FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for outdoor use?
Yes, they are suitable for outdoor wear, though they are primarily designed for early walkers and perform best on smooth or paved surfaces.
How do I clean the suede material?
Use a soft brush to remove dirt. For stains, dab lightly with a damp cloth or use a dedicated suede cleaner.
Are these shoes machine washable?
It is not recommended to machine wash these shoes, as the suede material can be permanently damaged by water and agitation.
What is the best way to determine the correct size?
Measure your infant's feet while they are standing to account for natural spreading, and ensure there is a small amount of space in the toe box.
Can I replace the closure system if it breaks?
The hook-and-loop system is integrated into the design; if it fails, please contact the manufacturer or a professional cobbler for repair options.
Are these shoes gender-specific?
The 327 New-B trainers are designed as unisex footwear, suitable for all infants.
Troubleshooting
The hook-and-loop straps keep coming loose.
Check the straps for any accumulated lint or debris; cleaning them with a stiff brush can help the material grip better.
The suede is showing water marks.
Allow the shoes to dry completely, then use a suede brush to restore the nap and texture of the material.
The shoes feel too tight on the instep.
Adjust the hook-and-loop closure to a looser setting to accommodate a higher instep, ensuring the straps remain secure.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best fit, check that your infant has enough room to wiggle their toes when standing. For care, avoid submerging the suede in water. If the shoes get dirty, use a soft, dry brush to gently remove surface dust or dried mud. For tougher stains on the suede, use a specialized suede eraser or a damp cloth with mild soap, dabbing gently rather than scrubbing. Always allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can cause the material to stiffen or shrink.
