What if I am between sizes in the New Balance 327?

Between sizes in the New Balance 327: start with True to size in length; half up if wide or between sizes. Width and sock volume often matter more than splitting a half size.

Do the New Balance 327 work for wide feet?

This last is often narrow or low-volume. Tapered midfoot/toebox; no wide option on most colorways Wide feet may need a half size up, a wide SKU, or a roomier sibling — see Related guides.

Should I size up in the New Balance 327 for thick socks or break-in?

Break-in: Light â€” suede/mesh softens but shape stays slim. Thick socks add volume — try the sock you will wear with the usual size advice before jumping a full size. See the thick socks & boot break-in guides.
