FAQs
Are New Balance 327 trainers true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard sizing conventions for adults.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the suede and the structural integrity of the shoe; manual cleaning is highly recommended.
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While inspired by 1970s runners, these are intended as lifestyle trainers for casual use rather than performance running.
How do I protect the suede?
Using a water and stain repellent spray specifically designed for suede before the first wear can help protect against dirt and light moisture.
What is the primary material used?
The upper is crafted from high-quality suede, paired with a durable rubber sole for the midsole and outsole.
Troubleshooting
Visible water spots on the suede material
Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, then use a suede brush to restore the nap of the material.
The sole feels slippery on smooth indoor surfaces
Ensure the bottom of the rubber sole is clean of debris; if the issue persists, the tread may require a light scuffing or thorough wipe with a damp cloth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these trainers are constructed with suede, proper care is essential to preserve their look. Avoid wearing them in heavy rain or mud, as moisture can damage the suede texture and cause color bleeding. To clean, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dust and dirt. For minor stains, a specialized suede eraser or a light application of a suede-safe cleaning solution is recommended. Ensure the shoes are kept in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading. Given their UK 8.5 sizing, these are standard fit; wear them with cotton or athletic-blend socks for the best experience.
