FAQs
Are the New Balance 327W trainers waterproof?
No, they are made from suede, which is porous and not waterproof. It is best to avoid wearing them in wet conditions.
Are these shoes suitable for long-distance running?
No, these are lifestyle trainers. While they feature design elements from vintage running shoes, they lack the technical cushioning and support required for long-distance running.
How should I clean the suede panels?
Use a dry, soft-bristled brush to remove loose dirt. Avoid using water or harsh detergents, as they can cause permanent water spots.
Do these sneakers run true to size?
Yes, the New Balance 327 series generally fits true to size, providing a comfortable, standard fit for most adults.
Can I replace the insoles?
The insoles are generally removable, allowing you to swap them for custom orthotics if required for additional comfort.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt on suede upper
Use a dry suede brush to gently lift dirt particles in a consistent motion.
Creasing at the toe box
Insert shoe trees when not in use to help maintain the original structure and minimize creasing.
Suede feels stiff after cleaning
Use a clean, soft brush to agitate the nap of the suede once dry to restore its soft texture.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your New Balance 327W trainers, avoid machine washing or drying, as this can damage the suede panels and distort the shoe shape. For regular maintenance, use a soft-bristled brush to remove surface dust. If the shoes become wet, air dry them naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators. For stubborn marks, use a specialized suede eraser or a dedicated suede cleaning kit. The shoes are true to size; however, we recommend wearing medium-thickness socks to ensure a proper fit throughout the day.
