FAQs
Are these shoes good for running?
The New Balance 327 features a design inspired by vintage running shoes and has a high-traction outsole, but they are primarily intended as lifestyle sneakers for casual wear rather than performance running.
How do I clean the suede material?
For suede, use a dedicated suede brush to remove dry dirt. For stains, a specialized suede cleaner is recommended. Always test any cleaner on a small, hidden area first.
What does 'Grey Matter Magnet' refer to?
'Grey Matter Magnet' refers to the specific colorway of the sneaker, combining grey tones with magnet accents, offering an elegant and minimalistic aesthetic.
What is the inspiration behind the 327 series?
The 327 series is inspired by the classic styles of the 1970s, blending heritage aesthetics with modern design and comfort.
Are these sneakers suitable for wide feet?
While designed for a standard fit, the combination of mesh and fabric in the upper may offer some flexibility. It is recommended to try them on if possible or consult sizing guides for the best fit.
What is the warranty period for New Balance sneakers?
Warranty details can vary by retailer and region. Typically, New Balance offers a limited warranty against manufacturing defects. It is best to check the specific warranty information provided at the point of purchase or on the official New Balance website.
Troubleshooting
Squeaking noise from shoes
This can sometimes occur with new shoes. Try wearing them for a few more sessions. If it persists, check if the insole is loose or consider applying a small amount of talcum powder under the insole.
Laces wear out quickly
Ensure laces are not tied too tightly, which can cause premature wear. Consider replacing them with a more durable lace material if this is a recurring issue.
Color transfer from suede
Ensure suede is properly treated and waterproofed if necessary. Avoid wearing in very wet conditions. If color transfer occurs, consult a professional shoe cleaner.
