FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, the New Balance 327 generally fits true to standard UK adult sizing.
Can I run in these trainers?
The 327 is a lifestyle sneaker designed for casual walking and daily wear, not for long-distance running or high-impact athletic activities.
How do I prevent the white leather from yellowing?
Store your shoes in a dark, dry environment. Direct sunlight and high humidity can cause the leather and materials to yellow over time.
What is the best way to clean the outsoles?
Use a soft-bristled brush dipped in a mixture of mild soap and water to scrub the rubber tread, then wipe dry with a towel.
Are the insoles removable?
Yes, most New Balance 327 models feature a removable insole, allowing you to insert your own orthotics if preferred.
Troubleshooting
The shoe feels too tight across the top of the foot
Try adjusting the lacing technique to a 'window lacing' style to relieve pressure points on the bridge of your foot.
Creasing appearing on the leather upper
Leather creasing is normal with wear. Use a shoe tree when not wearing the shoes to help maintain their original shape.
Surface scuffs on the white leather
Use a specialized leather eraser or a small amount of white leather polish to gently buff out minor surface scuffs.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these are laced trainers, the setup is straightforward: loosen the laces before sliding your foot in to ensure the tongue is positioned correctly for a comfortable fit. For compatibility, the UK 8.5 sizing is designed to standard adult specifications. To care for your leather 327s, wipe them down with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt after each wear. For deeper stains, use a specialized leather cleaner applied to a clean cloth rather than applying liquids directly to the shoe. Avoid machine washing or drying, as these can compromise the leather and the shoe's structural integrity. Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading.
