FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for running?

The New Balance 327 are primarily lifestyle trainers inspired by running shoes. While they offer comfort for walking and casual wear, they are not designed for intense athletic running and may lack the specific support features of dedicated running shoes.

How do I determine my correct UK size?

Refer to the New Balance sizing chart available online or in-store. Measure your foot length from heel to toe and compare it with the chart. The provided size is UK 9, but checking against a chart ensures the best fit.

Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?

The suede material is not inherently waterproof and can be easily damaged by excessive moisture. It is recommended to avoid wearing these trainers in heavy rain or wet conditions. Using a suede protector spray can offer some water resistance.

What is the primary material used in the upper?

The upper is constructed from a combination of premium suede and mesh, offering a balance of style, durability, and breathability.

What is the key difference from other New Balance models?

The 327 series is distinguished by its bold, retro-futuristic design, featuring a significantly oversized 'N' logo and a pronounced, extended rubber outsole that sets it apart from more traditional New Balance silhouettes.

Are there other colorways available?

Yes, the New Balance 327 series is available in various colorways and material combinations. This guide focuses on the 'Dark Earth Mushroom' brown and white suede variant.

Troubleshooting

Laces come undone easily

Ensure laces are tied securely with a double knot. Consider replacing laces with a material that offers better grip.

Slight discomfort due to the sole's shape

Wear the trainers for short periods initially to allow your feet to adjust to the unique sole design. Ensure you have the correct size; too small or too large can exacerbate discomfort.

Discoloration on suede material

Address stains promptly with a suede eraser or specialized suede cleaner. Protect the shoes with a suede protector spray before wear, especially in damp conditions.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Unique blend of vintage and modern design elements.
  • Comfortable for extended wear once accustomed to the sole.
  • High-quality suede and mesh materials.
  • Versatile style that pairs well with casual attire.
  • Durable construction for everyday use.

Cons

  • The chunky sole may require a short break-in period.
  • May not provide the targeted support needed for intense athletic activities.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The New Balance 327 trainers require no specific setup. They are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure you have selected the correct size for optimal comfort.

Compatibility: These trainers are designed for adult wear and are suitable for unisex styling. They pair well with a wide range of casual clothing, including jeans, shorts, joggers, and casual dresses.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning Suede: For suede areas, use a suede brush to remove dirt and restore the nap. For tougher stains, a specialized suede cleaner can be used sparingly. Always test in an inconspicuous area first.
  • Cleaning Mesh: Gently wipe mesh panels with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
  • Outsole: Clean the rubber outsole with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals that could degrade the rubber.
  • Drying: Allow trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources, as this can damage the materials.
