FAQs
How do I clean my New Balance IV323 Trainers?
Gently wipe the outer surface with a damp cloth and mild soap. For deeper cleaning, use a soft brush on the textile areas. Avoid machine washing or harsh chemical cleaners. Air dry completely away from direct heat.
Are these trainers suitable for all sports?
These trainers are ideal for general active play, running around, and daily casual wear. While durable for playground activities, they are not specifically designed for specialized sports that require advanced support or features like basketball or football.
What does 'touch 'n' close' fastening mean?
'Touch 'n' close' refers to hook-and-loop fasteners (often known by the brand name Velcro). It allows for quick, easy, and adjustable securing of the shoe, making them simple for children to manage independently.
Are these shoes durable for active children?
Yes, with uppers made of 'other materials' (synthetics) and a rubber sole, these trainers are designed for durability to withstand the typical wear and tear of active children's daily activities and play.
Can my child wear these in wet weather?
The trainers are not waterproof. While they can handle light dampness, prolonged exposure to rain or puddles may cause the materials to soak through and can lead to discomfort. It's best to avoid heavy wet weather.
How do I ensure I choose the right size?
The product is listed as a 9 UK Child size. It's recommended to measure your child's foot and consult a New Balance sizing chart for children to ensure the best fit. Always allow a little room for growth.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel uncomfortable or rub.
Check if the size is correct. Ensure socks are worn, and the touch 'n' close straps are not fastened too tightly. New shoes may need a short 'break-in' period.
Touch 'n' close straps don't hold securely.
Inspect the straps for dirt, lint, or debris that might be preventing them from sticking properly. Clean the hook-and-loop fasteners with a stiff brush or an old toothbrush. Ensure the straps are aligned correctly when fastening.
Shoes get dirty quickly.
Due to the light pink color, regular cleaning is recommended. Wipe down the shoes with a damp cloth after outdoor play. For tougher stains, use a mild shoe cleaner designed for synthetic materials.
Unpleasant odor from the shoes.
Remove the insoles (if removable) and air them out. You can sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes and insoles overnight to absorb odors, then shake it out. Ensure feet are dry before wearing, and consider rotating shoes.

Care
To keep your New Balance IV323 Trainers looking their best and to prolong their lifespan:
- Cleaning: Gently wipe the "other materials" upper with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove dirt and scuffs. For the textile lining and cushioning, you can use a soft brush. Avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or prolonged sunlight, which can damage materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
- Odor Control: If odors develop, remove any insoles and air them out. You can also use shoe deodorizers designed for children's footwear.
