Its primary appeal lies in its heritage-inspired design, drawing from iconic New Balance models, enhanced by a modern flared midsole for improved cushioning.

Troubleshooting

My shoes feel too tight or loose.

Ensure you have the correct UK size 5.5. Try adjusting the lacing pattern; a looser lace-up might relieve tightness, while a tighter lace-up can secure a slightly looser fit. Consider wearing socks of different thicknesses.

There are scuffs or stains on the suede sections.

Use a specialized suede brush to gently remove surface dirt. For deeper stains, apply a small amount of suede cleaner according to its instructions. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.

The nylon upper looks dirty or discolored.

Mix a small amount of mild detergent with water. Using a soft cloth, gently rub the soiled areas. Wipe clean with a damp cloth and allow to air dry completely.

The sole seems to be losing its cushioning or grip.

The flared midsole is designed for lifestyle comfort, not intense activities. If grip is an issue, ensure the outsole is clean. For significant cushioning loss, consider whether the shoes have reached the end of their functional lifespan, especially with regular use.

My shoes make a squeaking sound when I walk.

This can sometimes be caused by moisture trapped between the insole and the shoe's sole. Remove the insoles, clean and dry both the insole and the shoe's interior thoroughly. If the sound persists, a small amount of baby powder under the insole can sometimes help.

FAQs

Are the New Balance 323 suitable for running or gym workouts?

No, the New Balance 323 is designed primarily as a lifestyle sneaker, blending heritage style with everyday comfort. It is not engineered for the demands of high-performance running or rigorous gym workouts.

How do I clean the different materials on the upper?

For synthetic and nylon parts, use a soft cloth with mild soap and water. For suede sections, use a specialized suede brush for dry dirt and a suede cleaner for stains. Always air dry away from direct heat.

Do these sneakers run true to size?

New Balance 323 models typically run true to size for a standard fit. We recommend ordering your usual UK shoe size, which for this product is 5.5. If you are between sizes, consider trying both options.

Are the New Balance 323 sneakers waterproof?

No, these sneakers are not waterproof. The synthetic, suede, and nylon upper offers standard protection against light moisture but is not designed to be waterproof or water-resistant.

What is the best way to store my sneakers?

Store your New Balance 323 sneakers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help them maintain their shape and prevent creasing when not in use.
