FAQs
Are these shoes good for running?
The New Balance 327 are inspired by retro running shoes and offer good cushioning for walking and casual wear. However, they are primarily designed as lifestyle sneakers and may not provide the specific support or performance features needed for serious athletic running.
How do I clean the suede parts?
Use a suede brush to remove surface dirt. For stains, a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner is recommended. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first and allow the shoes to air dry.
What does the '327' series signify?
The 327 series represents New Balance's modern interpretation of 1970s running shoe designs, combining vintage aesthetics with contemporary technology and styling.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
While the rubber outsole offers some grip, the suede and nylon upper are not waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to protect the materials.
What size should I order?
These trainers are available in UK men's sizes. It is recommended to consult a New Balance size guide or try them on if possible to ensure the best fit, as sizing can vary.
What is the material of the sole?
The outsole is made of studded-serrated rubber, inspired by trail-running designs, providing durable grip and traction.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dirty or matted
Gently brush the suede with a dedicated suede brush to restore its texture. For tougher stains, use a suede eraser or cleaner as per product instructions.
Sole feels slippery
Ensure the outsole is clean from dirt and debris. The trail-inspired tread provides grip, but accumulation can reduce its effectiveness. Wipe the sole clean.
Discomfort or rubbing
Verify you have the correct size. If the shoe is new, allow a break-in period. Consider wearing appropriate socks.
