FAQs
Are these sneakers suitable for running or gym workouts?
The New Balance 323 Sneaker is primarily designed for casual wear and lifestyle purposes, offering comfort and style. While they provide general comfort, they are not engineered with the specific support, cushioning, or stability features required for high-performance running or intense gym workouts.
How do I determine the correct size?
This specific variant is a UK Women's size 6.5. New Balance sizing generally runs true to size. We recommend measuring your foot length and comparing it to the New Balance size chart if you are unsure, or trying them on if possible.
Can I wash these sneakers in a washing machine?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, especially the suede and the shoe's adhesives. For cleaning, follow the spot-cleaning and care instructions provided in the 'Setup, Compatibility & Care' section.
What is the benefit of the 'flared midsole'?
The flared midsole is a distinctive design element that contributes to the sneaker's unique aesthetic, drawing inspiration from heritage New Balance models. Beyond style, it offers enhanced stability and a comfortable base for everyday walking.
Is the New Balance 323 available in other colors or sizes?
Yes, the New Balance 323 series is typically available in a range of colors and sizes, including options for men and children. Please check available product listings for other variants.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dull or matted
Use a specialized suede brush to gently restore the nap and remove surface dirt. For deeper grime, a suede eraser can be effective.
Sneakers feel stiff or cause rubbing
Allow for a break-in period; most new shoes soften with wear. Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks for cushioning. Check lacing to avoid overtightening.
General dirt and scuffs on synthetic/nylon areas
Wipe clean with a soft, damp cloth mixed with a small amount of mild shoe cleaner or soap. Avoid abrasive materials that could scratch the surface.
Slight squeaking sound when walking
This can sometimes be due to friction between the insole and the shoe's base. Try removing the insole, sprinkling a small amount of baby powder inside the shoe, and then reinserting the insole.

Compatibility: These sneakers pair seamlessly with a wide range of casual and athleisure wear, including jeans, joggers, shorts, and casual dresses. Their classic black color makes them a versatile addition to any wardrobe, compatible with various color palettes and styles. Care: 1. General Cleaning: For synthetic and nylon areas, gently wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap. 2. Suede Care: For suede sections, use a specialized suede brush to remove dirt and restore the nap. For tougher stains, a suede cleaner designed for footwear is recommended. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive water, as this can damage the suede. 3. Drying: Always air dry sneakers at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight, which can cause materials to warp or crack. 4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place to maintain shape and material integrity. Using shoe trees can help preserve the sneaker's form. 5. Protection: Consider applying a protective spray suitable for mixed-material sneakers to help repel water and stains, especially on suede components.
