FAQs
Are the New Balance 327s suitable for running?
While inspired by 1970s running shoe heritage, the New Balance 327 is primarily designed as a lifestyle and fashion sneaker. It offers comfort for everyday wear and walking, but it is not engineered for high-performance athletic running by modern standards.
How do I clean my New Balance 327 shoes?
For suede areas, use a suede brush and eraser. For mesh, use a mild soap and water solution with a soft brush, then wipe with a damp cloth. Always air dry away from direct heat. Avoid soaking the shoes or using harsh chemicals.
Do these shoes run true to size?
New Balance sizing can be consistent for many, but fit can vary by individual foot shape. We recommend selecting your usual UK shoe size for New Balance or referring to a detailed sizing chart if you are unsure. Trying them on is always the best way to ensure comfort.
What materials are used in the New Balance 327 Green?
The New Balance 327 (U327LX) in Green features a combination of premium suede and breathable mesh in its upper construction, providing both comfort and distinctive style.
Can I wear these shoes in rainy weather?
Due to the suede and mesh construction, these shoes are not fully waterproof and are not ideal for heavy rain. Suede can be particularly susceptible to water damage and staining. Consider using a protective spray to enhance water resistance in light conditions.
What makes the New Balance 327 design unique?
The 327 stands out with its bold reinterpretation of 70s running aesthetics, featuring an angular wedge silhouette, an oversized and asymmetrically applied 'N' logo, and a distinctive wraparound, trail-inspired lug outsole, creating a truly contemporary look.
Troubleshooting
Suede sections appear dirty or scuffed.
Use a specialized suede brush to gently remove surface dirt. For deeper scuffs, a suede eraser can be effective. Avoid harsh scrubbing or water.
Shoes feel uncomfortable or rub.
Ensure you have the correct size. If new, the shoes might require a short break-in period. Try different types of socks (e.g., thicker or thinner) to adjust the fit.
Outsole grip seems reduced.
Regularly clean the lug outsole with a brush to remove embedded dirt, mud, or small stones that can affect traction. Ensure the sole is dry before wear.
Mesh material is discolored or stained.
Gently clean the mesh with a mild soap and water solution using a soft brush or cloth. Rinse thoroughly with a damp cloth and air dry completely.
Green color appears to be fading.
Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Sunlight can cause color degradation over time. Consider using a UV-protective spray for shoes.

Care
The combination of suede and mesh materials requires specific attention to maintain their appearance and longevity.
- Cleaning Suede: Use a specialized suede brush to gently remove loose dirt and debris. For tougher scuffs or stains, a suede eraser can be gently applied. Avoid using water directly on suede, as it can cause staining or damage.
- Cleaning Mesh: For the mesh sections, prepare a mild soap and water solution. Use a soft brush or cloth to gently scrub the mesh. Afterwards, wipe clean with a damp cloth.
- Drying: Always air dry your shoes at room temperature, away from direct heat sources (like radiators) or prolonged direct sunlight. This prevents material damage, shrinking, or color fading.
- Protection: Consider applying a quality suede and fabric protector spray. This can help repel water and stains, offering an extra layer of defense and extending the shoe's pristine condition.
- Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees can help maintain their original shape and absorb excess moisture.
