FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for sports?
The New Balance 327 Trainers are primarily designed for casual wear and light recreational activities. They offer good comfort and traction but may not provide the specialized support required for intense sports.
How do I determine the correct size for my child?
It is recommended to measure your child's foot length and compare it with the New Balance sizing chart. Ensure there is a small amount of growing room.
Can these trainers be machine washed?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers, especially due to the suede material. Hand washing and air drying are the preferred methods to maintain the shoe's integrity and appearance.
What is the main inspiration behind the 327 design?
The 327 design is inspired by classic New Balance running shoes from the 1970s, reimagined with contemporary design elements such as an oversized lug outsole and asymmetrical branding.
How durable are these trainers for active kids?
These trainers are built with durable materials suitable for everyday wear and active play. However, the suede components require appropriate care to maintain their condition.
What does 'oversized lug outsole' mean for performance?
The oversized lug outsole provides enhanced grip and stability on various surfaces, making them suitable for walking, running, and playing in different environments.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Loosen the laces and ensure they are threaded correctly. If still tight, consider if the size is appropriate for the child's foot growth.
Suede appears dirty or matted
Use a suede brush to gently restore the nap. For persistent marks, use a dedicated suede cleaner following product instructions.
Traction seems reduced
Clean the lug outsole with a damp cloth to remove embedded dirt or debris that may be affecting grip.
Discoloration on lighter parts
Wipe gently with a damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a mild cleaner suitable for the material and test on an inconspicuous area first.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These trainers come ready to wear. Ensure the correct size is selected for a comfortable fit.
Compatibility: Suitable for general everyday wear by children. They are designed for casual use and light recreational activities.
Care:
- Cleaning Suede: For suede sections, use a soft brush to remove dry dirt. For stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and follow its instructions. Avoid soaking the suede.
- Cleaning Other Materials: Wipe the non-suede parts (like nylon or leather accents) with a damp cloth. Use mild soap if necessary, and wipe clean with a fresh damp cloth.
- Midsole and Outsole: Clean with a damp cloth. Stubborn dirt can be gently scrubbed with an old toothbrush and a mild soap solution.
- Laces: Remove laces and wash separately by hand or in a laundry bag.
- Drying: Allow trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials. Stuffing with paper can help maintain shape and absorb moisture during drying.
