FAQs
What is the primary design inspiration for the 327 series?
The 327 series is inspired by 1970s running shoe designs, incorporating elements like the lug outsole from the 355 trail running shoe.
Are these trainers suitable for running or athletic training?
The New Balance 327 are primarily lifestyle trainers designed for comfort and style in everyday wear. They are not recommended for high-intensity athletic activities or running.
How should I clean the suede parts of the trainers?
For suede, use a soft brush to remove loose dirt. For stains, use a specialized suede cleaner or a slightly damp cloth, and always allow them to air dry away from heat.
Do the trainers fit true to size?
Sizing can vary slightly. It is recommended to check the New Balance size guide and consider your foot width, as some users find them to be slightly narrower.
What kind of socks are best to wear with these trainers?
They are versatile. You can wear them with no-show socks for a casual look, or standard athletic socks. The best choice depends on personal comfort and the outfit.
Can I machine wash my New Balance 327 trainers?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, especially the suede, and affect the shoe's structure.
What is the 'Large N' branding?
The 'Large N' branding refers to the prominent 'N' logo featured on the side of the trainer, which is a signature design element of this series.
Troubleshooting
Trainers feel too tight
Try wearing them with thinner socks initially. If the issue persists, consider if a larger size is needed or if they need time to break in.
Suede appears dirty or stained
Use a dedicated suede brush to gently remove dry dirt. For stubborn stains, use a specialized suede cleaner or a slightly damp cloth, then allow to air dry completely.
Laces are difficult to tie or keep tied
Ensure laces are not excessively worn. Try a different lacing technique or double-knotting them for a more secure fit.
Outsole shows signs of wear
Regular cleaning of the outsole can prevent build-up that accelerates wear. For significant wear, consult a shoe repair specialist.
