Within an hour out of wearing them the first time I had 2 compliments! Neutral with a little pop of animal print on the LARGE N is perfect for me style wise.As far as comfort, the words wow these are comfortable came out of my mouth as soon as I out my foot in them and they didn't disappoint as I wore them. By hour 5 my feet did need a rest but that is normal for a new pair of shoes.For me they for true to size. I am a true 8 and definitely wouldn't size up. Not a snug fit so if I was in between a 7.5 and 8 I would have needed to size down.This is definetely the first of many 327s in my closet!!!

Love these, but, and this is an ASOS issue not a New Balance issue. On the tongue of NB trainers there is a code, that code corresponds to the width of the shoe, telling you if you have about half an inch difference in the back of the shoe. I bought these and they felt slightly bigger than my last pair I bought from ASOS, sure enough they’re a half inch bigger around the heel of my foot-ASOS should state in the description if they’re wide footed or not, and not just put them all up as standard fit. I always size up in new balance because they’re generally too small, but I could have stuck to my original size with these 327’s-even though my last pair of 327’s that I bought from ASOS were exactly the same and fit perfectly.

Do not put these in the washing machine, I did with my last pair and at the toe, the rubber came away from the material and I now have a hole-that is a New Balance Issue and the only thing that leats these amazing shoes down.

Wore them for the first time and had 3 people comment how cute they were within an hour. So adorable and affordable. New Balance is the best brand. These are comfy and a great fit as always. The area where they taper in the middle of your foot makes a little noise when walking. Not enough to not buy, but noticeable. I am concerned that the trim in the shoe is going to wear and then become a different look since it won't match the other part of the material that makes up the shoe. Time will tell, just a fantastic in style shoe that is comfortable. If on the fence, go for it! The comfort aspect is worth it and then add the fashionable aspect and it's a great purchase.

My wife loves the design of these. The leopard print on the N, and the contrasting colours on the body look great. I'm sure she says they'd be comfortable as well.....if they ever arrived. I can only assume the pair I ordered are now being worn in an ASOS/Yodel fulfillment centre somewhere. After being given the runaround repeatedly, I ended up with a refund. Shame, because she already has a pair in a different colour and loves them. My ratings below are based on that pair.
I ordered the gray in my usual 8.5 size. The shoes look even better in person. The tread looks like solid octopus tentacles; it flows up the back of the square heel, giving a cool unique look to the shoes. Unfortunately I have to send them back and hope a size 9 will be better. Unless you have a very narrow forefoot, order a 1/2 size up. I have a normal width foot yet my toes are numbing slightly after having the shoes on around the house due to how narrow the front is. I felt this as soon as I slipped my foot in the first time, before even lacing them up. Looking at the pictures, you can see how much the shoes taper in. Hopefully 1/2 size larger won't be too big in the overall fit and will give the needed extra room in the front to avoid numbness and ingrown toe ... MoreI ordered the gray in my usual 8.5 size.

I saw these asos exclusives over a year ago and totally fell in love, but they were sold out. I happened to check the site and they had limited stock available. The reviews say the run large so I sized down, and I’m glad I did because they are actually men’s sizing. The site doesn’t state that but the shoes do. They are a little big, but I love them so much, I’ll make it work. They are also more neutral than black and white. I get so many compliments every time I wear them. So cute!
Bought for the lovely looking arch support, great price and well, they just look ace for work! First week of wear, felt top dollar as everyone commented “oo love your trainers”, what you want to hear. But by the end of the days, cheezus, they absolutely kill, the relief to put a pair of any Nike on is immense. Been about a month now, I took the insoles out to improve comfort, (am a slim foot) but no, the joy is taking them off and giving them filthy looks for looking nice but wearing tortuous. And then I get sucked in thinking I need different colours, I don’t need the pain or ache.
I am usually a UK3 in shoes but as I hadn’t worn new balance before I originally ordered a UK3.5 thinking that at least if they were a small fit I would still be okay but these were still very small. They did fit me, but we’re very tight and would have been very uncomfortable to wear. I checked their website and although it doesn’t mention them being small fits, it did mention that the shoe would be unlikely to stretch so the fit should be comfortable at first wearing. I returned the 3.5 and ordered a UK4 which fit as though they were a size 3 so definitely size up a full size! The only UK4 pair of shoes that I own and still a good fit, they’re also fairly narrow so wouldn’t recommend if you have feet. Once I sized up they were lovely shoes, felt a little cheaper ... MoreI am usually a UK3 in shoes but as I hadn’t worn new balance before I originally ordered a UK3.5 thinking that at least if they were a small fit I would still be okay but these were still very small.

I saw a woman wearing them at the mall and I thought what an attractive sneaker. I then realized they were New Balance and I thought that is even better! I had no idea what the # was so I searched for them and found them a few weeks later at DSG. I took a break for a few days. I loved the color and the fit is right on. They are also lightweight and very comfortable. I am on my feet all day at work and I didn't even feel like I had them on by the end of the day. Good job NB! I will definitely recommend these sneakers to others
Previous reviewer says "runs large". I do not agree. I believe it depends on the width of your foot. I have wide feet. My usual size is 8. Since I did not have experience with New Balance shoes, I ordered both 8 and 8.5. Size 8 was a definite no go, my toes were hitting front of shoe. Surprisingly the 8.5 was still snug (width wise), toes were better. I sized up a full size to 9 to best accommodate my feet (boo for bunions!) 9 was perfect! White and zebra stripe is a fantastic neutral. If you have wide feet, consider ordering several sizes. Luckily New Balance return policy made the online shopping experience easy.
