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.

- Laces: Remove laces and wash them separately by hand or in a laundry bag.
- Soles: Use a damp cloth or a soft brush to clean the rubber soles.
