FAQs
How do I clean my New Balance 327 leather trainers?
For general cleaning, wipe the leather with a soft, damp cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a dedicated leather shoe cleaner according to its instructions. Avoid harsh chemicals or submerging the shoes in water. Always air dry away from direct heat.
Are these trainers suitable for running or sports?
While the 327s draw inspiration from New Balance's running heritage, they are primarily designed as lifestyle trainers for casual wear and fashion. They are not engineered for high-performance running or intense athletic sports.
What is the fit like for the New Balance 327?
The New Balance 327 generally offers a comfortable fit for everyday use. Customers often find them true to size. However, fit can vary by individual foot shape. Adjusting the laces can help customize the fit.
What materials are used in these trainers?
This specific variant of the New Balance 327 Trainers features a premium leather upper with other synthetic and textile components, and a rubber outsole.
Can I wear these trainers in all weather conditions?
The leather upper provides some protection, but these trainers are not fully waterproof. While suitable for everyday wear in dry conditions, prolonged exposure to heavy rain or wet environments should be avoided to preserve the leather. Consider a water-resistant spray for added protection.
Does the oversized 'N' branding peel off?
The oversized 'N' branding is securely attached and designed to be durable. With proper care and avoidance of harsh abrasives, it should not peel off under normal use.
Is the outsole durable?
Yes, the New Balance 327 features a robust, wraparound rubber lug outsole designed for durability and traction in urban environments. Regular cleaning helps maintain its integrity.
Troubleshooting
Trainers feel too tight or loose
Adjust the lacing system. Try different lacing patterns to achieve a more custom fit. If still uncomfortable, ensure you have the correct size for your foot.
Leather appears dull or scuffed
Clean the leather with a soft, damp cloth, then apply a small amount of quality leather conditioner or polish formulated for trainers. Buff gently with a clean cloth.
Outsole collecting dirt/mud
Clean the lug outsole regularly with a stiff brush or old toothbrush and water to remove accumulated dirt and maintain traction. Allow to air dry completely.

Care
Given the leather material, proper care is crucial to maintain their appearance and longevity:
- Regular Cleaning: Wipe down the leather surfaces with a soft, damp cloth regularly to remove dust and light dirt.
- Spot Cleaning: For tougher marks, use a specialized leather cleaner applied with a soft cloth. Follow the cleaner's instructions carefully.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use abrasive cleaners, bleach, or harsh detergents, as these can damage the leather.
- Drying: If wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can cause cracking.
- Protection: Consider applying a leather protector spray to guard against water and stains.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
