FAQs
What activities are the New Balance 327 'Sea Salt' best suited for?
These sneakers are ideal for casual running, daily walking, and general everyday wear, offering a blend of comfort and style for versatile use.
What materials are used in the New Balance 327?
The New Balance 327 features a SuperComp lightweight upper, which in this 'Sea Salt' model is made of leather, and a durable rubber sole.
How do I clean my New Balance 327 'Sea Salt' shoes?
For the leather upper, gently wipe with a soft, damp cloth and use a specialized leather cleaner if needed. The rubber sole can be cleaned with a soft brush and mild soap and water. Always allow them to air dry naturally.
Are these shoes true to size?
New Balance generally offers consistent sizing. It's recommended to refer to New Balance's official size chart or try them on to ensure the best fit for your foot, especially if you are unsure of your UK size.
What is the inspiration behind the New Balance 327's design?
The 327's design is inspired by two classic New Balance heritage models: the 1970s 320 running shoe and the 355 trail shoe, combining elements to create a distinctive vintage-meets-contemporary look.
Can I use these shoes for intense athletic training?
While versatile, the New Balance 327 is more suited for casual running and general activities. For intense, specialized athletic training, you might consider New Balance models designed with more specific performance technologies.
Troubleshooting
Squeaking sound when walking
Check if the insoles are properly seated; remove and reinsert them. If the squeak persists, ensure the shoe is completely dry, as moisture can sometimes cause this. For persistent issues, contact New Balance customer support.
Shoes feel too tight or loose
Ensure you have the correct size. Try adjusting the lacing pattern to provide more or less room. Consider wearing different sock thicknesses to fine-tune the fit.
Leather appears dull or scuffed
Clean the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth. For deeper scuffs or to restore shine, use a specialized leather conditioner or polish, applied sparingly according to product instructions.
Poor traction on certain surfaces
Ensure the rubber soles are clean and free of embedded debris. If worn, the sole's grip may diminish over time, indicating potential need for replacement or reassessment of suitability for specific activities.
Unpleasant odor from shoes
Remove insoles and allow shoes to air out. Use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes overnight. Ensure feet are clean and dry before wearing.

- Style: Its versatile design complements both athletic and casual contemporary wardrobes.
Care:
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your New Balance 327 'Sea Salt' sneakers:
- Cleaning the Upper: Since the upper is made of leather, gently wipe down the surface with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt and dust. For stubborn marks, use a specialized leather cleaner applied according to its instructions. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
- Cleaning the Sole: Use a soft brush (like an old toothbrush) and mild soap and water to clean the rubber sole, removing any trapped dirt or debris from the treads.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as these can damage the leather and adhesives.
- Storage: Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
- Protection: Consider applying a leather protector spray specifically designed for sneakers to help repel water and stains, following the product's instructions.
