FAQs

Are the New Balance 327 trainers suitable for running?

The New Balance 327 trainers are inspired by running heritage but are primarily designed for casual wear and light recreational activities. For dedicated running, specialized running shoes are recommended for optimal performance and support.

How should I clean the suede material?

Use a suede brush for dry dirt. For stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and follow the product's instructions. Avoid soaking the shoes or using a washing machine.

What is the main inspiration behind the 327 design?

The design is inspired by a combination of heritage elements from 1970s running shoes, reimagined with a contemporary outlook. This includes the wedge silhouette, oversized 'N' logo, and lug outsole.

Are these trainers good for wide feet?

The 327 trainers generally offer a standard fit. Customers with wider feet may find them to be snug initially, and it's advisable to check specific sizing guides or consider trying them on if possible.

Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?

While the suede can be treated with a water-repellent spray, it's not recommended for prolonged exposure to heavy rain. The suede material is best kept dry to maintain its appearance and durability.

What are the key materials used in the New Balance 327?

The primary materials include suede for the upper, contributing to its premium feel and retro aesthetic, and rubber for the durable outsole.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears scuffed or dirty

Use a suede brush to gently remove surface dirt. For persistent marks, use a dedicated suede cleaner, testing on an inconspicuous area first.

Laces feel loose during wear

Re-tie the laces, ensuring a snug fit without overtightening. Consider double-knotting if necessary.

Discomfort on long walks

Ensure the correct size is being worn. The 327 is designed for casual comfort, and for extended high-impact activities, specialized running shoes may offer more cushioning and support.

Water marks on suede

Allow the shoes to dry naturally away from direct heat. Once dry, use a suede brush to restore the nap. Applying a water-repellent spray can help prevent future water marks.
