FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
The New Balance 327 Trainers are designed for casual wear and comfort, not for performance running. Their design is inspired by vintage running shoes, but they lack the specialized support and cushioning required for modern athletic running.
How do I clean the blue and green suede parts?
For the suede, use a suede brush to remove loose dirt. For stains, apply a specialized suede cleaner sparingly and blot gently. Always allow suede to air dry away from heat.
Can I put these trainers in the washing machine?
No, machine washing is not recommended. It can damage the suede, mesh, and adhesives. Spot clean using the methods described in the care instructions.
What is the 'tug' outsole feature?
The 'tug' outsole is inspired by the design of the New Balance 355 Trail Running Shoe. It provides a distinctive visual element and enhanced grip suitable for various casual surfaces.
What does the oversized 'N' logo signify?
The oversized 'N' logo is a signature design element of the 327 series, contributing to its bold, retro-inspired aesthetic that pays homage to classic New Balance styles.
Is this model unisex?
While this specific listing is for men's sizing (UK 6.5), the New Balance 327 series is popular across genders, and other colorways and sizes may be available that are marketed as unisex.
What type of socks should I wear with these trainers?
You can wear them with various types of socks, from no-show socks for a cleaner look to athletic socks for added comfort during extended wear. Consider the material and thickness based on your comfort preference and the weather.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dirty or stained
Gently brush off dry dirt with a suede brush. For stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner, testing on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid using water excessively on the suede.
Mesh panels look grimy
Wipe the mesh gently with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Rinse the cloth and wipe again to remove soap residue. Allow to air dry.
Tread feels slippery on certain surfaces
Ensure the outsole is clean and free from debris. While inspired by trail shoes, they are primarily designed for casual urban use. For highly slippery conditions, exercise caution.
General discomfort or poor fit
Ensure you have selected the correct size. If the issue persists, consider wearing them with appropriate socks or consulting a shoe fitting guide.
