New Balance 327's

[CummaCummaChameleon]

They're the most in demand on trend trainer at the moment, selling out constantly. I finally got my hands on a pair and am honestly a bit disappointed. I love the look of them and the colours I chose. But was shocked when they arrived to see how the body of the shoe creases when worn.

This is because they're not real leather. £110 for a trainer that only has a very small amount of decorative suede / leather on the outside, and has no real technical engineering inside to support the foot as it's a fashion trainer and not actually a proper running shoe.

I'm still keeping them because I do like them, but feeling like a bit of a sucker for giving into the fashion and social hype of these.

Yeah, i'm disappointed too. Wouldn't buy another pair even though I like the style

I ordered a pair and returned them as the shape of the toe was quite rounded and it looked like a child’s shoe. Disappointed.

I’m sick to death of seeing these trainers. They’re the new Vejas! If something is the “new thing” it would actively put me off them.

Find something original!

That's exactly what I thought in my head.

The New Veja's

I'm looking at some by Hoff the Brand at the moment. They're nice as well and not quite so mainstream

I’m sick of seeing them and I’ve got a pair 😂

Love wearing mine though - so comfortable

They might be creasing as they are too wide for your feet.

I have 3 pairs I love them, they are one of the only trainers I have found that fit my foot shape perfectly, I have wide but small feet with narrow heels. My 327s are my fave!

How do you find the size up? I'm a 7 in Converse & Vans but an 8 in New Balance 415

I have a few pairs and find them comfortable. I knew the material of them and was happy to pay for what I got.

They are very popular, but I love mine & have 2 pairs.
I have wide feet & often have trouble with trainers being too narrow. These are so comfortable, I can’t see myself parting from them anytime soon!

I love mine. I bought a pair last year and found them so comfortable I bought four more pairs and my poor gazelles don't get a look in!
I didn't realise they were so popular when I first bought them though, DD told me when she came home from uni. I just really liked the sole going up the back because it reminds me of the magic roundabout!

I love mine, have 2 pairs. For some reason the design doesn’t give me calf pain as other trainers do, even the Nike air style.

I spotted them on a woman I see out and about who I think is very understated and stylish in her dress, and decided to mimic her style

What is the sizing like? Are they true to size or I’ve heard you have to size up? If so, by a half or full size please.

I am a sheep (baa). I just love the back of them.

Mine are true to size.

Has anyone got 2002Rs yet?

I've recently bought some. Grey and cream suede. They were so comfy on first wear. Got my usual size 38.
My teenage daughter goofed and thinks I'm having a midlife crisis

I would deliberately avoid them, because everyone else has them. I’m not especially individual or unique, just don’t like to be identical to everyone else!
