FAQs
Are these trainers truly waterproof?
The Cordura fabric offers good water resistance due to its tight weave, but these trainers are not fully waterproof. They can handle light rain or splashes, but prolonged submersion or heavy rain may lead to water penetration.
How do I determine my correct size in unisex footwear?
It is recommended to measure your foot length in centimeters or inches and compare it to the New Balance unisex sizing chart available on their official website or provided by the retailer. Most charts will have a specific section for unisex conversions.
Can I wear these for running or intense sports?
While the 327 series is inspired by running shoes, the Cordura model is primarily designed for lifestyle wear and casual durability. For intense athletic activities, dedicated sports shoes are recommended.
What makes Cordura fabric different from regular canvas or nylon?
Cordura fabric is known for its exceptional durability, abrasion resistance, and tear strength compared to traditional canvas or standard nylon. It's often used in military gear and high-performance apparel for this reason.
How should I store these trainers when not in use?
Store them in a cool, dry place, ideally in their original box or a breathable shoe bag to protect them from dust and moisture. Avoid storing in direct sunlight or damp conditions.
What is the expected lifespan of these trainers?
With proper care and regular use for their intended purpose, the durable Cordura material and solid construction of the New Balance 327 trainers suggest a long lifespan, potentially several years, outlasting trainers made with less robust materials.
Troubleshooting
Sizing feels slightly off
Refer to the New Balance sizing chart for unisex models. Consider trying a half-size up or down based on your usual fit and the width of your foot. Ensure you are measuring your foot correctly.
Discoloration on fabric
Spot clean gently with a damp cloth and mild soap. Test cleaning solutions on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Sole feels stiff initially
New shoes, especially those with durable materials, may require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially to allow them to conform to your foot.
