As recreational running established widespread popularity in the 1970s, the benchmark for running footwear shifted from mere existence to performance. While the era's designs would be considered simple by today's standards, the decade stands out as the moment when running shoes truly came into their own. The 327 sheds new light on the ‘70s as a time of innovation by boldly reshaping classic design elements with a thoroughly contemporary outlook. With an angular reworking of the tried-and-true wedge silhouette, outsize, asymmetrically applied ‘N' branding, and wraparound, trail-inspired lug outsole, the 327 provides nothing less than a complete reimagination of our running heritage.

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.

These are very comfortable shoes. I walk and run but only bought to wear on the go, day to day! That being said, I’ve worn them for a few 2-3 mile walks and they don’t hurt my ankles, which is a common issue I have. The bottoms don’t have a ton of arch support if that is important to you. Love the way they look and feel. Bought my true size. Would buy again or recommend to a friend.

I saw someone wearing these shoes and instantly fell in love with the style. In addition to being super sporty and cute, the New Balance 327 sneakers are extremely light and comfortable. They are as comfortable (if not more so) than my beloved On Cloud sneakers. I now want the 327s in every color. I love the rust color details. They fit me true to size.

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.

Comfortable shoes. They fit true to size.I bought the same style but with black lettering 1st so I bought these next. The only thing I do not like about them is the cream at the toe and the sides are a little "fluffy". Other than that I absolutely love and get a lot of compliments about them and they go with everything!I personally think new balance is the new hip street tennis shoe... at a fraction of the price but even more hip than most that are triple the price.Note: I love spending money on tennis shoes but this is the best purchase I've made in a few years!
These are comfortable and an all day wear. I saw someone say they look cheap, I disagree. I prefer the sole to come out because I use special soles for my arches. I run around all day with my kiddos and they feel great. I wanted to but the veja venturi white shoes because I love the two tones of the but I saw these and loved them more. New balance is one of my favorite walking shoes, and I love that they are making them more stylish.
I've struggled to find comfortable athletic shoes my entire life. I have a narrow heel, boney, wider foot and a high arch. I've tried just about every brand out there including several New Balance models in the past. This one is a winner. It is beyond comfortable for my wackadoodle feet! Plus, the added bonus of them being super fashionable is just that much better. I can wear these with literally everything in my wardrobe. The cool retro 70's vibe is awesome. I may have to get another pair in a fun color now!
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 purchased the new Balance 327 about a month ago. I was looking for a lightweight shoe that was stylish and not bulky. I am amazed with how comfortable they are. They are stylish and I get compliments every time I wear them. I have even persuaded a few friends to buy them!! Very happy with these shoes so much that I have purchased 3 more pair.
Women’s 327 Core Casual Sneakers I recently purchased. Upon receiving the package, I noticed the box was crushed. When I opened it, the sneakers appeared to be in poor condition. The black synthetic material around the shoe looked as if it had been chewed or was damaged, possibly by exposure to the sun. The shoes even gave the impression that they had been worn before.I took immediate steps to return the product, as it was clear within a few minutes that this was not the quality I expected from Macy’s.
