FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
While inspired by 1970s running shoes, the New Balance 327 are primarily designed for casual wear and lifestyle. They offer comfort for walking but lack the advanced features of modern running shoes for high-impact activities.
How do I clean the suede parts of the trainers?
Use a dedicated suede brush to remove dirt. For tougher stains, a slightly damp cloth with minimal water and a mild cleaner can be used cautiously. Always allow suede to air dry naturally.
What is the main benefit of the chunky rubber outsole?
The chunky rubber outsole provides enhanced traction and stability on various surfaces, along with contributing to the shoe's distinctive, modern aesthetic.
What does the '327' in the product name signify?
The '327' designation is a model number specific to New Balance, representing a particular design and era of their footwear innovation, blending heritage elements with contemporary styling.
Are these trainers true to size?
Generally, New Balance 327 trainers are considered true to size. However, individual fit can vary. Trying them on or referring to size charts is recommended.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
The suede material is not ideal for very wet conditions, as it can stain or be damaged. While the rubber outsole offers some grip, these trainers are best worn in dry or mildly damp conditions.
What other colours or sizes are available?
The New Balance 327 series comes in various colourways and sizes. Please check the product listings or New Balance's official website for the full range of options.
Troubleshooting
Squeaking sound when walking
This can sometimes occur due to new materials. Try wearing them for a while to break them in. Ensure insoles are properly seated.
Discomfort after initial wear
The unique sole shape may require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time.
Laces fraying or breaking
Replace with standard shoelaces. Consider waxing laces for increased durability.
Suede appears discoloured or stained
Consult a specialized suede cleaner. For minor issues, a suede brush can often restore the texture and colour.
