FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for athletic running?

The New Balance 327 is inspired by heritage running shoes and offers comfort for everyday wear and light activity, but they are not designed for high-performance athletic running or competitive sports.

How should I clean the suede parts of my New Balance 327s?

For suede, use a dry suede brush to remove loose dirt. For stains, a suede eraser or a small amount of specialized suede cleaner applied with a soft cloth can be used sparingly. Always allow to air dry.

Do New Balance 327s fit true to size?

Generally, New Balance 327s are reported to fit true to size for most individuals. However, fit can vary, so it's recommended to consult a size guide if unsure.

What are the main materials used in the upper?

The upper of the New Balance 327 - Black - UK 8 is crafted from a combination of breathable, lightweight nylon and suede.

Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?

While the durable rubber outsole offers good traction, the nylon and especially the suede upper are not fully waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain should be avoided, and consider a protective spray for light moisture.

What is the "N" logo made of?

The iconic oversized "N" logo on the side of the New Balance 327 is typically made from a synthetic leather or similar material, providing a distinct contrast and texture.

Troubleshooting

Squeaking sound when walking.

Check for debris lodged in the outsole grooves. If the squeak persists, it might be due to moisture inside the shoe; allow them to air dry thoroughly.

Shoes feel less cushioned over time.

The lifespan of cushioning can vary. Ensure the shoes are primarily used for their intended casual purpose. Replace if cushioning is significantly degraded.

Suede appears matted or dirty.

Use a soft suede brush to restore the nap. For dirt, use a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner following product instructions.

Care

  2. Suede Cleaning: For suede areas, use a dedicated suede brush to remove loose dirt. For tougher spots, a suede eraser can be used. Avoid excessive water, as it can stain or damage suede.
  3. Drying: Always allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can damage materials.
  4. Protection: Consider applying a water and stain repellent spray specifically designed for suede and textile shoes to help protect them from elements.
  5. Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
