FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

No, the New Balance 327 is a lifestyle trainer designed for casual, everyday wear rather than performance running.

How do I ensure the right fit?

This model follows standard UK sizing. If you typically wear a UK 8.5, these should provide a consistent, comfortable fit.

Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?

It is highly recommended not to machine wash these shoes, as water and detergent can damage the leather and suede materials.

Is the material waterproof?

The leather and suede used are not inherently waterproof. Applying a protective spray can help resist light water exposure.

What is the primary material used?

This version of the 327 is primarily constructed with leather, offering a blend of durability and premium style.

Troubleshooting

Creasing in the leather toe box

Use shoe trees when not in use to help the leather maintain its shape and minimize deep creases.

Difficulty cleaning suede components

Use a specialized suede eraser or a soft suede brush to lift dirt without damaging the texture.

Soles becoming slippery

Wipe the outsole with a damp cloth to remove grit or debris that may interfere with surface grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Because the New Balance 327 features premium materials like leather and suede, proper care is essential.

Care Instructions:

  1. Routine Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove surface dust and dirt after each wear.
  2. Stain Removal: For stubborn marks on leather, use a slightly damp cloth with a mild leather cleaner; avoid soaking the material.
  3. Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the colors from fading.
  4. Protection: Consider using a water-repellent spray specifically designed for leather and suede to protect against unexpected spills or rain.

Compatibility:

  • Fits true to size, but verify your UK size (this specific model is UK 8.5) before purchase to ensure optimal comfort.
