FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
The New Balance 327 trainers are designed primarily for casual wear and comfort. While they offer good cushioning for walking, they are not specialized for high-impact running activities.
How do I clean the suede material?
Gently brush off dry dirt with a suede brush. For tougher stains, use a suede eraser or a slightly damp cloth, then let them air dry completely. Avoid using water excessively.
What is the main difference between the 327 and other New Balance models?
The 327 stands out with its bold, retro-inspired design from the 70s, featuring a unique silhouette, oversized N logo, and a split midsole. Many other models focus on more contemporary or performance-specific aesthetics.
Are these trainers waterproof?
No, the suede and mesh construction is not waterproof. They are water-resistant to a degree but should be kept away from heavy rain or prolonged exposure to moisture.
What kind of socks are best to wear with these trainers?
Ankle socks or no-show socks are popular choices for a clean look. Medium-weight casual socks also work well for comfort.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Ensure there is a little space at the front of the toe box. Your heel should feel secure without slipping. Try them on with the type of socks you typically wear.
Troubleshooting
Suede becoming stiff or discolored
Ensure suede is treated with a protective spray before first wear and avoid excessive moisture. Clean gently with a suede brush or eraser.
Reduced comfort over time
Check for wear and tear on the insole and outsole. Consider replacing the insole for added cushioning if needed.
Traction seems poor
Clean the rubber outsole of any debris or mud. The tread pattern is designed for casual grip; ensure it's not worn down significantly.
