FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running or sports?

No, while the New Balance 327 draws inspiration from the brand's running heritage, it is designed as a lifestyle and fashion sneaker. It is not intended for athletic performance or serious running.

How do I clean the brown suede material?

To clean the suede, use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt. For stains, gently use a suede eraser or a dedicated suede cleaner, following the product's instructions. Always allow shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat.

Can I wear these New Balance 327s in the rain?

It is not recommended to wear suede shoes in heavy rain or wet conditions, as moisture can damage the material and cause staining. If they do get wet, allow them to air dry naturally and use a suede brush to restore the nap.

Do New Balance 327s fit true to size?

Generally, New Balance 327s are considered to fit true to size for most individuals. However, fit can vary slightly based on foot shape. It's always best to try them on if possible or refer to New Balance's official sizing chart.

Are there other color or material options available for the 327 series?

Yes, the New Balance 327 series comes in a wide array of colors, materials (including leather, nylon, and synthetic blends), and patterns. This specific variant features brown suede, but many other options exist across the collection.

What is the 'N' logo on the side made of?

The oversized 'N' logo on the New Balance 327 is typically made from a synthetic leather or suede material, matching or complementing the shoe's upper, and is designed to stand out as a key design feature.

Troubleshooting

Suede looks dull or matted.

Gently brush the suede with a specialized suede brush. Brush in one consistent direction to lift the nap and restore its original texture. For very matted areas, a steam treatment (holding over gentle steam) followed by brushing can help.

Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable.

Ensure you have the correct size. If they are new, allow for a brief break-in period; suede can slightly stretch. Try adjusting the lacing pattern to relieve pressure points, or wear thinner socks.

Suede has a stain or dirt mark.

For dry dirt, use a suede brush and then a suede eraser to gently rub away the mark. For liquid stains, blot immediately with a clean cloth, then use a specialized suede cleaner following product instructions. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.

Shoes squeak when walking.

This can sometimes be caused by friction between the insole and the shoe's sole. Try removing the insole, dusting inside the shoe with baby powder or cornstarch, and then reinserting the insole. If the squeak persists, check the outsole for any loose parts or consult a cobbler.

Care

The suede material of your New Balance 327s requires specific care to maintain its appearance and longevity.

  1. Initial Protection: Before first wear, treat the suede with a water and stain repellent spray specifically designed for suede. Repeat periodically.
  2. Regular Cleaning: Use a suede brush to gently remove dirt and dust. Brush in one direction to maintain the nap.
  3. Spot Cleaning: For stubborn marks, use a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner. Apply sparingly and blot, do not rub aggressively.
  4. Drying: If shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and maintain shape. Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat.
  5. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Consider using shoe trees to help maintain shape.
