FAQs
What is the main inspiration behind the New Balance 327 design?
The 327 design is inspired by the innovative running shoe styles of the 1970s, combining classic elements with a contemporary look.
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
These trainers are recommended for normal foot width. If your child has significantly wide feet, they may not be the most comfortable option.
How much do the kids' 327 trainers weigh?
The kids' version weighs approximately 192 grams (6.8 oz), making them lightweight for children.
Can these trainers be machine washed?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. Hand cleaning with a damp cloth and mild soap is the preferred method to preserve the material and shape.
What does 'oversized N branding' mean?
It refers to the noticeably large 'N' logo on the side of the shoe, a distinctive feature of the 327 model.
How should I choose the correct size?
New Balance recommends that most people choose at least a half size up from their standard shoe size for the 327 model to ensure a comfortable fit.
What is the heel height of these trainers?
The heel height is flat, contributing to the overall comfort and stability for casual wear.
Troubleshooting
Laces keep coming undone
Ensure the laces are tied in a secure knot. Consider using a double knot if the laces are slippery or if the child is particularly active.
Shoes feel too tight
Based on user feedback, it is recommended to purchase at least a half size up from your child's usual size for a more comfortable fit.
Tread seems worn quickly
Ensure the child is using the shoes for their intended purpose (casual wear, light activity). Avoid using them for rough surfaces or high-impact sports, which can accelerate wear.
Material feels stiff initially
The synthetic and nylon materials may feel slightly stiff at first. Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow them to break in and conform to the foot.
