FAQs
Are these shoes good for serious running?
The New Balance 327 is inspired by classic running shoes and features a lightweight upper and rubber sole suitable for light running and walking. For competitive or high-mileage running, specialized performance running shoes might offer more targeted support and cushioning.
How do I choose the right size?
The New Balance 327 typically runs true to size. It's recommended to consult the official New Balance sizing guide or try them on to ensure the perfect fit, especially if you are between sizes or have specific foot concerns.
What is the main material of the upper?
The New Balance 327 'Sea Salt' features a durable leather upper, providing a premium feel and classic look.
Can I wear these shoes in the rain?
While the leather upper offers some inherent water resistance, these shoes are not fully waterproof. It's best to avoid heavy rain to protect the materials. For extended exposure to wet conditions, consider applying a water-repellent spray designed for leather footwear.
How do I store my New Balance 327s?
Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their original shape and absorb any residual moisture, extending their lifespan.
Do these shoes offer good arch support?
The New Balance 327 provides standard arch support suitable for general wear and light activities. If you require specialized arch support due to foot conditions, you might consider using custom insoles.
Troubleshooting
Shoe feels too tight or uncomfortable.
Ensure proper lacing; try loosening laces across the instep or experimenting with different lacing techniques. Consider trying different thicknesses of socks or confirm sizing if persistent.
Squeaking sound when walking.
Identify the source of the squeak. It might be the insole rubbing against the shoe's interior (try removing and reinserting, or applying a thin layer of powder underneath) or external components rubbing (check for loose parts or debris).
Soles feel slippery.
Clean the rubber sole thoroughly to remove any dirt, dust, or debris that might be reducing traction. Avoid wearing on excessively wet or oily surfaces if possible.
Leather upper shows scuffs or marks.
For light scuffs, try gently rubbing with a clean, dry cloth. For deeper marks, a specialized leather cleaner or conditioner designed for white leather may help restore the appearance. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
