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.
