FAQs
How should I clean my New Balance 327s?
For nylon and rubber parts, use a soft cloth with mild soap and water. For suede, use a specialized suede brush to remove dirt and a suede cleaner for stains. Always air dry away from heat. Avoid submerging the shoes in water.
Are New Balance 327s suitable for running?
The New Balance 327 is inspired by heritage running shoes and is suitable for light running or walking. However, it's primarily designed as a lifestyle shoe for comfort and style, not for rigorous, high-performance athletic training.
What materials are used in the New Balance 327?
The New Balance 327 features a breathable, lightweight nylon and suede upper, a padded insole for comfort, and a durable, shock-absorbing rubber sole that extends from heel to toe.
How does the sizing run for the New Balance 327?
New Balance sizing is generally consistent. It is recommended to try your usual shoe size. If you are between sizes, consider trying the next half size up for optimal comfort, especially if you prefer a roomier fit.
Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?
While the rubber sole offers good traction, the suede upper is not water-resistant and can be damaged by prolonged exposure to moisture. It is advisable to avoid wearing these shoes in heavy rain or wet conditions to preserve their appearance and integrity.
What makes the New Balance 327's design unique?
Its design is a modern interpretation of 1970s New Balance running shoes (like the 320 and 355), featuring an oversized 'N' logo, an aggressive lugged outsole that wraps around the heel, and a distinct wedge silhouette, creating a bold, contemporary look rooted in heritage.
Troubleshooting
Squeaking sound while walking
This can sometimes occur if the insole shifts. Try removing the insole, sprinkling a small amount of baby powder or cornstarch inside the shoe, and then reinserting the insole. Ensure laces are tied securely.
Suede appears matted or dirty
Use a dedicated suede brush to gently brush the nap of the suede in one direction to lift dirt and restore its texture. For deeper stains, use a specialized suede cleaner following the product's instructions carefully. Avoid scrubbing vigorously.
Shoes feel too stiff initially
While generally comfortable, new shoes may feel a bit stiff. Wear them for short periods initially to break them in. The materials are designed to become more flexible and conform to your foot over time.
Foot feels too warm/sweaty
Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks (e.g., moisture-wicking materials). Periodically remove insoles to air out the shoes and consider using shoe deodorizers or moisture-absorbing inserts.

- Activity: Best suited for casual wear, walking, and light recreational running. Not recommended for high-performance sports or intense training where specialized footwear is required.
Care and Maintenance:
To ensure the longevity and appearance of your New Balance 327s, follow these care guidelines:
- General Cleaning: For the nylon and rubber components, use a mild soap mixed with cool water and a soft brush or cloth. Gently scrub soiled areas. Wipe clean with a damp cloth.
- Suede Care: The suede sections require specific attention. Use a dedicated suede brush to remove loose dirt and restore the nap. For stains, apply a specialized suede cleaner following the product instructions. Avoid saturating suede with water, as this can cause discoloration or damage.
- Drying: Always air dry your shoes at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or heat sources, which can damage materials or cause shrinking.
- Odor Control: Remove insoles occasionally to air them out. You can also use shoe deodorizers or baking soda inside the shoes to absorb moisture and odors.
- Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape when not in use.
