FAQs
What kind of activities are these shoes best for?
These trainers are ideal for everyday casual wear, light play, and general daily activities for younger kids. Their comfort and durable design make them suitable for school, playgrounds, and family outings.
How do I clean the bungee closure system?
The bungee closure can be wiped clean with a damp cloth. Ensure no dirt or debris is lodged within the mechanism to maintain its smooth operation.
Is the sizing consistent with other New Balance kids' shoes?
New Balance generally aims for consistent sizing across its product lines. However, individual foot shapes can vary, so it's always recommended to measure your child's foot and refer to the specific New Balance sizing chart for the most accurate fit.
Can these shoes be worn in wet weather?
While the materials offer some durability, these shoes are not waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain or wet conditions may damage the suede and lead to discomfort. It's best to dry them thoroughly if they get wet.
What is the benefit of the oversized 'N' branding?
The oversized 'N' branding is a signature design element of the New Balance 327 series, serving as a nod to the brand's heritage and providing a distinctive, stylish look that sets these trainers apart.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too loose or too tight.
Ensure the bungee closure is adjusted correctly – not too tight to pinch, but snug enough to hold the foot securely. Double-check that your child is wearing appropriate socks. If the issue persists, measure your child's foot against a New Balance sizing guide, as feet can grow quickly.
Difficulty putting the shoes on.
Fully loosen the bungee closure before inserting the foot. Make sure the tongue is pulled forward and not folded, providing a wide opening. If necessary, use a shoehorn.
Suede material appears dirty or scuffed.
Use a specialized suede brush to gently remove surface dirt. For more stubborn marks, apply a small amount of suede cleaner as directed on the product. Avoid rubbing aggressively, which can damage the nap of the suede.
Outsole loses grip.
Inspect the lugged outsole for any embedded debris like small stones or mud, and clean it thoroughly with a damp cloth or soft brush. Ensure the shoes are dry before wear, as wet surfaces can reduce grip even on clean soles.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Open Closure: Loosen the bungee closure system fully to create enough space for the foot.
- Insert Foot: Guide your child's foot into the shoe, ensuring the heel sits comfortably against the back.
- Adjust Bungee: Tighten the bungee closure gently until the shoe feels secure but not overly restrictive. Ensure it's snug enough to prevent slipping.
- Check Fit: Verify there's adequate toe room (about a thumb's width) and that the shoe isn't pinching anywhere.

- Sizing: Available in younger kids' UK 13 size, catering to growing feet. Always confirm foot measurements against a sizing chart for the best fit.

Care:
- Cleaning the Upper: For the synthetic suede areas, gently brush off loose dirt with a soft-bristled brush. For tougher spots, use a specialized suede cleaner following product instructions. For nylon/mesh areas, a damp cloth with mild soap can be used. Avoid saturating the material.
- Sole Cleaning: Wipe the rubber outsole with a damp cloth to remove mud and dirt.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can damage materials.
