FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for everyday school wear?
Yes, the New Balance 327 Trainers are designed to be durable and comfortable for everyday use, making them an excellent choice for school and casual wear.
What kind of activities are these trainers best for?
They are ideal for casual wear, light athletic activities like running and playing at the park, and general daily use due to their comfort and grip.
How do I clean my New Balance 327 Trainers?
For general cleaning, wipe the trainers with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt. For stubborn marks on the nylon material, you can use a mild soap solution. Allow them to air dry away from direct heat. Always avoid harsh chemicals.
Are these trainers true to size for children?
New Balance typically aims for a true-to-size fit. It's always recommended to measure your child's foot and compare it to a New Balance sizing chart for the most accurate fit, especially since this model is 'pared down' for kids' feet.
Do these trainers provide good arch support?
The flared midsoles are designed to provide extra cushioning and comfort for a comfortable stride, contributing to overall foot support during wear.
What is the primary material of these trainers?
These trainers are constructed from mixed materials, with the primary visible material being Nylon for this specific Grey pair. They also feature durable components in the sole and other areas.
Troubleshooting
Laces keep coming undone during play.
Teach your child to double-knot their laces. Ensure the laces are tightened appropriately before tying to prevent excess slack.
Shoes feel too loose or too tight.
Check if the shoe size is correct for your child's foot. For fit issues, try adjusting the lacing pattern to be tighter or looser in specific areas. Ensure socks are of appropriate thickness.
Trainer squeaks when walking.
Often caused by moisture trapped inside the sole or between the insole and sole. Remove the insole (if possible), wipe both surfaces dry, and allow to air out completely before reinserting. If the squeak persists, check for any loose parts of the sole.
Outsoles seem to lose grip quickly.
Inspect the trail-inspired outsole for excessive wear or embedded debris. Clean any dirt or small stones from the lugs. If the tread is significantly worn, it may be time for a new pair, especially if safety is a concern.
