FAQs
Are these sneakers suitable for all genders?
While this specific variant is listed with 'Female' as an attribute, the New Balance 323 series generally offers a versatile style that can be worn by any child. Many parents find the design to be broadly appealing.
How do I ensure the correct size for my child?
Always measure your child's foot length and compare it to the New Balance kids' sizing chart. It's often helpful to measure both feet and use the larger measurement. Leave a small amount of space at the toe for comfort and growth.
Can these shoes be worn for intense sports or running?
The New Balance 323 Sneaker is designed for everyday wear, light activity, and casual play, offering comfort and style. While suitable for general activity, they are not specialized performance shoes for competitive sports or intensive running.
Are the New Balance 323 sneakers waterproof?
No, these sneakers are not waterproof. The synthetic, suede, and nylon upper offers some protection against light moisture, but they are not designed to be submerged or worn in heavy rain, as water can damage the materials, especially suede.
How do I clean the white flared midsole?
The flared midsole can be cleaned with a soft brush or cloth dampened with mild soap and water. Gently scrub in circular motions to remove dirt and scuffs, then wipe clean with a damp cloth and allow to air dry.
Do these shoes come in other colors or sizes?
Yes, the New Balance 323 series is available in a variety of colors and sizes, including options for different age groups and genders. Please check the product listings for other available variants.
Troubleshooting
Shoes appear dirty or scuffed quickly.
Regularly spot clean the sneakers. For synthetic/nylon areas, use a damp cloth. For suede, use a dry suede brush to remove dirt. Prompt cleaning prevents dirt build-up.
Child complains about the fit (too tight/loose).
Ensure the child is wearing appropriate socks. Re-evaluate foot measurements against New Balance sizing guides. Laces should be adjusted for a snug, but not constricting, fit. Consider if the child's foot has grown.
Laces frequently come undone during activity.
Teach your child to double-knot their laces for added security. Alternatively, consider replacing standard laces with elastic, no-tie laces for easier wear and consistent tightness.
Suede parts look matted or discolored.
Use a specialized suede brush to gently restore the nap of the suede. For discolored spots, a suede cleaner or eraser might help, but test in an inconspicuous area first. Avoid getting suede excessively wet.

Care Instructions
Proper care will help maintain the appearance and longevity of these sneakers, especially due to the mixed materials (synthetic, suede, and nylon).
- General Cleaning: For synthetic and nylon areas, use a soft cloth dampened with mild soap and water to gently wipe away dirt.
- Suede Cleaning: For suede sections, use a dry suede brush to lightly brush off loose dirt and restore the nap. For tougher spots, a specialized suede cleaner can be used sparingly according to product instructions. Avoid excessive rubbing.
- Drying: Always air dry sneakers at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight. Do not put them in a dryer.
- Avoid Machine Washing: Machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials and overall structure of the shoe.
- Spot Treatment: Address spills and stains immediately to prevent them from setting.
