FAQs
Are the New Balance 327 suitable for running?
While inspired by running shoe heritage, the 327 are primarily designed for lifestyle and casual wear. They offer comfort and some support for light activity but are not intended for high-impact or competitive running.
How do I clean the 'Stellar Blue' colorway?
Use a damp cloth and mild soap for general cleaning. For the leather parts, use a dedicated leather cleaner. Always air dry and avoid direct heat.
What does 'SuperComp multi-functional upper' mean?
This refers to the advanced material used in the upper part of the shoe, designed to be lightweight, breathable, and provide a comfortable, adaptive fit.
Can these trainers be worn in wet weather?
The trainers are made with leather and other materials that are not inherently waterproof. They are best suited for dry or mildly damp conditions. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain is not recommended.
What is the inspiration behind the 327 series?
The 327 series is inspired by New Balance's classic 300 series and 70s aesthetics, incorporating design elements from models like the 320, 355, and SuperComp.
Is this specific model (MS327LC1) available in other colors?
The MS327LC1 is the product code for the 'Stellar Blue' colorway. New Balance offers the 327 series in various colorways and material combinations, which may have different product codes.
Troubleshooting
Sizing seems incorrect
Refer to the New Balance sizing chart for accurate measurements. Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. Different models can have slight variations.
Discomfort during initial wear
New shoes often require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time. Ensure laces are adjusted for a snug but not tight fit.
Reduced grip on slippery surfaces
While the studded outsole offers good grip, extremely wet or oily surfaces can still pose a hazard. Clean the outsole regularly to remove any debris that might affect traction.
Leather material showing signs of wear
Apply a suitable leather protector spray and use a leather conditioner regularly. For minor scuffs, a specialized leather cleaner or eraser may help.
