FAQs

What type of socks are best with these trainers?

These trainers pair well with a variety of socks, including no-show socks for a streamlined look, or classic crew socks that complement the casual aesthetic. Consider the material and thickness based on comfort and the overall outfit.

Are these trainers suitable for running or sports?

The New Balance 327 trainers are primarily designed for casual wear and everyday comfort. They are not engineered for high-impact sports or rigorous athletic training, which require specialized footwear.

How do I ensure the correct size?

It is recommended to consult the New Balance sizing chart and measure your foot. If possible, try on a pair in-store, as fit can vary slightly between models and individuals.

Can these trainers be worn in wet weather?

While the leather offers some protection, these trainers are not waterproof. Prolonged exposure to rain or wet conditions can damage the materials, especially the suede. It's advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain and to ensure they are properly cared for afterward if they get damp.

What is the main difference between the 327 and other New Balance models?

The 327 model is distinguished by its bold, retro-inspired design featuring an oversized 'N' logo, a streamlined silhouette, and a distinctive outsole that wraps up the heel. It merges heritage design cues with a contemporary aesthetic.

How often should I clean my trainers?

Clean your trainers as needed, depending on the frequency of wear and exposure to dirt. For optimal material preservation, a light clean after heavy use and periodic deeper cleaning for both leather and suede components is recommended.

Troubleshooting

Suede looks dirty or matted

Use a dedicated suede brush to restore the nap. For stubborn marks, try a suede eraser.

Leather appears scuffed

Use a leather conditioner or a shoe polish matching the grey color to cover minor scuffs. For deeper scratches, consult a professional shoe repair service.

Laces are discolored

Remove laces and wash them by hand with mild soap and water, or place them in a mesh laundry bag and machine wash on a gentle cycle.

Soles have accumulated dirt

Wipe the soles with a damp cloth or use a soft brush with mild soap and water. Ensure they are completely dry before storing.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning Suede: For suede areas, use a suede brush to gently remove dirt and debris. For tougher stains, a suede eraser can be effective. Avoid using water, as it can stain suede.
  2. Cleaning Leather: Wipe leather surfaces with a slightly damp cloth. For deeper cleaning or conditioning, use a leather cleaner and conditioner specifically designed for footwear.
  3. Laces: Remove laces and wash them separately by hand or in a laundry bag.
  4. Soles: Use a damp cloth or a soft brush to clean the rubber soles.
  5. Drying: Always air dry the trainers away from direct heat or sunlight. Stuffing them with paper can help maintain their shape while drying.
  6. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag or the original box, to protect them from dust and damage.
