FAQs

What is the primary inspiration for the New Balance 327 design?

The design is inspired by classic New Balance models from the 1970s, including the 320, 355, and Supercomp, featuring elements like a flared midsole and exaggerated fang design.

Are these trainers suitable for running?

The New Balance 327 trainers are primarily designed for casual wear and offer a responsive feel. While inspired by trail running shoes, they are not specialized for rigorous athletic performance.

How do I determine the correct size?

Refer to the size chart provided by New Balance, comparing your foot measurements to their UK sizing. This guide specifically references UK size 6.5.

What materials are used in the upper construction?

The upper is constructed from a combination of durable leather and breathable mesh.

What does the '4mm drop' refer to?

The 4mm drop indicates the difference in height between the heel and the forefoot of the shoe, suggesting a relatively low profile and a more natural foot positioning compared to shoes with a larger drop.

How does the shoe manage moisture?

Enhanced dampness control features are incorporated to minimize moisture retention and increase breathability, helping to keep feet drier and more comfortable.

What is the outsole designed for?

The lugged outsole is inspired by the 355 trail running shoe and is designed to provide optimal traction on various surfaces.

Troubleshooting

Discomfort after first wear

New shoes often require a break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time as they conform to your feet.

Traction feels insufficient on wet surfaces

While the lugged outsole provides good grip, extreme wet conditions can reduce effectiveness. Ensure the outsole is clean from debris. For slippery conditions, exercise caution.

Leather appears dry

Apply a small amount of leather conditioner using a soft cloth and buff gently. Follow product instructions for the conditioner.

Mesh material looks dirty

Gently use a soft brush or damp cloth with a minimal amount of mild soap. Rinse the cloth and wipe away any soap residue. Allow to air dry.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Stylish retro-inspired design with modern updates.
  • Comfortable fit with enhanced breathability.
  • Durable construction with leather and mesh materials.
  • Versatile traction provided by the lugged outsole.
  • Lightweight feel for a responsive experience.

Cons

  • The unique design may not suit all personal styles.
  • May require specific cleaning methods due to mixed materials.
  • The 4mm drop might not be ideal for those accustomed to zero-drop footwear.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These trainers require no specific setup beyond lacing them to your preferred tightness. Ensure they fit comfortably before wearing them for extended periods.

Compatibility: The New Balance 327 trainers are designed for casual wear and are compatible with a wide range of casual outfits. They are suitable for adult women.

Care: To maintain the condition of your trainers, it is recommended to spot clean them with a mild detergent and a damp cloth. Avoid machine washing or soaking. Allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources. For the leather components, a leather conditioner can be used periodically to maintain suppleness. The mesh areas should be cleaned gently to prevent damage.
