FAQs

What is the primary use case for the New Balance 327?

The New Balance 327 is primarily designed for everyday casual wear, offering comfort and style for daily activities and light outdoor use.

Are these shoes suitable for running or sports?

No, the New Balance 327 is a lifestyle sneaker and not designed for high-impact sports like running or intense athletic training. It offers good grip for walking but lacks the specialized support for such activities.

How should I clean my leather New Balance 327s?

Gently wipe the leather with a slightly damp cloth. For tougher spots, use a cleaner specifically for leather footwear, and always air dry away from heat.

What does 'White Gray' colorway mean?

This refers to the primary colors used in the shoe's design, featuring a combination of white and grey tones.

Is the fit true to size?

The description mentions a 'snug fit'. Many users find them true to size, but if you prefer more room or are between sizes, considering sizing up might be beneficial.

What material is the upper made of?

The upper is crafted from leather, contributing to its classic look and durability.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

While the outsole offers some slip resistance, the leather upper is not waterproof and may be damaged by excessive moisture. They are best suited for dry or lightly damp conditions.

Troubleshooting

Squeaking noise from shoes

This can sometimes occur with new leather shoes. Try applying a small amount of talcum powder under the insole or gently flexing the shoe to break it in. Ensure the laces are not too tight.

Leather feels stiff

New leather can be stiff. Wear the shoes for short periods initially to break them in gradually. You can also use a leather conditioner specifically designed for footwear, following the product's instructions.

Reduced grip on wet surfaces

While the outsole is slip-resistant, performance on extremely wet or slick surfaces may be reduced. Ensure the outsole is clean. For very slippery conditions, exercise caution.

Color transfer from shoe to socks

This is more common with darker dyes, especially when new and wet. Wearing darker socks can help minimize the appearance. If it persists after initial wears, a fabric protector spray might help, but test on a small area first.
