FAQs
Is the New Balance 327 good for running?
While inspired by 70s runners, the 327 is a lifestyle sneaker designed for casual, everyday use rather than high-performance athletic running.
How do I clean the mesh panels?
Use a mild soap and a soft cloth, gently dabbing the area. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources.
Does the shoe run true to size?
The New Balance 327 generally fits true to size for most adults, though it is recommended to follow the UK sizing guide for the most accurate fit.
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, the combination of suede and mesh is not waterproof. It is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the insoles are typically removable, allowing you to replace them with custom orthotics if required.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt on suede upper
Use a dry, soft-bristled brush to gently brush away surface dirt. Avoid using water as it can stain the suede.
Heel slipping while walking
Retie the laces using the top eyelet to create a runner's loop, which secures the heel more firmly in place.
Creasing at the toe box
Insert shoe trees when not in use to help the sneaker maintain its shape and reduce natural material creasing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 327 sneakers last, follow these maintenance tips:
- Initial Setup: Ensure the laces are adjusted to your preferred tension upon first wear to prevent heel slippage.
- Compatibility: These shoes pair best with casual attire such as jeans, chinos, or athletic joggers.
- Cleaning Suede: Avoid machine washing. Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt and a dedicated suede eraser for minor marks. Keep the shoes away from prolonged exposure to heavy moisture to preserve the material integrity.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material fading.
