Product Information
Full details
The New Balance 323 Trainers are designed for young boys seeking a comfortable and secure footwear option for everyday activities. Their key benefit lies in the easy touch-and-close fastening, making them simple for kids to put on and take off independently. A potential consideration is that they are primarily made from synthetic materials, which might offer less breathability compared to natural fabrics for extended wear in warm conditions.

FAQs
What age group are these trainers designed for?
These trainers are designed for children, specifically noted for the 'kids' age group.
How do children put on these shoes?
The shoes feature a 'touch 'n' close' fastening, which is a type of hook-and-loop closure, making them easy for children to manage independently.
What materials are the trainers made from?
The uppers are made from 100% other materials, the lining and cushioning are 100% textile, and the sole is composed of 80% EVA and 20% rubber.
Are these suitable for sports?
While suitable for general active play and everyday wear, they are designed as trainers rather than specialized athletic footwear for high-impact sports.
How should I clean the trainers?
Wipe the uppers with a damp cloth. For the sole, use a brush or damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals and allow the shoes to air dry naturally.
What is the heel type?
The trainers have a flat heel, which provides good stability.
Are there other color options available?
Yes, the New Balance 323 series is available in various colors and designs, including black and black/red options.
Troubleshooting
Touch 'n' close strap not sticking
Ensure the velcro surfaces are clean and free from debris. Gently brush away any lint or dirt. If the strap is worn, it may need replacement.
Shoes appear dirty after play
Wipe the uppers with a damp cloth. For stubborn marks, use a mild soap and water solution, then wipe clean with a fresh damp cloth. Allow to air dry completely away from direct heat.
Child complains of discomfort
Check the shoe size and ensure it is not too tight or too loose. Verify that the straps are adjusted correctly for a snug but not constricting fit. Ensure the socks worn are appropriate.
