FAQs
Are New Balance 327 trainers suitable for running?
While inspired by New Balance's running shoe heritage from the 1970s, the 327 model is primarily designed for casual wear and lifestyle purposes. It offers excellent comfort for daily activities and light strolls but is not engineered for performance running or intense athletic training.
How do I clean the nylon and suede parts of my trainers?
For nylon, gently wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap. For suede, use a soft suede brush to remove loose dirt and restore the nap. For tougher stains, a specialized suede cleaner and eraser are recommended. Always air dry away from direct heat.
Are these trainers waterproof?
The New Balance 327, with its nylon and suede upper, is not waterproof. It is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or extremely wet conditions to protect the materials and maintain their appearance.
Do New Balance 327s fit true to size?
Generally, New Balance 327 trainers are known to fit true to size. This specific variant is a UK size 7.5. We recommend referring to New Balance's official sizing guide if you have any doubts, or trying them on if possible.
Can I put my New Balance 327 trainers in the washing machine?
No, it is strongly advised not to put your New Balance 327 trainers in a washing machine. The harsh detergents and agitation can damage the materials, adhesives, and overall structure of the shoe, potentially voiding any warranty.
What is the N logo made of?
The prominent 'N' logo on the side of the New Balance 327 is typically made from a durable synthetic material or leather, often in a contrasting color or texture to stand out against the main upper materials.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears matted or dirty.
Use a soft-bristled suede brush to gently brush the affected area in one direction to lift the nap. For more stubborn dirt, a specialized suede eraser or cleaner can be used sparingly.
Trainers feel less supportive over time.
Over extensive use, insoles can compress. Consider replacing the original insoles with aftermarket cushioned insoles for renewed comfort and support. If the sole itself is worn out, it might be time to replace the trainers.
Sole feels slippery on certain surfaces.
Check the outsole for any embedded debris (like small stones or mud) that might be reducing traction. Clean the grooves thoroughly. If the sole is worn smooth, it may indicate that the trainers have reached the end of their lifespan for optimal grip.
