The series is specifically engineered with a wider, ergonomic fit to support the anatomy of a growing infant foot.
Are these shoes gender-neutral?
Yes, the grey colorway and design are styled to be suitable for all infants.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longest life for your New Balance 327s, follow these care instructions:
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush specifically designed for suede to gently remove surface dust and dirt.
- Stain Removal: For minor marks, use a specialized suede eraser or a light touch with a suede cleaner. Avoid soaking the shoes in water as this can damage the suede texture.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the grey color from fading.
- Fit Check: Since infant feet grow rapidly, check for toe room every 4-6 weeks to ensure the size 2.5 still provides an appropriate fit.
