FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
While the New Balance 327 is inspired by New Balance's running heritage, it is primarily designed as a lifestyle and casual shoe, not for high-performance running or rigorous athletic training.
How do I clean the leather upper?
For light dirt, wipe with a soft, damp cloth. For more stubborn marks, use a specialized leather cleaner designed for footwear, following the product's instructions. Always allow to air dry naturally.
Can I wear these trainers in the rain?
The leather upper offers some resistance to light moisture, but these trainers are not fully waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain should be avoided to protect the leather. Consider applying a leather protector spray for added resistance.
What size should I choose?
The New Balance 327 comes in standard UK adult female sizing. It's recommended to try them on to ensure the best fit, especially considering personal preference for toe room and width.
How do I prevent creasing in the leather?
Creasing is normal for leather. To minimize it, ensure you have the correct fit, and consider using shoe trees when not wearing the trainers to help maintain their original shape.
Are the insoles removable?
Info needed: Please check the product directly, as insole removability can vary by specific model and production run.
Troubleshooting
My leather trainers are creasing.
Creasing is a natural characteristic of leather footwear. To minimize it, ensure you have the correct size. Using shoe trees when not wearing them can also help maintain the shoe's shape and reduce excessive creasing.
The trainers feel stiff.
New leather shoes may feel stiff initially. Wear them for short periods at first to 'break them in.' The leather will soften and conform to your foot over time.
The trainers have developed an odor.
Ensure your trainers air out after each wear. Remove insoles to allow them to dry separately. You can also use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes overnight to absorb odors.
Scuffs or marks appeared on the leather.
For light scuffs, a soft, damp cloth might suffice. For deeper marks, use a specialized leather cleaner or conditioner designed for footwear. Test any product on an inconspicuous area first.
Trainers feel too tight.
Verify you have the correct size. If they feel tight, especially across the width, consider wearing them with thinner socks initially or gradually breaking them in. If they remain uncomfortably tight, the size may be incorrect.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Setting up your New Balance 327 trainers is straightforward:
- Unboxing: Carefully remove the trainers from their packaging.
- Initial Inspection: Check for any manufacturing defects or transit damage.
- Try On: Wear them with the type of socks you typically use. Walk around to ensure a comfortable fit. Pay attention to the toe box and heel.
- Lacing: Adjust the laces to achieve a secure yet comfortable fit. Avoid lacing too tightly, which can restrict circulation.
Compatibility
These trainers are designed for versatile wardrobe integration:
- Apparel: They pair well with various casual clothing, including jeans, joggers, shorts, casual trousers, and skirts.
- Activities: Best suited for casual walking, daily wear, and social activities. Not recommended for intense sports or professional athletic training.
- Surfaces: The trail-inspired lug outsole provides reasonable grip on various urban surfaces, but exercise caution on extremely slick or uneven terrain.
Care
Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your leather New Balance 327 trainers:
- General Cleaning: For light dirt, wipe the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Deep Cleaning (Leather): For stubborn marks, use a specialized leather cleaner applied with a soft cloth. Follow the product's instructions carefully.
- Protecting Leather: Consider applying a leather protector spray before first wear and periodically thereafter to help repel water and stains.
- Sole Cleaning: Clean the outsole and midsole with a soft brush and mild soap solution. Rinse thoroughly and air dry.
- Drying: Always allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight. Stuff with paper towels to absorb moisture and maintain shape.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees can help maintain the shoe's shape and prevent creasing.
- Avoid Submerging: Do not machine wash or submerge the entire shoe in water, especially due to the leather material.
