FAQs
Are New Balance 327 trainers suitable for running?
No, these are categorized as lifestyle sneakers designed for casual, everyday wear rather than athletic performance or long-distance running.
How do these sneakers fit?
The New Balance 327 generally fits true to size. If you have wider feet, you may want to ensure the lacing is adjusted appropriately to maintain comfort.
Can I wash these in a washing machine?
It is not recommended. Machine washing can damage the suede material and affect the integrity of the shoe's adhesives.
What is the primary material used?
The upper is constructed from a blend of premium suede and breathable mesh.
Are these shoes unisex?
While some models are listed specifically for men, the 327 silhouette is popular across genders; always check the size guide to ensure the correct conversion for your fit.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt on suede panels
Use a dry suede brush or eraser to lift dirt away gently; do not use water.
Creasing at the toe box
Creasing is a natural characteristic of sneaker wear; use a shoe tree when not in use to help the shoe retain its shape.
Loss of traction
Check the lug outsole for trapped debris or pebbles that may affect grip; clear them using a blunt tool or brush.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 327 trainers last, consider the following care guidelines:
- Initial Protection: Apply a suede-safe water and stain repellent spray before first use to create a protective barrier.
- Routine Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove surface dirt from the suede and mesh panels. Avoid soaking the shoes in water.
- Stain Removal: For spot cleaning, use a specialized suede eraser or a damp cloth with a mild detergent, dabbing rather than scrubbing.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the colours from fading.
- Drying: If the sneakers get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Never place them in a clothes dryer, as the heat can damage the adhesives and distort the materials.
