FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for sports?
The New Balance 323 Trainers are primarily designed for casual wear and everyday comfort. While suitable for light activities like walking and playground play, they are not intended for high-performance sports or rigorous athletic training.
How do I clean the blue synthetic and nylon parts?
For routine cleaning, use a soft brush or a damp cloth with mild soap. Gently wipe the affected areas. Avoid saturating the material with water and always air dry.
Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?
No, it is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. Machine washing can damage the materials, adhesives, and overall structure of the shoe. Always hand clean and air dry.
What is the 'flared midsole' feature?
The flared midsole is a design element inspired by classic New Balance running shoes. It extends slightly beyond the upper, providing a distinctive retro look while also contributing to comfort and stability during wear.
Is the sizing true to fit?
New Balance typically runs true to size. However, foot shapes vary. We recommend consulting a New Balance size chart and, if possible, trying them on to ensure the best fit, especially for children.
What does 'Oversized NB branding' mean?
This refers to the prominent and enlarged New Balance logo featured on the trainers, making the brand identity a key part of the shoe's aesthetic and design.
Troubleshooting
Trainers feel too tight or uncomfortable.
Ensure you have the correct size. Try wearing thinner socks initially. The materials may slightly break in over time, but if discomfort persists, consult a sizing guide or consider a different size.
Suede parts of the trainers look dull or dirty.
Use a specialized suede brush to gently brush away dirt and rejuvenate the nap. For stubborn stains, use a suede-specific cleaner according to its instructions. Avoid using water directly on suede.
Trainers develop an odor.
Remove insoles and air out the shoes regularly. Consider using shoe deodorizers or sprinkling baking soda inside the shoes overnight to absorb odors. Ensure socks are worn to help absorb moisture.

Care and Maintenance
Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your New Balance 323 Trainers.
- Spot Cleaning: For light dirt, use a soft brush or a damp cloth with mild soap to gently clean the synthetic and nylon areas.
- Suede Care: For suede sections, use a specialized suede brush to remove dirt and restore the nap. For tougher stains, use a suede cleaner, following the product instructions carefully. Avoid excessive water on suede.
- Drying: Always air dry your trainers away from direct heat or sunlight. Do not put them in a washing machine or dryer, as this can damage materials and adhesives.
- Deep Cleaning: For a more thorough clean, remove laces and insoles. Hand wash laces and insoles separately. Clean the outside of the shoe as described above.
- Storage: Store trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. You can use shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
Important: Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the materials and color of the trainers.
