This is my 3rd pair of the iconic 327 and I love this shoe! I was looking for a nice travel sneaker that I could wear with dresses, shorts, or pants; something that was fashionable, light weight, and comfortable. I was going to purchase a Nike shoe, but then I remembered my "old faithful" 327s that I already owned! I order the Sandstone color scheme, just tried them on, and they are perfect. Look out Italy, here I come!

Ordered two pairs of these but they’re such poor quality, they’re both going back. White & gray pair are a cheap stiff fabric with the N logo printed onto it and stitched over. New Balance logo on other side is ironed on. Black & white pair have a leather-ish N sewn on, and brand name embroidered on, but cheap fabric uppers and the suede is so fuzzy it looks almost hairy. Black pair came with a note warning that black dye may transfer in wet conditions or from perspiration. What? They are shoes to be worn on feet that walk on the ground where gravity pulls liquid. No arch support. Didn’t bother to try them on. For $100 a pop, not worth the money.

Great kicks - I got the white/beige in Women's US 8.5, EU 40. I'm normally an EU 39 in non-sneakers, but I've tried that size in the past in this model and it pinched a bit in the toe. There's a little heel slippage for me in the 40, but using alternative lacing (loop at the top) resolves it. 4 stars only because the sizing is a little inconsistent from the norm.This color combo is fantastic; it's slightly off-white, with a cool, putty-toned beige on the N and on the sole - the sole in particular is gorgeous and I prefer it over the warm-beige gum color that the all-white and some of the other color combos use. This coordinates so well with natural linen tones; perfect for summer! Planning to continue wearing with jeans and my usual black as well.

Fantastic! I bought a pair of Onitsuka tigers because everyone was praising those. Took a while to get the right size but I love them.however after 2 1/2 weeks of wearing them every day on New York City pavement, they were already starting to not support my foot and falling apart a little.These feel super industrial! I wore them nearly every day for four weeks and they are fantastic! Super easy to clean. The majority of my uppers are white, I thought they were leather, but I think they are a type of synthetic foam with some leather accents. That part is disappointing, however, they are very comfortable unlike other synthetic sneakers I’ve worn in the past. I highly recommend these. They even make my foot look smaller, are very cute , and I’ve had many ... MoreFantastic! I bought a pair of Onitsuka tigers because everyone was praising those.

I thought I read enough reviews to make a decision. New Balance has been around a while I should be able to choose any of their shoes and know the brand has me covered. I loved the look of these shoes I needed them to be comfortable while wearing to the gym. I don't run I walk fast on the treadmill at a pretty steep incline and use the elliptical at a steady pace of 3.5 level 1. Week one I got a blister on the back of my heel. Not a terrible one but still a pea sized blister. The inner soles feel weak not enough padding to cushion my feet while moderately walking on the treadmill. I had higher expectations. I have been wearing the shoes going on 2 weeks a one wonder daily if I should return them. The design is cute the signature N is more yellow- ish than white like ... MoreI thought I read enough reviews to make a decision.

No wonder finding this shoe in your size and desired color is like finding a Unicorn- they are amazing! I can see why they continue to sell out. They are the most comfortable yet stylish athletic I’ve ever purchased. Comfort is 10/10. Just enough padding to be an all day wearer, but not so much you feel like your standing on a squishy. For me, I have what would be considered a wide foot yet they fit perfectly; sizing down a half size worked best. When first “breaking in”- no wear spots or rubbing which often happens with others. And the style. Still with all the other aspects NB managed to crush it with the style. This shoe is such a winner that I’ve now bought in 3 color ways.
I love these sneakers and have been trying to get them for 2 months…my size is always sold out. Finally ordered them the other day and they arrived this afternoon. Opened the box and they looked liked used sneakers! Showing signs of wear, tossed in the box with no wrapping or protection…maybe these were the samples or something but uggggg!!! For $99…these look like crap. The right shoe has 2 seperate marks one looks like pen and the other marker. I cannot belive an employee looked at these and thought someone would pay full price for damaged sneakers!!! That is messed up! Do better DICKS. I will return and buy in store I guess to make sure I don’t get pre damaged sneakers. If I can get these in my size again! Poor quality control by employees picking online orders.
I bought these a few months back. They run TTS and are comfortable. I only wear for leisure, not to the gym nor working out bc they don't provide enough supportI bought the sea salt shade, which was a cream/light tan shade. Also didn't realize these are mostly canvas, which is fine, but not what I thought and I know they will be hard to clean. Mixed thoughts if I would repurchase, but if your looking for style, then purchaseAlso, I sized up 1/2 size originally bc that was only size in stock & thought they would be fine. Unfortunately, they were too big /too wide (with thinner running socks). Stick with your true size unless you're in bw sizes and/or wear thick socks.
Tested these shoes on a friend's recommendation. I have had trouble feeling really great and comfortable in a shoe where you can walk all day and not feel any discomfort whatsoever. These shoes are wide enough for a regular to slightly wide foot and they tighten really well and have a great feel on hard surfaces. You feel really cushioned and the experience was excellent. Being white with some suede, I don't use them for walking the dogs in the hills.I had to have my first town Tennis shoes, because they are really needed in our life here in concrete land. They look really great too.They go with everything and and the back heel feels and looks particularly good.
I can see now what’s the hype all about these shoes. They’re quite comfortable and can easily go with jeans or dresses. They don’t look too casual so you can get away with making them look kinda formal for work. I have experienced some back heel rubbing when I wore no show socks so I’d say this is best with a full coverage socks. I’m usually a size 8.5 in Asics and Hoka but size 8 fits me perfectly. I have bunions and wear a bunion protector which could make shoes more snug but it still fits comfortably.
