FAQs
Are the New Balance 327 trainers suitable for running?
While inspired by running shoes, the 327s are best suited for casual wear and light activities. They offer comfort and style but lack the specialized support and cushioning of modern performance running shoes.
How do I clean the suede upper?
Use a dedicated suede brush to remove dry dirt. For stains, use a suede cleaner and a soft cloth, dabbing gently. Avoid soaking the material and allow it to air dry completely away from heat.
What is the primary material of the upper?
The upper is constructed from a combination of premium suede and breathable mesh.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
It is advisable to avoid wearing suede trainers in heavy rain. Applying a suede protector spray can offer some water resistance, but the material is not fully waterproof.
What does the '327' in the name refer to?
The '327' designation is part of New Balance's numbering system for its footwear, representing a specific model that blends historical design elements with contemporary features.
Are there other color options available?
Yes, the New Balance 327 series is available in various colorways. This guide focuses on the 'Dark Earth Mushroom' variant.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks dirty or stained
Use a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaning kit. For light dirt, a dry suede brush may suffice. Always test cleaning solutions on an inconspicuous area first.
Laces come undone frequently
Consider using a double knot when tying your laces, or replace the laces with a type that offers better grip, such as those with a textured surface.
Discomfort after wearing
Ensure you have the correct size. Try wearing them with appropriate socks. If the discomfort persists, break them in gradually with shorter periods of wear.
Reduced grip on the outsole
Clean the outsole with a damp cloth to remove any accumulated dirt or debris that may be reducing traction.
