Product Information
Full details
The New Balance 327 is a versatile lifestyle shoe designed for adults who appreciate a blend of 1970s running heritage and modern aesthetic updates. Its primary benefit is providing a distinctive, stylish look that bridges the gap between retro fashion and contemporary comfort, though potential buyers should note that it is primarily a casual trainer rather than a high-performance long-distance running shoe.

FAQs
Is the New Balance 327 suitable for running?
No, the 327 is classified as a lifestyle and fashion shoe. While it is inspired by running history, it does not feature the technical cushioning or support needed for dedicated running.
Does the leather upper require special care?
Yes, it is recommended to use leather-specific cleaning products and avoid submerging the shoes in water.
How do these fit compared to other New Balance models?
The 327 typically runs true to size. If you have particularly wide feet, you may find the streamlined, angular silhouette slightly snugger than wider-fit models.
Can I wear these in rainy weather?
While the lug sole provides good traction, the leather upper can be damaged by excessive moisture. It is best to avoid heavy rain or puddles.
Are these shoes unisex?
This specific variant is sized for women, but the 327 design is widely considered gender-neutral in its aesthetic appeal.
Troubleshooting
Creasing on the leather upper
Use a shoe tree when not wearing the shoes to help maintain the original shape and minimize deep creases.
Dirt stuck in the lug outsole
Use a soft-bristled brush or an old toothbrush to gently dislodge debris from the crevices of the lug tread.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because the upper is constructed from leather, it is important to avoid prolonged exposure to harsh weather conditions. To maintain your shoes:
- Cleaning: Wipe the leather surface regularly with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent leather cracking or fading.
- Conditioning: Use a leather-safe conditioner periodically to keep the material supple.
- Lacing: Ensure laces are tied securely but not overtightened to preserve the eyelet integrity over long-term use.
