FAQs
What is the primary inspiration for the New Balance 327 design?
The New Balance 327 design draws heavily from the retro aesthetics of 1970s running shoes, blended with modern design elements.
What material is the upper of this specific UK 6 Grey variant made from?
This specific variant (U327WCA) features a leather upper.
Are these trainers suitable for athletic training or sports?
While comfortable for everyday wear and light activity, the 327s are primarily lifestyle trainers and may not offer the specialized support required for intense athletic training or specific sports.
How should I clean the leather upper?
Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt. For tougher marks, consider a specialized leather cleaner, but always test on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid soaking the shoes.
What does 'anti-collision design' on the sole refer to?
The anti-collision design refers to the sole's construction and tread pattern, engineered to provide better stability and reduce the likelihood of trips or foot injuries.
How do I find the right size if I'm unsure?
Refer to the official New Balance sizing guide and measure your foot from heel to toe. Consider your usual shoe size and any known fit preferences for the brand.
Can these trainers be worn in wet weather?
While the leather offers some protection, they are not waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain to protect the material and ensure comfort.
Troubleshooting
Sizing feels incorrect
Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks and have measured your feet accurately. Refer to New Balance's official sizing chart for the 327 series. If still unsure, consider trying them on in-store if possible.
Leather appears dry or stiff
Apply a small amount of leather conditioner with a soft cloth. Allow it to absorb, then buff gently. Do this periodically to maintain the leather's suppleness.
Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces
Ensure the soles are clean and free from mud or debris. Some smooth surfaces may inherently offer less grip. The tread pattern is designed for general use, not extreme conditions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: For the leather upper, use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt and debris. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: If the trainers get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the leather.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in their original box or a shoe bag, to maintain their shape and protect the material.
- Sole Maintenance: Periodically check the rubber sole for any embedded debris and clean with a brush if necessary. Ensure laces are clean and tied securely before each wear.
