FAQs
What material is the New Balance 327 made of?
The New Balance 327 trainers feature a suede upper with textile or synthetic accents, depending on the specific colorway. This model (U327WRL) is specified with a suede upper.
How do I clean the suede material on these trainers?
To clean the suede, use a suede brush for dry dirt. For tougher stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and a slightly damp cloth. Always test cleaners on a small, hidden area first and avoid excessive moisture.
Are these trainers suitable for running or sports?
The New Balance 327 trainers are primarily designed for casual wear and lifestyle purposes. While they offer comfort and support for walking, they are not recommended for high-impact sports or serious running due to their design focus on style and everyday comfort.
What is the sizing like for the New Balance 327?
The sizing for New Balance trainers is generally considered true to size for most users. However, individual fit can vary. It is recommended to refer to New Balance's official size charts and consider your foot width.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
While the suede offers some protection, it is not waterproof. Wearing these trainers in heavy rain or wet conditions is not recommended, as it can damage the suede and affect the shoe's appearance and longevity. Consider applying a water-repellent spray specifically designed for suede.
What does the '327' in the product name signify?
The '327' designation refers to a specific model line from New Balance that is inspired by running shoe designs from the 1970s. It represents a blend of heritage and modern innovation.
How should I store my New Balance 327 trainers when not in use?
To maintain their condition, store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using a shoe tree or keeping them in their original box can help preserve their shape and protect them from dust.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dirty or stained.
Gently brush away dry dirt with a suede brush. For stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner and a lightly damp cloth. Test any cleaning product on an inconspicuous area first.
Trainer feels uncomfortable after prolonged wear.
Ensure you have the correct size and width. The suede may need a short break-in period. Consider using insoles for added cushioning if needed.
Laces are difficult to keep tied.
Try a double knot when tying your laces. Ensure the laces are not excessively worn or frayed, as this can affect their ability to stay tied.
Color seems to be fading.
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. Store the trainers in a dark, cool place. Consider using a suede protector spray with UV inhibitors.
