FAQs
Are the New Balance 327 'Stellar Blue' true to size?
Sizing can vary slightly. It is recommended to check the New Balance size guide and consider trying them on if possible, or refer to customer reviews regarding fit.
What material is the upper made of?
The upper is constructed with a combination of materials, featuring leather accents and a breathable, multi-functional SuperComp upper for lightweight comfort.
Can I wear these shoes for running or athletic activities?
The 327 series is primarily designed for lifestyle and casual wear. While the outsole offers good traction, they are not intended as performance running shoes.
How should I clean the perforated 'N' logo?
Use a slightly damp cloth to gently wipe the 'N' logo. Avoid harsh scrubbing to prevent damage to the perforation.
Is this shoe suitable for wide feet?
The standard fit is generally considered medium. If you have wider feet, it's advisable to check specific fit notes or consider trying a half-size up, although this may affect overall fit.
What is the main inspiration behind the 327 series?
The 327 series is inspired by the classic New Balance 300 series and embraces 70s aesthetics, incorporating design elements like the 320 'N' logo and 355 outsole.
Troubleshooting
Initial stiffness or discomfort
Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow them to break in. Consider using thicker socks during the break-in phase.
Scuff marks on leather
Use a specialized leather cleaner and a soft cloth to gently remove scuff marks. For deeper scuffs, a leather repair kit might be necessary.
Slight color transfer to socks
This can sometimes occur with new, brightly colored footwear. Washing socks before first wear may help. Allow shoes to air out completely.
Uneven wear on outsole
Ensure you are wearing the correct size. If the issue persists, check for any irregularities in gait or walking pattern.
