FAQs

What is the primary material used in the New Balance 327 trainers?

The trainers feature a combination of premium suede and mesh for the upper.

Are these trainers suitable for running?

While inspired by running shoes, they are best suited for casual wear and light activities due to their design focus on style and comfort rather than high-performance athletic support.

How should I clean the suede parts of the trainers?

Use a dedicated suede brush for routine cleaning and a suede cleaner for stains. Always ensure the shoes are dry and test cleaning products on a small area first.

What does the '327' series signify?

The 327 series represents a modern interpretation of New Balance's heritage, specifically drawing inspiration from running shoe designs of the 1970s.

Do these trainers come in other colors?

Yes, the New Balance 327 series is available in various colorways, including other brown and white options, as well as different color families.

What is the fit like for these trainers?

The fit is generally considered standard, but some users with wider feet may find them to be on the narrower side. Trying them on or checking size guides is recommended.

Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?

It is not recommended to wear suede trainers in wet weather, as moisture can damage the material and potentially lead to color transfer.

Troubleshooting

Suede looks dirty or matted

Use a specialized suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, consult a suede cleaner and test on an inconspicuous area first.

Laces are difficult to keep tied

Ensure laces are threaded correctly through the eyelets. Consider double-knotting or replacing laces with a material that offers better grip.

Discomfort after initial wear

Allow a break-in period of a few wears. If discomfort persists, ensure you have the correct size and consider using insoles for added cushioning or support.

Color transfer from suede

This can occasionally happen with suede. Ensure the shoes are dry before wearing and consider using a suede protector spray. Avoid wearing in wet conditions or with light-colored socks until the color is stable.
