FAQs

Are New Balance 327 shoes true to size?

Generally, New Balance 327s are considered true to size. However, fit can vary by individual foot shape. It's recommended to try them on if possible or refer to New Balance's official sizing guide for accurate measurements.

How do I clean my New Balance 327 'Sea Salt' sneakers?

For the leather upper, gently wipe with a soft, damp cloth and a small amount of mild leather cleaner. For the rubber sole, use a brush and mild soap. Always air dry away from direct heat and avoid submerging the shoes in water.

What materials are used in the construction of this particular shoe?

This New Balance 327 'Sea Salt' model features a SuperComp lightweight upper, primarily constructed from leather, combined with a durable rubber sole.

Can I wear these sneakers for intense athletic training or sports?

The New Balance 327 is designed for running, walking, and everyday wear, offering a blend of style and comfort. While suitable for light to moderate activity, for intense athletic training or specialized sports, a shoe designed specifically for those activities might provide better support and performance.

What is the design inspiration behind the New Balance 327?

The New Balance 327 takes inspiration from classic 1970s New Balance running shoes, specifically the 320 running shoe and the 355 trail shoe, blending their vintage aesthetics with contemporary design elements.

Is this 'Sea Salt' model available in other sizes or colors?

Yes, the New Balance 327 series is widely popular and available in a variety of colorways and sizes for both adults and kids. You can check product listings or the official New Balance website for other available options.

Are these shoes suitable for all weather conditions?

While the rubber sole provides good grip, the leather upper is not inherently waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain or very wet conditions may cause water damage or staining. It's advisable to avoid excessive wetness and consider a water-repellent spray for protection in damp conditions.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable initially.

Like many new shoes, the New Balance 327 may require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially (e.g., an hour or two) before extended use to allow the materials to conform to your foot.

White leather upper gets dirty quickly or shows scuffs.

Clean promptly. For the leather upper, gently wipe with a soft, damp cloth and a cleaner specifically designed for leather. For scuffs, a specialized leather cleaner or eraser may help. Regular cleaning after each wear can prevent dirt build-up.

Sole seems to lack grip on certain surfaces.

The rubber sole provides good general traction. If experiencing issues, ensure the sole is clean of debris (like mud or small stones) that might reduce grip. If the sole is severely worn down, replacement of the shoe may be necessary for safety.

Shoes develop an odor.

To prevent odor, allow shoes to air out after each wear. You can also use shoe deodorizers, baking soda sprinkled inside overnight (then removed), or anti-bacterial sprays designed for footwear. Ensure socks are clean and dry.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

Getting started with your New Balance 327 sneakers is simple. Just unbox them, lace them up to your preferred comfort, and they are ready to wear.

Care Instructions

Proper care will help maintain the appearance and longevity of your New Balance 327 'Sea Salt' sneakers:

  1. Initial Protection: Consider applying a protective spray suitable for leather and suede before the first wear to guard against water and stains.
  2. Regular Cleaning: For general dirt and dust, wipe the leather upper with a soft, dry cloth. For tougher spots, use a slightly damp cloth with a small amount of mild leather cleaner.
  3. Sole Cleaning: Clean the rubber sole with a brush and mild soap and water. You can use an old toothbrush for hard-to-reach areas.
  4. Air Drying: Always allow your shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can damage the leather.
  5. Storage: Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
  6. Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use harsh detergents, bleach, or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the materials and color.
