Troubleshooting
Sizing feels too tight or too loose
Refer to the New Balance sizing chart for accurate measurements. Consider the specific fit of the 327 series, which may differ slightly from other models. If possible, try on a pair before purchasing or check the return policy if ordering online.
Discomfort after initial wear
New shoes, especially those with retro designs, can require a break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time. Ensure socks are appropriate for the shoe's fit.
Scuffs or dirt on suede or mesh materials
Use a dedicated suede brush or eraser for suede components. For mesh or other synthetic materials, a damp cloth with mild soap is usually effective. Always test cleaning solutions on an inconspicuous area first.
Traction feels insufficient on certain surfaces
The outsole is designed for general use. For extremely slippery conditions, exercise caution. Ensure the outsole is free of debris that might affect grip.
