Troubleshooting
Trainers feel too tight or loose after purchase.
Toddlers' feet can change quickly. Re-measure your child's foot and re-consult the New Balance size chart. Ensure socks worn during fitting are appropriate. If the fit is significantly off, consider consulting the retailer about sizing options.
Trainers get dirty very quickly from active play.
This is expected for active toddlers. Establish a routine of gently wiping them down with a damp cloth and mild soap after particularly dirty outings to prevent grime buildup. See the 'Care & Maintenance' section for detailed cleaning instructions.
My child is tripping or struggling to walk in the trainers.
First, ensure the trainers are properly fitted and not too big, causing tripping hazards. Check that laces or straps are securely fastened. Inspect the sole for any foreign objects. If the issue persists, consult a child footwear specialist.
The trainers seem to be wearing out too fast.
Toddler shoes endure significant wear due to constant activity. While built for durability, heavy use will show. Regular cleaning and proper care can help maintain their appearance. Consider if usage is exceptionally rough or if a more robust style is needed for specific activities.

- First Fit: When trying on the trainers, ensure your child is wearing socks they would typically wear. Check that there's about a thumb's width space between the longest toe and the end of the shoe.

Care & Maintenance
To keep your New Balance 323 trainers looking their best and to prolong their life:
- Cleaning:
- Gently wipe dirt and grime from the surface with a damp cloth or soft brush.
- For tougher spots, use a mild soap solution (like diluted dish soap) on the cloth.
- Avoid harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive scrubbing pads, as these can damage the materials.
- Drying:
- Allow trainers to air dry completely at room temperature.
- Do not place them in a washing machine, tumble dryer, or near direct heat sources, as this can cause materials to shrink or warp.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
