FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The New Balance 327 is designed primarily as a lifestyle trainer. While they feature retro running aesthetics, they lack the high-tech cushioning systems found in modern dedicated running shoes.
What is the best way to clean the red accents?
If the red accents are also leather, treat them with the same leather cleaner as the brown sections. If they are synthetic, a mild soapy water solution on a cloth works well.
How do I ensure I have the right size?
The model provided is a UK size 9. We recommend measuring your feet in the afternoon when they are at their largest to ensure a comfortable fit.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the insoles are generally removable, allowing you to insert orthotic insoles if you require additional arch support.
Are these shoes waterproof?
While leather is naturally water-resistant, they are not waterproof. Use a protective spray to increase resistance to light moisture.
Troubleshooting
Creasing in the leather toe area
This is common with high-quality leather. Use shoe trees when not wearing to help maintain the shape.
Surface stains on the brown leather
Use a soft brush and a dedicated leather cleaning solution. Avoid soaking the leather in water.
Sneakers feel stiff initially
Leather requires a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations indoors initially to soften the material.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 327 trainers last, consider these maintenance tips:
- Cleaning: Wipe the leather surface with a soft, dry cloth to remove loose dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized leather cleaner applied with a damp cloth.
- Moisture Protection: Apply a leather-safe water and stain repellent spray to protect the brown finish from unexpected rain.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the leather from cracking or the red accents from fading.
- Fitment: These are UK size 9; ensure you are wearing appropriate athletic socks for the best fit during the break-in period.
