FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for serious running or marathons?
The New Balance 327 is primarily designed for casual running, walking, and everyday wear. While comfortable and versatile, it is not engineered for high-performance training, long-distance running, or competitive marathons.
How do I maintain the 'Sea Salt' white color of the leather?
Regularly wipe the leather with a soft, damp cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized white leather cleaner and follow its instructions. Promptly address any spills or dirt to prevent staining. Consider using a leather protector spray.
What is the 'SuperComp upper' material?
The 'SuperComp upper' refers to a lightweight material used in the construction of the shoe, designed to provide comfort and contribute to the shoe's overall breathable feel.
Can I wear these shoes in wet or rainy weather?
While the rubber sole offers some traction, the leather upper is not inherently waterproof. Wearing them in heavy rain is not recommended as it can potentially damage the leather and reduce the shoe's lifespan. They are best suited for dry conditions.
What is the inspiration behind the New Balance 327 design?
The New Balance 327 draws inspiration from iconic New Balance running shoes from the 1970s, specifically blending elements from the 320 running shoe and the 355 trail shoe to create its distinctive retro-modern aesthetic.
Are there other color options or sizes available in the 327 series?
Yes, the New Balance 327 series is available in a wide range of colors, materials, and sizes, including options for adults and kids. This particular variant is 'Sea Salt' in UK size 6.5. You can explore other variants within the 327 series from authorized retailers.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable.
Ensure you have the correct size. New shoes might require a short break-in period. If discomfort persists, verify sizing or consult a footwear specialist.
Soles are slippery or losing grip.
Check the rubber sole for dirt or debris buildup and clean thoroughly. If the tread is significantly worn down, it may indicate natural wear and tear from extensive use.
Stains or discoloration on the 'Sea Salt' leather upper.
Address stains immediately. Use a high-quality leather cleaner suitable for white leather. Test the cleaner on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
Unpleasant odor developing inside the shoes.
Ensure shoes are fully aired out after each use. You can use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside overnight to absorb odors. Remove insoles to air them separately if needed.
