What is the main material of the upper?
This specific variant of the New Balance 327 features a durable nylon upper, complemented by synthetic overlays.

How do I clean the trainers if they get mud on them?
For mud, let it dry first, then gently brush off loose dirt. After that, use a damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap to wipe down the affected areas. Air dry completely.
Troubleshooting
Trainers feel too tight or loose.
Ensure you have the correct size. Check the lacing – adjust laces to be snug but not restrictive. Consider wearing socks of different thicknesses.
Trainers get dirty quickly.
Regularly wipe down the nylon upper and rubber sole with a damp cloth after use. For tougher dirt, use a soft brush and mild soap. Prevention is key to keeping them cleaner longer.
Outsole seems slippery on certain surfaces.
While the lug outsole provides good grip, some highly polished or wet surfaces can still be challenging. Exercise caution on such surfaces. Ensure the outsole is clean of debris.

Care
Proper care will help maintain the appearance and longevity of your trainers:
- Cleaning: For general dirt and scuffs on the nylon upper, gently wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap. For the rubber sole, a soft brush can help remove debris. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Drying: Allow trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as this can damage materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. If storing for extended periods, consider using shoe trees to maintain shape.
- Stains: For stubborn stains, use a dedicated shoe cleaner appropriate for nylon and rubber. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
