FAQs

Are New Balance 327 shoes suitable for running?

While inspired by New Balance's running heritage, the 327 is designed as a lifestyle shoe. It is intended for casual wear, style, and everyday comfort, not for athletic performance or serious running.

How do I protect my suede New Balance 327s from water?

Suede is not naturally waterproof. It is highly recommended to apply a high-quality suede and nubuck protector spray before the first wear and reapply periodically. Avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions whenever possible.

What is the best way to clean the brown suede upper?

For routine cleaning, use a dedicated suede brush to remove loose dirt and restore the nap. For stains, use a specialized suede cleaner or eraser, always testing on an inconspicuous area first. Never put suede shoes in a washing machine.

Do New Balance 327 shoes fit true to size?

Generally, the New Balance 327 fits true to size for most individuals. However, fit can vary slightly depending on foot shape. If possible, try them on, or consult New Balance's official sizing charts.

Can I wear these shoes in winter or cold weather?

While they offer some warmth, the suede material is not ideal for wet, slushy, or snowy conditions, as moisture can damage it. They are best suited for dry, cool weather or mild winters.

What kind of socks should I wear with these shoes?

The New Balance 327 pairs well with various sock styles, from no-show socks for a sleek look to athletic or casual crew socks, depending on your outfit and personal preference. Choose moisture-wicking socks for best comfort.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears matted or dirty

Use a soft-bristled suede brush to gently brush the nap in one direction. For persistent dirt, use a specialized suede eraser or cleaner following product instructions.

Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable initially

Wear your shoes for short periods to break them in. Ensure laces are tied correctly to provide a snug yet comfortable fit without being too tight.

Suede color looks faded

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. For minor fading, a suede color restorer specifically designed for brown suede can be used, following product directions carefully.

Shoes have an odor

Allow shoes to air out after each wear. Use shoe deodorizers or place baking soda in socks inside the shoes overnight to absorb odors. Ensure shoes are completely dry before storing.
