FAQs
Are these shoes machine washable?
No, the suede upper is not suitable for machine washing. Please use spot cleaning methods to preserve the quality of the material.
How do I choose the right size for my infant?
Measure your child's foot while they are standing. The shoe should have enough room in the toe box to allow for movement, but the heel should fit snugly.
Are these suitable for outdoor play?
They are ideal for early walking stages; however, as they are crafted from suede, they are best suited for dry conditions and light play.
What is the benefit of the 327 series for infants?
The New-B variant is specifically adapted from the classic 327 series to provide a wider, more accommodating fit for developing infant feet.
Do these provide arch support?
Yes, the design incorporates a supportive instep to help maintain alignment and stability as infants begin to find their balance.
Troubleshooting
The hook-and-loop closure is not sticking securely.
Check the strap for lint or fabric debris and remove it; ensure the mating surfaces are clean and pressed firmly together.
The suede is showing minor water spots.
Let the shoes air dry completely, then use a dry suede brush to gently buff the area to restore the texture.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best fit, verify your child's foot size using a standard measuring device, as the 327 New-B is designed with a specific volume to accommodate growing feet. When putting the shoes on, ensure the foot is fully seated in the heel cup before securing the hook-and-loop strap to prevent slippage.
Care instructions for the suede upper involve avoiding water submersion. For light debris, use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove dust. If minor stains occur, a dedicated suede eraser or a slightly damp cloth with a mild, neutral soap can be used cautiously. Always allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources to maintain the integrity of the materials.
