FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

The New Balance 327 is designed as a lifestyle sneaker, prioritizing style and casual comfort over performance running. While they offer good cushioning, they are not intended for rigorous athletic training.

How do I choose the right size?

Refer to the size chart provided by New Balance and measure your foot to find the best UK size. These shoes are generally true to size, but individual fit can vary.

Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?

While the materials offer some durability, these sneakers are not waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to protect the suede and textile components.

What is the main inspiration behind the 327 design?

The design is inspired by classic New Balance running shoes from the 1970s, such as the 320, 355, and Supercomp, reinterpreted with contemporary features like a unique midsole shape and oversized branding.

How do I clean the suede parts of the shoe?

Use a suede brush to remove loose dirt. For tougher stains, a dedicated suede cleaner is recommended. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first and allow the shoes to air dry away from heat.

Is the 'Sea Salt Ocean Haze' colorway suitable for all seasons?

Yes, the 'Sea Salt Ocean Haze' colorway, with its neutral and light tones, is versatile and can be worn year-round, fitting well with various seasonal wardrobes.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dirty or stained.

Use a specialized suede cleaner and a suede brush to gently lift stains. For minor marks, a dry eraser designed for suede can be effective. Protect with a suede protector spray after cleaning.

Laces feel uneven or uncomfortable.

Adjust the lacing through the split eyelets to achieve a more balanced and comfortable fit. Experiment with different lacing patterns if necessary.

General wear and tear on the sole.

Clean the rubber sole regularly with a damp cloth. Check for any embedded stones or debris. For significant wear, consult a shoe repair specialist.
