FAQs
What age group are the New Balance 323 trainers suitable for?
These trainers are designed for active kids and are available in various children's sizes, typically fitting toddlers and young children.
How do I determine the correct size?
Refer to the available size chart and measure your child's foot to find the best fit. Sizes are listed as 'kid' sizes.
Can these trainers be machine washed?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. Hand cleaning with a damp cloth and mild soap is the preferred method to maintain the integrity of the materials.
What is the primary benefit of the hook and loop fastener?
The hook and loop (Velcro) fastener allows for quick and easy on-and-off, ideal for children who are learning to dress themselves or for parents needing a fast solution.
Are these shoes suitable for running sports?
While they have a running-inspired design and support movement, they are best suited for casual wear and light athletic activities rather than competitive or high-impact running.
What are the main materials used in the construction?
The upper is crafted from a combination of synthetic and textile materials, providing a balance of durability and flexibility.
Troubleshooting
Velcro not sticking securely
Ensure the Velcro surfaces are clean and free from lint, dirt, or other debris. Gently brush the surfaces or use a soft brush to remove obstructions.
Shoes appear dirty after light use
Wipe down the shoes with a damp cloth. For stubborn marks on the synthetic or textile parts, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush, then wipe clean with a damp cloth.
Discomfort or rubbing
Ensure the correct size is being worn. Allow a short break-in period for the shoes to conform to the child's feet. Check for any internal seams or tags that might be causing irritation.
