FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running training?
The New Balance 327 Trainers are designed for casual wear and light sports. While they offer comfort and grip, they may not provide the specialized support needed for intense running training.
How do I clean the mixed material upper?
Spot clean with a damp cloth for light dirt. For more stubborn stains, use a specialized shoe cleaner suitable for mixed materials, testing on an inconspicuous area first. Always air dry.
What is the primary inspiration for the 327 design?
The design is inspired by classic running shoe silhouettes from the 1970s, incorporating retro elements with modern comfort features.
Can these trainers be worn in wet conditions?
While the outsoles provide good grip, the mixed materials of the upper are not waterproof. They are best suited for dry or moderately damp conditions.
What age group are these trainers intended for?
These specific trainers are designed for kids, offering a sporty and comfortable option for their daily activities.
Do the flared midsoles offer specific benefits?
Yes, the flared midsoles are designed to provide extra cushioning for a more comfortable stride and also contribute to the shoe's distinctive, attention-grabbing aesthetic.
How do I ensure the best fit for my child?
Measure your child's foot and compare it with the New Balance sizing chart. Ensure there is a little room for growth, and adjust the laces for a secure fit around the ankle and midfoot.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Loosen the laces and re-tie them, ensuring a snug but not constricting fit. If the issue persists, the size may be incorrect.
Laces coming undone frequently
Ensure the laces are tied securely with a double knot. Consider replacing the laces with a different material that offers more friction.
Dirt or scuff marks on the upper
Use a damp cloth to wipe away fresh dirt. For stubborn marks, a mild soap solution or a dedicated shoe cleaner can be used sparingly on the affected area.
Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces
Ensure the outsoles are clean. If the issue persists, the grip may be reduced due to wear or the surface type. These shoes are designed for general traction, not specialized grip.
