Troubleshooting

Squeaking sound during walking

This can sometimes occur with new shoes. Try to identify if the squeak is coming from the sole, insole, or laces. If it's the sole, ensure it's clean and dry. If it's the insole, try removing and reinserting it. Powdering the insole lightly with talcum powder can sometimes help.

Laces becoming worn or frayed

Replace worn laces with new ones of a similar length and material. New Balance offers replacement laces, or you can find suitable alternatives at most shoe retailers.

Discoloration on leather or synthetic parts

Ensure you are using appropriate cleaning methods. For discoloration due to sun exposure, store the shoes away from direct light. For stains, consult a professional shoe cleaner or use a specialized leather cleaner cautiously.

Gum outsole scuffing easily

The gum outsole is designed for grip but can scuff on rough surfaces. Regular cleaning can help minimize the appearance of scuffs. For significant damage, consult a cobbler for repair options.

Care: To maintain the condition of your New Balance 327 trainers:

  1. Cleaning the Upper: Gently wipe the leather and synthetic surfaces with a slightly damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush, then wipe clean with a damp cloth. Avoid excessive water.
  2. Cleaning the Midsole and Outsole: Use a damp cloth or a soft brush to remove dirt from the midsole and gum outsole. For tougher stains on the midsole, a specialized shoe cleaner can be used sparingly.
  3. Laces: Remove laces and hand wash them with mild detergent, then air dry.
  4. Drying: Always air dry your trainers at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as this can damage the materials.
  5. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag or the original box to protect them from dust and sunlight.
