New Balance 323 - Black - 5 UK

The New Balance 323 features an upper constructed from a blend of synthetic materials, suede, and nylon for durability and style.

The New Balance 323 is designed primarily for casual, everyday wear and style. While comfortable for walking, they are not specifically engineered for high-performance running or intense athletic activities.

For suede parts, use a soft brush and specialized suede cleaner. For synthetic and nylon areas, wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap. Always air dry away from direct heat and avoid machine washing.

A flared midsole widens towards the bottom, providing a stable base and often incorporating more cushioning material. This contributes to enhanced comfort and support during everyday wear.

This specific variant of the New Balance 323 is in UK size 5 for adult males, ensuring a proper fit for adult foot dimensions.

The 'exaggerated fang design' refers to the distinct, angular overlay elements on the shoe's upper, inspired by classic New Balance running shoes from the 1970s. It gives the 323 its unique, retro-modern profile.

Ensure you have selected the correct UK size 5 for adult males. Foot size can vary, so try them on with different sock thicknesses or during the end of the day when feet are slightly larger to assess fit accurately.

Use a specialized suede brush to gently clean and lift dirt. For tougher stains, apply a small amount of suede cleaner to a clean cloth and dab the affected area, then brush to restore texture. Avoid scrubbing too hard or saturating the suede with water.

Wipe the affected areas with a soft, damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Gently rub to remove scuffs or dirt, then wipe with a clean damp cloth to remove any soap residue. Allow to air dry completely.

Allow the shoes to air out regularly after wear. Remove insoles if possible to air them separately. You can also use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside to absorb moisture and neutralize odours. Ensure shoes are completely dry before storing.
