FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
While inspired by running shoes, the New Balance 327 are primarily designed for casual wear and lifestyle. They offer comfort for walking but are not recommended for rigorous athletic training.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Refer to the sizing chart provided by New Balance or the retailer. Measure your foot length and compare it with the UK sizing. The 'Dark Earth Mushroom' model is available in UK size 8.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the suede, mesh, and adhesives, potentially altering the shoe's shape and integrity.
What other colors or sizes are available?
The New Balance 327 series comes in various colorways and a wide range of sizes. Please check the product listings for available options, as this guide focuses on the 'Dark Earth Mushroom' variant.
Is the suede material waterproof?
The suede is not inherently waterproof. It is susceptible to water damage and staining. Applying a suede protector spray can offer some water resistance.
What is the primary material used in the upper?
The upper is a combination of premium suede and breathable mesh.
How does the 'Dark Earth Mushroom' colorway look?
This colorway features earthy brown tones on the suede and mesh upper, contrasted with a prominent white 'N' logo and a white midsole accent.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dirty or stained.
Use a suede eraser for dry marks or a specialized suede cleaner. For tougher stains, a damp cloth might work, but test in an inconspicuous area first. Always allow to air dry.
Laces are worn or dirty.
Replace laces with a new pair of suitable length and color. Many shoe care retailers offer replacement laces.
Discomfort during initial wear.
New shoes often require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time. Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks.
Sole feels slippery on certain surfaces.
Ensure the outsole is clean and free from debris. The rubber compound is designed for grip, but extreme conditions or polished surfaces may reduce traction.
