FAQs

What age group are these New Balance 327 shoes for?

These New Balance 327 shoes are specifically designed for Younger Kids, as indicated by the 'PS' in the model name and the size (UK 1).

How do I clean the suede and mesh materials on these shoes?

For general cleaning, brush off loose dirt. For spot cleaning, use a soft, damp cloth with mild soap. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized shoe cleaner for suede and mesh. Always air dry away from direct heat.

Is the bungee closure system durable?

Yes, the bungee closure system is designed for durability and ease of use, allowing for quick adjustments and secure fitting for active kids.

Are these shoes suitable for everyday wear and play?

Absolutely. With their superb comfort, durable suede and mesh construction, and reliable lugged outsole, these shoes are ideal for all-day wear, playground activities, and general casual use.

Do these shoes offer good grip?

Yes, the reliable rubber outsole features a distinctive lugged design, inspired by trail running shoes, which provides excellent grip and stability on various surfaces.

Can my child put these shoes on by themselves?

Yes, the bungee closure system is specifically designed for easy on and off, helping younger children to manage their footwear independently.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or loose.

Ensure the bungee closure is adjusted correctly. Pull it snug for a secure fit or loosen it for more comfort. If issues persist, double-check the shoe size against your child's current foot measurement.

Bungee closure is stiff or difficult to adjust.

Check the bungee cord and toggle for any trapped debris or dirt. Gently try to work the toggle back and forth. If necessary, a very small amount of silicone spray (designed for fabric) can be applied to the cord, but avoid getting it on the shoe material.

Shoes appear dirty quickly.

Kids' shoes naturally get dirty. For synthetic suede and mesh, regularly brush off loose dirt with a soft brush. For stubborn stains, use a mild shoe cleaner designed for these materials and follow the care instructions. Consistent, gentle cleaning prevents dirt buildup.

Unpleasant odor from shoes.

Ensure shoes are fully aired out after each use. Remove insoles if possible and let them dry separately. Consider using shoe deodorizers or placing baking soda in the shoes overnight to absorb odors. Proper drying after getting wet is crucial.
