FAQs
What is the primary inspiration for the New Balance 327 design?
The New Balance 327 draws inspiration from classic 1970s running shoe aesthetics, blended with contemporary design elements.
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While inspired by running shoes, the 327 is primarily a lifestyle sneaker designed for comfort and style during everyday wear, not for high-performance running.
How do I clean the suede parts of the shoe?
For suede, use a dedicated suede brush to remove dirt and a suede eraser for stubborn marks. Avoid water and harsh chemicals.
What does 'EVA midsole' mean for comfort?
EVA (Ethylene Vinyl Acetate) is a foam material known for its cushioning properties. An EVA midsole provides good shock absorption and support for comfortable all-day wear.
What is the benefit of the studded-serrated outsole?
This design, borrowed from trail running shoes, provides enhanced grip and stability on a variety of surfaces, offering reliable traction.
What is the original retail price of this model?
The New Balance 327 Grey Matter White retailed at $100 upon its release on March 1, 2023.
How does the fit compare to other New Balance sneakers?
The 327 is described as having a supportive and snug fit. Fit can vary between models, so trying them on or consulting size charts is recommended.
Troubleshooting
Squeaking noise during walking
This can sometimes occur due to friction between components. Try applying a small amount of talcum powder under the insole or ensuring laces are properly tightened.
Discoloration on suede material
Suede can be sensitive to moisture. If wet, allow to dry naturally. For stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and brush.
Fit feels too snug
The 327 is designed for a snug, supportive fit. If it feels uncomfortably tight, ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. If the issue persists, consider trying a half-size up or a different model known for a wider fit.
