New Balance 323 - Grey - 4 UK

The New Balance 323 is best suited for casual everyday wear, urban exploration, light walking, and general lifestyle activities. While they are sports-inspired, they are not designed for high-performance running or intense athletic training.

For synthetic and nylon areas, use a damp cloth with mild soap. For suede, use a specialized suede brush to remove dirt. For tougher suede stains, use a suede cleaner and eraser. Always air dry away from direct heat.

New Balance 323 typically runs true to size for adults. We recommend ordering your usual UK shoe size. If you are between sizes, consider trying the next half size up for comfort.

The New Balance 323 features a flat heel and a flared midsole designed for general comfort. While it provides some cushioning, specific arch support levels may vary by individual. For pronounced arch support needs, you may consider using custom insoles.

While the New Balance 323 has a sports aesthetic, it is not engineered as a dedicated running shoe. It lacks the specialized cushioning, stability, and support features found in performance running footwear. It is more appropriate for casual walking and daily wear.

The flared midsole is a design element where the sole extends outwards, particularly at the heel, creating a wider base. This contributes to the shoe's unique silhouette and provides enhanced cushioning and a stable feel for everyday comfort.

The upper combines synthetic, suede, and nylon, offering a good balance of durability and aesthetic appeal for regular use. With proper care, these materials are designed to withstand daily wear and tear.

Adjust the lace-up fastening. Try loosening laces across the top of your foot if too tight, or tightening if too loose. Experiment with different lacing techniques or sock thicknesses.

Use a specialized suede brush to gently remove surface dirt. For deeper stains, apply a small amount of suede cleaner with a clean cloth, following product instructions. Allow to air dry, then re-brush.

Check if the insole is properly seated; sometimes a loose insole can cause squeaking. If not, try sprinkling a small amount of talcum powder under the insole. Ensure the outsole is clean and free from debris.
