Product Information
Full details
The New Balance Men's Tonal 327 Trainers in Black are designed for the adult male seeking a versatile, stylish, and comfortable everyday shoe with a nod to 70s running heritage. Their key benefit lies in the fusion of retro aesthetics with modern comfort and a unique design. A potential caveat is that the trail-inspired lug outsole, while distinctive, may offer a different feel than traditional trainers for some users. These trainers feature an oversized N branding, a unique trail-inspired lug outsole, and a construction of natural leather and high-quality mesh for breathability.

Troubleshooting
Sizing feels incorrect
Ensure you have checked the UK sizing guide. If the fit is still not right, consider trying a different size or consulting the product's return policy.
Laces become dirty
Remove the laces and hand wash them with mild soap and water. Allow them to air dry completely before re-lacing the trainers.
Outsole grip feels different than expected
The trail-inspired lug outsole is designed for varied surfaces. Allow a brief period of wear to adapt to the unique tread pattern. Ensure the outsole is free from debris.
