FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for sports?
The New Balance 327 trainers are designed for recreational wear and offer good comfort and support for everyday activities. They are not specifically engineered for high-performance athletic training or sports.
What materials are the trainers made of?
These trainers typically feature a combination of leather, suede, and textile materials, providing durability and a retro aesthetic.
How should I clean the suede parts?
For suede, use a specialized suede brush to remove dry dirt. For tougher stains, consider a suede cleaner, always testing on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid getting suede excessively wet.
What is the main inspiration behind the 327 design?
The 327 design is inspired by the innovation and aesthetic of 1970s running shoes, reimagined with a contemporary and bold outlook.

How do I know if I have the correct size?
Refer to the New Balance sizing chart and measure your child's foot length. The specific size listed (e.g., UK 5) refers to that measurement.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose
Adjust the lacing pattern. Ensure the laces are tied securely but comfortably, allowing for natural foot expansion during activity.
Tread appears worn quickly
Inspect the surfaces where the shoes are primarily used. Excessive wear on rough surfaces may accelerate tread wear. Ensure the child's gait is natural.
Material scuffs easily
Clean scuffs gently with a damp cloth or a specialized leather/suede cleaner. For minor scuffs on leather, a white eraser can sometimes be effective.
