The New Balance 327 Younger Kids shoe is an ideal choice for daily wear, providing comfort and style for a wide range of children's activities. Its construction makes it suitable for school, playground adventures, and casual outings.

The New Balance 327 Younger Kids shoe requires minimal setup. To use, simply loosen the bungee closure, slide your child's foot into the shoe, and then pull the bungee to secure it for a snug, comfortable fit. The shoe is compatible with UK children's sizing, with this specific model being a UK Size 10 (children's). It is designed as a unisex shoe for younger kids. For care, gently brush off loose dirt from the suede using a soft brush. For the nylon mesh and spot cleaning, use a damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive scrubbing, especially on the suede. Allow shoes to air dry completely away from direct heat or sunlight to prevent material damage. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
