FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for sports?
The New Balance 327 trainers are primarily designed for casual wear and fashion. While they offer comfort and decent traction for everyday activities, they may not provide the specialized support or cushioning required for intense athletic training or sports.
How do I clean the suede and nylon parts?
For suede and nylon, use a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth to remove surface dirt. Specialized suede cleaners and brushes are recommended for tougher stains. Avoid soaking the shoes in water.
What is the main design inspiration for the 327 series?
The 327 series draws inspiration from iconic New Balance designs of the 1970s, blending retro aesthetics with modern styling and comfort.
Are these trainers true to size?
Generally, New Balance trainers are designed to fit true to size. However, fit can vary slightly between individuals. It's recommended to consult the brand's sizing chart and consider trying them on if possible.
Can these trainers be worn in wet weather?
While the synthetic sole offers some protection, the suede and nylon upper are not waterproof. They are best suited for dry or mildly damp conditions. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain may damage the materials.
What makes the sole design unique?
The sole features a synthetic ridged design that provides a firm footing and grip, characteristic of the 327's heritage-inspired yet modern aesthetic.
Troubleshooting
Laces not staying tied
Ensure laces are tied securely with a double knot. Consider replacing laces with a textured pair that offers more grip.
Discoloration on suede material
Use a specialized suede cleaner and a suede brush to gently remove stains. Test cleaning solutions on a small, hidden area first.
Sole losing grip
Clean the sole with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris that might be affecting traction. If wear is significant, consider replacing the shoes.
General dirt and grime
Wipe down the trainers with a slightly damp cloth. For tougher spots, use a soft brush with mild soap and water, then wipe clean.
