FAQs
Are the New Balance 327 Trainers suitable for wide feet?
The 327 series generally offers a standard fit. If your child has particularly wide feet, it's advisable to try them on in person or check specific sizing guides for width recommendations.
What age group are these trainers intended for?
These specific trainers are designed for kids, fitting into the 'kids' age group category. They are available in children's UK sizes.
Can these trainers be used for running competitions?
While they offer cushioning and grip for everyday activities, they are not specifically designed as high-performance running shoes for competitive events. They are best suited for casual wear and light athletic activities.
How do I know if I've chosen the correct size?
Ensure there is about a finger's width of space between the child's longest toe and the end of the shoe. The heel should not slip excessively when walking.
What is the primary inspiration behind the New Balance 327 design?
The design is inspired by classic 1970s New Balance running shoe silhouettes, blending retro aesthetics with modern comfort.
Can these trainers be worn in wet weather?
The trainers are made of mixed materials and are not waterproof. They are best suited for dry or mildly damp conditions. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain may affect their performance and longevity.
Troubleshooting
Laces keep coming undone
Ensure laces are tied securely with a double knot. Consider replacing standard laces with elasticated no-tie laces for younger children.
Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces
While designed for grip, extremely smooth or wet surfaces may reduce traction. Ensure the outsoles are clean and free from debris.
Uneven wear on the sole
Check for any irregularities in the child's gait. Ensure the correct size is being worn, as an ill-fitting shoe can cause uneven wear.
Difficulty cleaning stubborn marks
Use a soft brush with a mild soap and water solution for tougher marks. Test on an inconspicuous area first. Always allow to air dry.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These trainers are ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure the correct size is selected for optimal comfort and fit. Lace them up snugly but not too tight to allow for foot movement.
Compatibility: Designed for kids' footwear, these trainers are suitable for general wear and light athletic activities. They pair well with casual outfits like jeans, shorts, and tracksuits.
Care: To maintain the appearance and integrity of the mixed materials, it is recommended to clean these trainers with a damp cloth. Avoid machine washing or harsh chemicals, as this can damage the materials and affect the shoe's structure. Allow them to air dry away from direct heat.
