FAQs
Are New Balance 327W trainers true to size?
Most users find the 327 fits true to size, but since sizing can vary by foot width, it is recommended to reference the standard UK size guide.
Can I put these trainers in the washing machine?
No, it is not recommended to machine wash suede trainers as it can damage the texture, colour, and structure of the shoe.
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While inspired by 1970s running shoes, the 327 is designed as a lifestyle trainer and is not recommended for dedicated long-distance athletic training.
How do I protect the suede from water?
Using a high-quality suede-safe water repellent spray can provide an extra layer of protection against light moisture.
What is the primary material of the upper?
The New Balance 327W features a suede upper, providing a premium feel and durable exterior.

Suede looks dull or matted
Use a suede brush to lift the nap of the material and remove fine dust.
Visible surface dirt on the upper
Gently dab with a soft, dry cloth or use a specialist suede eraser for targeted stains.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To get the best from your New Balance 327W trainers, ensure you select the correct UK sizing to prevent heel slippage or toe crowding. Because the upper is crafted from suede, avoid wearing these shoes in heavy rain or deep mud to prevent staining. For care, use a dedicated suede brush to gently remove surface dust and dirt. If the shoes become damp, air-dry them naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, as high temperatures can warp the materials or cause the adhesive to lose integrity.
