FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for wide feet?
The New Balance 327 series is generally designed with a standard fit. While some variations might exist, it's best to check specific product details or customer reviews for information regarding width options, as this particular grey leather/suede model is listed with a standard fit.
How do I clean the suede parts without damaging them?
Gently brush the suede with a dedicated suede brush to remove dry dirt. For stains, use a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner, following the product's instructions. Always allow suede to air dry naturally away from heat.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
While the leather offers some protection, these trainers are not waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to prevent damage to the suede and leather. Using a waterproofing spray can offer some resistance.
What is the main advantage of the 327 series design?
The 327 series combines retro design elements with modern aesthetics, offering a unique silhouette that stands out. Key features include the oversized 'N' logo and a lugged outsole inspired by trail running shoes, providing both style and a comfortable stride.
How should I store these trainers when not in use?
Store them in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape, and keeping them in their original box or a breathable shoe bag will protect them from dust.
Are these trainers good for athletic performance?
No, the New Balance 327 trainers are primarily designed for lifestyle and casual wear. They offer comfort and style but are not engineered for high-impact athletic activities or specialized sports performance.
What other color options are available for the 327 series?
The 327 series comes in a variety of colorways. While this guide focuses on the grey leather/suede version, other options may include green, blue, and multi-colored variations, often with different material combinations.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks matted or dirty
Use a suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For stubborn stains, consult a specialized suede cleaner and follow its instructions carefully.
Leather creasing excessively
This is natural with leather. Ensure proper fit to minimize undue stress. Use shoe trees when not in use to help maintain shape.
Fading color
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. Store in a dark, cool place. Consider using color-restoring products if available for the specific materials.
Sole feels stiff
The sole will soften with regular wear. Ensure the shoes fit correctly; a tight fit can make the sole feel stiffer than intended.
