FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running or sports?

The New Balance 323 is primarily designed for casual wear and everyday comfort. While they offer good cushioning for walking, they are not engineered for high-performance running or specialized sports activities.

How do I clean the suede and nylon upper?

For suede, use a suede brush to gently remove dirt. For tougher marks, a suede eraser or cleaner can be used. For the nylon and synthetic parts, wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap. Always air dry away from direct heat.

What is the fit like for the New Balance 323?

The 323 typically offers a comfortable, standard fit. It is generally recommended to order your usual New Balance size. If you're unsure, consulting a New Balance size chart or trying them on is best.

Are these shoes true to size?

Most users find the New Balance 323 to be true to size. This specific pair is a UK men's size 5. If you typically wear a UK 5 in other New Balance sneakers, this should be a suitable fit.

Can I wear these in rainy weather?

While the synthetic and nylon components offer some water resistance, the suede material is susceptible to water damage. It is recommended to apply a water and stain repellent spray to protect them, especially in wet conditions.

What is the sole made of?

The sole features a distinctive flared midsole, which is typically made of EVA foam for cushioning, combined with a durable rubber outsole for traction and longevity. Info needed: [Exact sole material composition beyond 'flared midsole' is not specified.]

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable.

Ensure you have the correct size. New shoes sometimes require a short 'break-in' period. Try wearing them for shorter durations initially to allow them to conform to your foot.

Suede appears matted or dirty.

Use a dedicated suede brush to gently rub the affected areas. For tougher spots, a suede eraser or cleaner designed for sneakers can be effective. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first.

Shoes get wet or stained easily.

Apply a water and stain repellent spray suitable for mixed materials (suede, synthetic, nylon) before wearing, especially in unpredictable weather. Reapply periodically as directed by the product.

Care

To ensure the longevity and appearance of your New Balance 323 sneakers:

  1. General Cleaning: For synthetic and nylon areas, wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals.
  2. Suede Care: For suede sections, use a specialized suede brush to remove dirt and restore the nap. For tougher stains, a suede cleaner can be used, following product instructions carefully.
  3. Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can damage materials.
  4. Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
  5. Protection: Consider applying a water and stain repellent spray suitable for mixed-material shoes, especially on the suede, to protect against elements.
