FAQs
Are New Balance 327 shoes suitable for running or sports?
No, while inspired by 1970s running shoe aesthetics, the New Balance 327 is designed as a lifestyle sneaker for casual wear and comfort, not for high-performance athletic activities or sports.
How do I properly clean the suede material on my 327s?
Use a soft-bristled suede brush for routine cleaning to remove dry dirt. For stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and follow its instructions carefully, always testing on a small, hidden area first. Avoid using excessive water or harsh chemicals.
Are these shoes waterproof?
The suede material is not naturally waterproof. It is highly recommended to apply a suede protector spray before wearing and periodically thereafter to help repel water and prevent stains. Avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions.
What is the typical fit of the New Balance 327?
The New Balance 327 generally fits true to size. This specific model is a UK size 8. For the best fit, we recommend trying them on or consulting a New Balance sizing guide if you are unsure.
Can I wear these shoes in all seasons?
While versatile, the suede material is best suited for dry conditions. They can be worn year-round, but extra caution and protection should be applied in wet, snowy, or muddy weather to preserve the suede.
How can I prevent creases in my New Balance 327s?
To help prevent creases, consider using shoe trees when you're not wearing them. Also, ensure your laces are tied properly to prevent your foot from shifting excessively within the shoe, which can contribute to creasing.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dirty or stained.
Use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt. For deeper stains, apply a dedicated suede cleaner with a soft cloth, testing on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid excessive moisture.
Shoes feel uncomfortable or rub.
Ensure you have the correct size; this model is UK 8. Break them in gradually over several wears. Consider trying different types of socks for improved cushioning and fit.
Shoes develop an odor.
Remove insoles to allow the shoes to air out between wears. Use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes when not in use. Ensure shoes are completely dry after wear.
Suede nap looks flattened or dull.
Gently brush the suede with a suede brush, always brushing in one direction, to restore the texture and even out the appearance of the nap.

Care
Maintaining the quality of your suede New Balance 327s is crucial for longevity and appearance:
- Initial Protection: Before your first wear, apply a high-quality suede and nubuck protector spray. This creates a barrier against water and stains. Reapply periodically as per product instructions.
- Routine Cleaning: Use a dedicated suede brush to gently remove loose dirt, dust, and scuffs. Always brush in one direction to maintain the suede's nap.
- Spot Cleaning: For tougher stains, use a specialized suede cleaner. Apply sparingly to a clean cloth and dab the stain. Always test on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid harsh scrubbing.
- Drying: If your shoes get wet, stuff them with paper towels or newspaper to absorb moisture and help them retain their shape. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources (like radiators or direct sunlight), which can damage suede.
- Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees can help maintain their original shape and prevent creasing when not in use.
