinctive, angular design elements, particularly seen around the toe box and heel area. It's an aesthetic nod to classic New Balance running shoes like the 320, 355, and Supercomp, giving the 323 a unique and dynamic visual appeal.

Regularly brush suede with a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt. For tougher spots, a suede eraser can be used. For synthetic/nylon, a damp cloth is effective. Prompt cleaning prevents stains from setting in.

First, ensure the shoe size is correct and not too small or too large. Check if socks are appropriate and non-chafing. While the flared midsole offers comfort, if the child is engaging in intense or prolonged activities, specialized athletic footwear might be more suitable than these lifestyle trainers.

Teach your child how to properly double-knot their laces for added security. If the child is very young, consider replacing standard laces with elastic, 'no-tie' laces designed for children's shoes, ensuring they are compatible with the eyelets.
