FAQs
Are these shoes machine washable?
No, because they are made with suede, it is recommended to spot clean them instead to avoid damaging the material.
Is the sole flexible enough for new walkers?
Yes, the 327 NEW-B is specifically designed with the flexibility and structural support required for infants learning to walk.
How do I know if they fit correctly?
There should be about a thumb's width of space between the end of the longest toe and the front of the shoe.
Are these unisex?
Yes, the grey colorway and design are intended for any gender.
What is the closure system?
The shoe uses a hook-and-loop strap system, commonly known as Velcro, for easy adjustability.
Troubleshooting
The hook-and-loop strap loses stickiness
Use a pair of tweezers or a soft brush to remove lint and debris from the hook side of the fastener.
Suede looks dull or matted
Gently brush the suede in one direction using a suede-specific brush to lift the nap of the material.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of the suede upper, keep these maintenance tips in mind:
- Routine Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove surface dirt after outdoor play.
- Stain Removal: Use a specialized suede eraser for small scuffs; avoid saturating the material with water.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can fade the grey color over time.
- Fit Check: Since toddlers grow quickly, check the heel fit monthly to ensure the shoe still provides proper support without being too tight.
