FAQs
Are the New Balance 327 trainers suitable for marathon running?
The 327 trainers are designed for recreational running and casual wear. For marathon distances or high-intensity training, dedicated performance running shoes with more advanced cushioning and support would be more appropriate.
How do I determine the right size?
Refer to the New Balance sizing chart and measure your foot. It is recommended to try them on if possible, as fit can vary. The 'UK 3' listed is a specific size for this variant.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the suede, adhesives, and overall structure of the shoe.
What is the primary material used?
The primary material for the upper is suede, combined with other textiles for breathability and structure.
How does the 'N' branding affect the shoe?
The oversized, asymmetrically applied 'N' branding is a key design element that contributes to the shoe's bold, vintage-inspired aesthetic.
What is the benefit of the trail-inspired lug outsole?
The lug outsole provides enhanced traction and grip on various surfaces, adding a distinctive visual element and contributing to the shoe's reimagined heritage look.
Are these trainers waterproof?
No, the trainers are not waterproof. The suede and textile upper are breathable but will absorb water if exposed to heavy rain or submersion.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure you have selected the correct size. If they are new, they may require a short break-in period. Loosening the laces can also provide immediate comfort.
Suede is getting dirty or stained
Use a suede brush to clean off dry dirt. For stains, refer to specific suede cleaning products and methods, testing on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid exposing suede to excessive moisture.
Outsole grip seems reduced
Clean the outsole treads by removing any embedded debris. The lug design is optimized for dry to moderately wet surfaces; performance may vary on very slick or icy conditions.
Discoloration on materials
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or harsh chemicals. Clean gently with appropriate cleaners for each material type.
