FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
No, while inspired by 70s running shoes, the 327 is intended for lifestyle and casual use, not for athletic training or long-distance running.
How do I clean the mesh portion of the shoe?
You can use a soft cloth with a mild soap and water solution to gently wipe the mesh, then allow it to air dry away from direct heat.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
It is not recommended to wash suede trainers in a machine, as it can damage the materials and compromise the shape of the shoe.
Does the sizing run true to size?
Most users find that the New Balance 327 runs true to standard sizing, but it is always best to refer to the UK sizing guide for your specific fit.
What is the best way to store the shoes?
Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading and maintain the integrity of the suede.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt or dust on the suede surface
Use a dry suede brush to gently remove loose debris in the direction of the nap.
Difficulty achieving a comfortable fit
Loosen the laces starting from the toe box and re-lace them to accommodate your specific foot width.
Outsole losing traction
Check the tread for debris or small stones and clean the rubber surface with a damp cloth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To get the best fit, ensure the laces are adjusted to your preference after initial wear, as the suede may soften slightly over time. Regarding care, because the upper contains suede, it is critical to avoid exposing the shoes to excessive moisture or mud. Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dust and dirt regularly. For deeper cleaning, utilize a dedicated suede cleaner and a specialized brush, working in small, gentle circles. It is recommended to apply a water-repellent spray formulated for suede before wearing them in public to protect the fabric from accidental spills.
