FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The New Balance 327 trainers are inspired by retro running shoes and feature a grippy outsole, but they are primarily designed for lifestyle and casual wear. They offer comfort for walking and daily activities but are not recommended for serious athletic training or competitive running.
How do I determine the correct size?
It's recommended to check the New Balance sizing chart for men's footwear. Measuring your foot length and comparing it to the chart can help ensure you select the best fit. Many users find it helpful to read reviews regarding sizing for this specific model.
What is the primary material used in the upper?
The upper of the New Balance 327 Grey Matter White features a combination of lightweight nylon and premium suede overlays, offering both breathability and a stylish aesthetic.
How should I clean the suede parts of the trainers?
For suede, use a dry suede brush to remove loose dirt. For stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and follow the product's instructions carefully. Avoid getting the suede excessively wet.
What does the '327' signify?
The '327' is a model designation by New Balance. This series blends design elements from various shoes released in the 1970s, creating a unique retro-modern silhouette.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
While the rubber outsole provides good grip, the suede and nylon upper materials are not waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to protect the materials and ensure comfort.
What is the benefit of the angular midsole design?
The angular midsole is a distinct design feature inspired by contemporary trends and enhances the shoe's overall modern aesthetic. It works in conjunction with the EVA cushioning to provide comfort and support.
Troubleshooting
Laces becoming untied easily
Ensure you are tying a secure double knot. Consider replacing the laces with ones that have better grip if the issue persists.
Discomfort after initial wear
New shoes, especially those with EVA midsoles, may require a break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time. Ensure you have the correct size and width.
Suede appearing dirty or matted
Use a suede brush to gently lift the nap of the suede. For stubborn marks, use a specialized suede cleaner following product instructions.
