FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While inspired by 70s runners, the 327 is designed primarily as a lifestyle fashion sneaker and is best suited for daily wear rather than intense athletic training.
How do I keep the suede clean?
We recommend using a suede-specific cleaning kit, avoiding water, and using a soft brush to maintain the texture.
Does the shoe run true to size?
Yes, most users find the New Balance 327 fits true to standard sizing, though individual preference for width may vary.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the suede materials and compromise the adhesives used in the construction.
What is the main difference between these and modern athletic shoes?
These prioritize a retro-lifestyle aesthetic and everyday comfort, whereas dedicated athletic shoes use high-tech materials optimized for specific sports performance.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt on suede areas
Use a specialized suede brush or a suede eraser to gently buff away dry surface dirt.
Laces becoming loose during the day
Ensure the laces are threaded through the top eyelet for a double-knot or a more secure heel lock.
Material appears scuffed
Gently use a suede brush to restore the nap of the material to blend out minor scuffs.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 327s last, start by applying a suede-safe water repellent spray before your first wear to protect against light moisture. For general cleaning, avoid submerging the shoes in water. Instead, use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt and a clean, dry cloth to gently dab away surface stains. If the mesh panels require cleaning, a soft-bristled brush with mild, soapy water can be used sparingly. Always allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent the materials from warping or stiffening. The trainers generally fit true to size, but consider checking the specific UK size guide if you prefer a looser fit for thicker socks.
