FAQs
Are the New Balance 327 suitable for running?
The New Balance 327 series draws inspiration from vintage running shoes and offers good comfort and traction, making them excellent for walking and casual wear. However, they are primarily designed as lifestyle sneakers and not recommended for intense athletic running.
What materials are the New Balance 327 Grey Matter Magnet made from?
These sneakers are constructed with a combination of mesh, fabric, and suede textiles.
How do I clean the suede parts of the shoe?
Use a dedicated suede brush to remove loose dirt and restore the nap. For stains, use a suede cleaner sparingly and follow the product's instructions carefully. Always allow to air dry.
What does the 'Grey Matter Magnet' colorway refer to?
This refers to the specific color combination of the sneaker, featuring shades of grey ('Grey Matter') and a darker accent color ('Magnet'), offering an elegant look.
What is the main benefit of the thick tread sole?
The thick tread sole is designed to provide high traction and stability, similar to vintage running shoes, ensuring a secure grip on various surfaces.
Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?
While the materials offer some durability, suede can be sensitive to excessive moisture. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain and to treat them with a water-repellent spray designed for suede if necessary.
How do I find the right size?
It is recommended to consult the New Balance official sizing chart and measure your foot length. If possible, trying them on in-store is the best way to ensure a proper fit, as sizing can vary slightly between models and materials.
Troubleshooting
Sizing feels too tight or too loose
Refer to the New Balance sizing chart and measure your foot carefully. Consider the specific shoe's fit notes or try on in-store if possible. Different sizes and even materials (suede vs. leather) within the 327 range can have slight variations.
Suede appears dirty or matted
Use a dry suede brush to gently restore the nap. For stubborn marks, use a specialized suede cleaner, testing on an inconspicuous area first and following the cleaner's instructions.
Discoloration on light-colored materials
Spot clean gently with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh detergents or bleaching agents. Ensure complete air drying away from direct sunlight.
