FAQs
Are the New Balance 327W trainers true to size?
Yes, the 327W generally fits true to your standard UK shoe size.
Can these shoes be machine washed?
No, machine washing can damage the suede material and compromise the structural integrity of the shoe. Use only hand-cleaning methods.
Is this a running shoe?
While the design is inspired by 70s running heritage, the 327W is categorized as a lifestyle trainer and is not intended for professional sports or long-distance running.
How do I protect the suede from rain?
Use a high-quality suede protector spray to create a hydrophobic barrier before wearing the shoes in damp conditions.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The 327W has a moderate width; if you have particularly wide feet, you may find the fit snug due to the structured nature of the suede.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt or dust on the suede surface
Use a dry suede brush or a clean, soft toothbrush to gently buff the affected area in one direction.
Creasing in the upper material
This is natural for suede and leather footwear; using cedar shoe trees when not in use can help maintain the shape.
Sole grip is slippery on smooth surfaces
Ensure the lugged outsole is clean; if debris is stuck in the tread, use a dull plastic tool to remove trapped stones or mud.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For the best fit, ensure you select your standard UK size, as the 327W runs true to size. To maintain your trainers:
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dust and dirt from the suede surface.
- Stain Prevention: Apply a water-resistant spray specifically formulated for suede before wearing them outdoors.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the grey and beige dyes from fading.
- Moisture: If the shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper and allow them to air dry slowly; avoid direct heat sources like radiators which can stiffen the suede.
