FAQs
What age group are these trainers suitable for?
These trainers are designed for kids, specifically in the younger age groups that utilize UK children's shoe sizing.
How do I clean the New Balance PV323 Trainers?
Gently wipe the shoes with a damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a mild soap and water solution with a soft brush. Always air dry away from direct heat.
What is the sole made of?
The sole is a composite of 80% EVA (for cushioning and lightness) and 20% rubber (for durability and grip).
Can children put these on themselves?
Yes, the combination of laces and a touch 'n' close strap is designed to make them easy for children to manage independently.
Are these trainers waterproof?
No, the materials used are not designed to be waterproof. They are suitable for general wear and sports activities but not for prolonged exposure to wet conditions.
What does 'PV323' signify in the product name?
'PV323' likely refers to the specific model or series number within New Balance's children's footwear line, indicating a particular design and set of features for that model.
How should I store these trainers when not in use?
Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to help maintain their shape and prevent material degradation.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Loosen the laces and adjust the touch 'n' close strap. Ensure the correct UK size is being worn, as children's feet grow rapidly.
Difficulty fastening the touch 'n' close strap
Ensure the strap is clean and free from debris that might prevent it from adhering properly. If the hook-and-loop fastener has lost its grip, it may need replacement.
Soles showing signs of wear
Check for excessive wear on the EVA or rubber parts of the sole. For normal wear and tear from regular use, this is expected. For significant damage, consider replacement.
Materials feel stiff
This can be normal for new shoes. Wear them for short periods initially to help break them in. Avoid excessive moisture, which can stiffen some synthetic materials.
