FAQs
What age group are these shoes designed for?
These New Balance 327 shoes are specifically designed for 'Younger Kids' (PS size range), suitable for toddlers and younger children.
How do I clean the suede and mesh materials?
For suede, use a specialized suede brush and cleaner. For mesh, gently wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap. Always air dry the shoes completely away from direct heat.
What is the bungee closure system?
The bungee closure system replaces traditional laces with an elastic cord and a toggle, making it quick and easy for children to put on and take off their shoes independently.
Are these shoes suitable for everyday wear and play?
Yes, they are designed for 'all-day' comfort and durability, making them ideal for everyday wear, school, and various play activities.
Do these shoes provide good grip?
Yes, the shoes feature a 'lugged rubber outsole' which is inspired by trail running shoes, providing reliable traction and grip.
Are there other sizes or colors available?
Info needed: Please check the product listing or New Balance's official website for other available sizes, colors, and variants in the 327 series.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or too loose.
Adjust the bungee closure system. Slide the toggle to loosen for a more relaxed fit or tighten for a more secure feel. Ensure the correct size has been chosen for your child's foot length and width.
Suede or mesh upper appears dirty or stained.
For light dirt, brush off with a soft brush. For stains, use specific cleaners designed for suede or mesh. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive scrubbing. Always air dry.
Outsole feels slippery.
Check the lugged outsole for accumulated dirt or debris, especially in the grooves, and clean it thoroughly with a damp cloth. If the outsole is excessively worn, traction may be reduced over time.
