FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The New Balance 327 is designed as a lifestyle trainer. While it draws inspiration from 1970s running models, it is not optimized for modern high-performance running.
How do I clean the mesh parts of the shoe?
Gently scrub the mesh areas with a mild soap and water solution using a soft cloth, then air dry away from direct heat.
Are these trainers waterproof?
No, the combination of suede and mesh makes them breathable but not waterproof. Avoid wearing them in heavy rain.
Do these run true to size?
Most users find that the New Balance 327 runs true to their standard UK shoe size.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the insoles are typically removable if you need to insert your own custom orthotics.
What is the primary material used?
The shoes feature a combination of premium suede overlays and durable, breathable mesh panels.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt on suede upper
Use a specialized suede brush or a soft eraser to gently lift dirt from the nap of the suede.
Creasing at the toe box
This is common with suede and fabric trainers; use a shoe tree when not in use to help maintain the shape.
Loss of traction
Check the lug outsole for debris or small stones lodged in the treads and gently remove them with a soft brush.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 327 trainers stay in top condition, proper care is essential. Since the upper contains suede, avoid machine washing or soaking the shoes. Instead, spot clean marks using a soft-bristled brush or a dedicated suede cleaning kit. Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading of the suede. For the best fit, ensure you select your standard UK size, as the 327 typically adheres to standard New Balance sizing protocols.
