FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for sports?
The New Balance 323 Trainers are designed for everyday wear and light athletic activities. For specialized sports requiring specific performance features, dedicated sports footwear is recommended.
How do I clean the red accents?
The red accents are likely part of the synthetic or nylon upper. Wipe them gently with a damp cloth. If necessary, use a very mild soap solution and rinse with a clean damp cloth.
What does the 'flared midsole' do?
A flared midsole is wider at the base than at the top, providing increased stability and cushioning by offering a larger contact area with the ground.
Can I put these trainers in the washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash suede trainers as it can damage the material and affect the shoe's structure. Hand cleaning is the preferred method.
What other colors or sizes are available in the 323 series?

Is the suede material waterproof?
No, suede is not inherently waterproof and can be damaged by excessive moisture. It's advisable to protect them from heavy rain and use suede protectant sprays.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks dirty or matted
Use a suede brush to restore the nap. For stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner and follow product instructions.

Ensure the correct size has been selected. If the shoe is slightly snug, wearing it with thin socks for a short period might help it adjust.
