FAQs
What is the primary inspiration for the New Balance 327 design?
The design is heavily inspired by iconic running shoe models from the 1970s, blended with modern aesthetic elements.
What material is the upper of these trainers made from?
The upper material for this specific variant is polyester.
Are these trainers suitable for running or athletic training?
While inspired by running shoes, the 327s are primarily designed for casual wear and may not offer the specialized support or cushioning needed for intense athletic activities.
How should I clean my New Balance 327 trainers?
Gently wipe the upper with a damp cloth. Clean the sole with a soft brush or mild soap solution. Always air dry and avoid heat sources.
What type of heel do these trainers have?
The New Balance 327 trainers feature a flat heel.
How do I ensure I get the right size?
It is recommended to consult the official New Balance size guide for accurate measurements. Trying them on is the best way to confirm fit.
Can these trainers be worn in wet weather?
The polyester upper offers some basic protection, but these trainers are not waterproof. They are best suited for dry or mildly damp conditions.
Troubleshooting
Sizing feels incorrect
Refer to the New Balance size chart for accurate measurements. Consider trying on different sizes if possible, as fit can vary between styles and materials.
Color transfer from shoes
Ensure socks are colorfast. If the issue persists, consider a protective spray designed for footwear, testing on an inconspicuous area first.
Material feels stiff
Wear the shoes for short periods initially to break them in. The polyester material will typically soften with gentle wear.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The New Balance 327 trainers require no specific setup; they are ready to wear out of the box.
Compatibility: These trainers are designed for general casual wear and are compatible with a wide range of casual outfits, including jeans, shorts, skirts, and casual dresses.
Care:
- Cleaning the Upper: Gently wipe the polyester upper with a slightly damp cloth to remove dirt and dust. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Cleaning the Sole: Use a soft brush or an old toothbrush to clean the midsole and outsole. For tougher marks, a mild soap solution can be applied with a cloth, followed by wiping with a clean, damp cloth.
- Drying: Allow the trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can damage the materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, ideally in their original box or a shoe bag to maintain their shape and protect them from dust.
