FAQs
Are these shoes good for running?
No, the New Balance 327 is designed as a lifestyle and casual walking shoe, not for long-distance running or high-impact athletic performance.
Do I need to spray these with a protective coating?
While not required, a light application of a water and stain repellent spray suitable for your specific material type can help preserve the look of the trainers.
How do I determine my New Balance size?
Measure your foot from the tip of your longest toe to the back of your heel and compare this measurement against the official New Balance size chart.
Can I wash these in a washing machine?
It is not recommended to wash these trainers in a washing machine, as the heat and agitation can damage the materials and bonding agents.
Are these trainers waterproof?
The New Balance 327 is not waterproof. They are best suited for dry weather conditions.
Troubleshooting
The fit feels slightly tight across the midfoot
Try adjusting the lacing pattern to be looser through the eyelets over the bridge of the foot.
Surface dirt accumulating on the exterior
Use a dry, soft brush for suede areas and a damp cloth for leather segments to gently lift away debris.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best experience, start by measuring your foot length using a standard size guide to confirm the UK 8.5 (or your specific size) is correct for your foot shape. When caring for your 327 trainers, avoid submerging them in water or using harsh detergents. Instead, use a soft-bristled brush to remove surface dust and a slightly damp cloth to wipe down the leather or suede components. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent material warping or adhesive degradation.
