FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
No, while inspired by 70s runners, the New Balance 327 is designed for casual, all-day lifestyle wear rather than high-impact running or athletic performance.
How should I clean the suede panels?
Use a dry suede brush to keep them clean. Avoid water and standard detergents, as these can ruin the texture and colour of the suede.
Do they fit true to size?
The New Balance 327 generally fits true to size, but the mesh construction provides a flexible fit compared to rigid leather trainers.
Is the sole slippery?
The rubber lug outsole is designed for standard urban surfaces and provides reliable traction for daily walking.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the internal inserts are generally removable, allowing you to swap them for your own orthotic insoles if required.
Troubleshooting
Outer material getting stained
Use a dry, soft-bristled suede brush to gently lift dirt. Avoid liquid cleaners unless they are specifically formulated for suede.
Laces coming undone frequently
Ensure the laces are threaded through all eyelets properly to distribute tension and consider a double-knot if extra security is needed.
Debris caught in the lug outsole
Use a dull plastic tool or a stiff brush to gently dislodge pebbles or mud from the patterned rubber grooves after outdoor use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 327 trainers stay in top condition:
- Fit Adjustment: Utilize the adjustable lace system to achieve a secure fit that doesn't impede circulation.
- Cleaning: Use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt from the upper. For deeper cleaning, use a mild leather-safe cleaner, but avoid immersing the suede in water.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the vibrant materials from fading.
- Compatibility: These trainers pair best with casual trousers, jeans, or athleisure wear, making them a cornerstone of a versatile capsule wardrobe.
