FAQs
What material are the New Balance 327 Trainers made of?
These trainers are primarily crafted from quality leather, featuring a rubber lug outsole.
Are these trainers suitable for running?
While comfortable for walking, the 327 trainers are designed for lifestyle wear and retro styling, not for high-performance athletic activities like running.
How do I choose the correct size?
Refer to the sizing guide and measure your foot. Given they are unisex, consider that UK men's and women's sizing can differ.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
The leather upper offers some protection, but they are not waterproof. Avoid wearing them in heavy rain to preserve the material.
How should I clean the leather part of the trainers?
Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt. For tougher stains, a dedicated leather cleaner can be used sparingly. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
What is the main design inspiration for the 327 series?
The 327 series draws inspiration from heritage New Balance running shoes, combining retro elements with modern design cues like the angular silhouette and lug outsole.
Do these trainers come in other colours?
Yes, the New Balance 327 series is available in various colourways and material combinations, including linen options.
Troubleshooting
Initial stiffness
New leather can feel stiff. Wear the trainers for short periods initially to allow them to break in and conform to your foot.
Squeaking sound
This can sometimes occur with new footwear. Check for any loose laces or insoles. If the squeak persists, it may resolve with wear.
Discoloration from colour transfer
Ensure socks are colourfast. If the shoes get wet, allow them to dry completely before wearing to minimize the risk of colour transfer.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These trainers require no specific setup; they are ready to wear out of the box. They are compatible with standard sock wear. To maintain their appearance and longevity:
- Cleaning: Gently wipe the leather upper with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or soaking the shoes. For the outsole, use a brush to remove dirt.
- Drying: Air dry the trainers away from direct heat sources if they become wet.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag to protect the material.
