FAQs
Are the New Balance 327 shoes suitable for running?
While inspired by '70s runners, the 327 is designed primarily as a lifestyle and casual fashion sneaker, not for high-intensity athletic running.
How should I clean the suede panels?
Use a dry, soft-bristled brush to clean off loose dirt. For spot cleaning, use a suede-specific cleaning product according to the manufacturer's instructions.
What is the primary material used in the sole?
The sole is composed of a mix of 83% EVA for cushioning and 17% rubber for durability and traction.
Do these shoes run true to size?
Yes, they generally fit true to size, though the 327 has a relatively sleek fit compared to bulkier performance models.
Can I put these trainers in the washing machine?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the suede materials and compromise the adhesives used in the shoe's construction.
What is the inspiration behind the oversized 'N' logo?
The oversized logo is a design nod to the classic New Balance 320 runner.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt on suede upper
Use a specialized suede brush or a clean, dry crepe brush to gently lift dirt without damaging the material.
Shoes feel tight after prolonged use
Ensure the laces are not tied too tightly across the midfoot; re-lacing the trainers with slightly more slack can improve blood flow and comfort.
Staining from water or spills
Pat the area with a clean, dry cloth immediately to absorb moisture; do not rub, as this pushes the stain deeper into the suede fibers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your New Balance 327 trainers in peak condition, proper care is essential, especially given the suede components. Avoid machine washing or submerging the shoes in water, as this can degrade the suede and alter the structural integrity of the upper. Instead, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dust and dirt after use. For deeper cleaning, utilize a dedicated suede cleaner and a specialized brush to maintain the nap of the material. Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent colour fading. For sizing, these shoes generally run true to size, but users with wider feet may find the slim profile of the 327 silhouette warrants a slight size increase depending on personal comfort preferences.
