FAQs
Are the New Balance 327 trainers suitable for running?
The New Balance 327 trainers are primarily designed as lifestyle footwear for everyday wear. While they offer comfort and grip for walking, they are not optimized for intense athletic activities like running.
How should I clean the suede parts of the trainers?
For suede, use a dedicated suede brush to remove dry dirt and restore the nap. For stains, a suede eraser can be effective. For tougher marks, use a slightly damp cloth with a minimal amount of mild soap, then allow to air dry.
Can these trainers be worn by both men and women?
Yes, the New Balance 327 trainers are designed with a unisex appeal and can be worn by anyone, regardless of gender. Sizing should be confirmed based on individual foot measurements.
What does the '327' in the name signify?
The '327' designation is part of New Balance's numbering system for its footwear models, often indicating a blend of heritage and modern design influences, in this case, drawing inspiration from 1970s running shoe models.
How durable is the lugged outsole?
The lugged outsole is designed for durability and high traction in urban environments. Its robust design helps withstand regular wear on various surfaces.
What kind of socks are best to wear with these trainers?
For everyday comfort, standard athletic or casual socks work well. The choice of socks can also influence fit and breathability. Consider the thickness based on personal preference and weather.
Troubleshooting
Creasing in suede
Use a suede eraser gently to lift minor creases. For deeper creases, consider a suede brush and a suede protector spray.
Soles feel slippery on wet surfaces
While the outsole offers good traction, wet surfaces can reduce grip. Exercise caution in very wet conditions. Ensure the lugs are clear of debris.
Discoloration of materials
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. Clean spills immediately as per care instructions. Use appropriate protective sprays.
Interior discomfort
Ensure you have the correct size and consider using different socks. Break-in period may be required for initial comfort.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup: These trainers require no setup; they are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure you have the correct size for optimal comfort and fit.
Compatibility: The New Balance 327 trainers are designed as unisex lifestyle footwear, suitable for adult wear. They pair well with a wide range of clothing styles, from athletic wear to smart casual outfits.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Due to the materials (suede, mesh, and fabric), spot cleaning is recommended. Use a soft brush to remove dry dirt. For stains, use a damp cloth and a mild soap solution sparingly. Avoid soaking the shoes.
- Suede Care: Use a suede eraser or a specialized suede brush to maintain the texture and appearance of the suede panels. Protectants can help guard against stains and water damage, but test on an inconspicuous area first.
- Drying: Allow the trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading and material degradation. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
