FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for all sports?

The New Balance 327 trainers are designed for casual wear and light sporting activities, like those on a school sports day. While they offer good grip and comfort, they are not specialized for high-performance or competitive athletic sports.

How do I clean the suede on these trainers?

For suede sections, gently brush off dirt with a dedicated suede brush. For stains, use a suede-specific cleaner, applying it sparingly and following the product's instructions. Always allow the trainers to air dry away from direct heat.

What age group are these trainers designed for?

These specific New Balance 327 trainers are designed for the kids' age group, offering comfort and style for younger wearers.

Do these trainers run true to size?

New Balance sizing generally runs true to size, but fit can vary. It's recommended to refer to New Balance's official sizing chart or try them on to ensure the best fit for your child.

Can these trainers be worn in wet weather?

While the trainers offer durability, the suede components are not waterproof and can be damaged by prolonged exposure to water. It's best to avoid heavy rain or puddles to preserve the materials.

What makes the outsole unique?

The outsole is inspired by the New Balance 355 trail running shoe, featuring a lugged design. This provides enhanced grip and traction, making the trainers reliable on various surfaces for active play.

Troubleshooting

Ensure the correct size has been chosen. Check that socks are not too thick. Allow for a break-in period, as new shoes may feel stiff initially. If discomfort persists, consider consulting a footwear specialist.

Suede areas appear dirty or stained.

Use a specialized suede brush to gently remove loose dirt. For stubborn stains, apply a small amount of suede cleaner designed for footwear, following product instructions carefully. Always allow to air dry.
