The quality and the materials seem to be very good, although the actual size is smaller than expected. I wear male 42 (EU) and usually buy 43 (EU) when it comes to sport shoes. The 43 (EU) size I bought form this model turned out uncomfortably small with the tip of the big toe touching the nose.The color of dark arctic grey turned out 2-3 tones lighter than in the original photos. This makes this pair look more lighter-whiter in general, impression is that this are summer only shoes.

Yes these are Men’s shoes, if you scroll to the bottom when looking at these shoes and you see the page that says what outfits these shoes go with, you’ll notice it’ll all men’s clothing, so yes it takes a bit more looking but these are men’s shoes.I normally wear a 9.5 in lady shoes and I ordered an 8.5 in these new balance shoes, fits spot on. If you try to go bigger then depending on your ankle size, they might get too loose. I have longer toes and wish I could have a smidge more room than the 8.5 only in the toe area but when I tried that, they got loose around the back. I have them in a few different colors. These pics attached above are of the sea salt shoes, I’m not In love with how the fabric looks sort of worn out, but I like the black and navy combo so ...

I’m thinking I might go for another black/navy combo in the same style because I think the black leather trim on the shoe might bug me with the over worn look.But overall, it’s a cute shoe, definitely unisex if you make sure you pick your size. Also going to new balance.com and finding their chart conversion (men to women sizes) might help when trying to figure out what size to purchase these. Hope that helps ! Happy shopping :)

These are beautiful, love the colour the style and shape!m. But they are not the most comfortable. The back of the trainer is actually quite stiff and gave me blisters on the first few wears. I have never had blisters from trainers before. They are nice to walk in since, but when standing in one place my feet do get really uncomfortable. I’ve paid less for comfier trainers before, I’m glad I got these during the BF sale

I think I cracked the code. I usually get NB in 26 cm. My other pair is size 40,5 and 26 cm. I ordered these in size 40,5 and yet they were 25,5 cm long. Meaning they were too small for me. So I should’ve gotten them in size 41,5 because this pair is from men’s collection, not women's. How do I know? There is no size 41. If sizing goes from 40,5 straight to 41,5 it means it’s male sizing. Hope it helps someone out. Besides that, lovely shoes! 327 is the most comfortable shoe I had ever owned.
Loved this colourway of the NB 327 trainers but the fit isn't good, gutted. I tried them on in store, they were super comfy so ordered the 6 online. Mine arrived and they have wrecked my feet after one wear. Really disappointed and will have to sell them on. The advice was that they are a normal fit. It doesn't seem the case. Beware if purchasing these trainers really test them in home before deciding.
NBs are narrow trainers, and also smaller than other trainers I usually wear in the same size (e.g converse, Nike, vans, dunlops). Material seems quite cheap and no rings on the laces so I feel like the fabric would tear fairly easily.Items is fulfilled by new balance, so be aware of these items as delivery is slower, updates/comms are worse and delivery wad.later than confirmed, came about a week after the estimated delivery date.
Waited a couple of weeks for these to arrive as they weren't in stock in my size. I've never had new balance before, but they look great and I fancied a change from my usual go-to brand. They are really comfortable and I have wide feet, but I just couldn't get past the fact they have a kind of waterproof material and one shoe was really wrinkled. Also they kind of rustle! I tried to get past it as they are comfy, but not for me! Am returning these, may try another pair that hopefully don't have this material.
I’ve always admired these trainers from afar, maybe not this colour in particular, but my son chose these and was super happy when they arrived. Glad I did. These are super comfy. Had a lot of compliments too. I did go up half a size though. Plus I have wide feet and these were perfect going up just that little bit. I would highly recommend, just hope they hold out as they are not cheap. Best trainers I’ve bought though. Thumbs up from me!!
I am a female, and read the description that said "gender inclusive"........but this is not true. The sneakers I received said "MEN'S" on the box.....they are huge and extremely wide. When I came to this website to look for women's sneakers, I selected "women's" in the drop down. These sneakers came up, and when I saw it said gender inclusive, I thought it meant they were offered in both men's and women's sizes. I chose women's so I chose the size I would be in women's. But they are men's sizing, so they are way too large for me. Come on Nordstrom, do better and give us an honest description. You didn't and you they will have to be shipped back to you. waste of my time and your money. And I still need sneakers!
I buy the unisex sizes because I have wide feet, these are great! I spend 12 hours on my feet at work, so a good shoe is a must! Many of us in the ER wear the 327, love the form and function! I just wish they were more available, I have to stalk the NB site for new stock, which doesn't happen often. I bought my first pair on a chance stop at a mom and pop sneaker store in Georgetown and have been searching for another pair for 5 months! This was the first time NB had my size. :)
