327

Verdict

The New Balance 327 is a solid performer — a heritage scoring 82/100 in SoleHunt's data-driven evaluation, drawing on 0 consumer reviews and 0 independent expert tests. Tipping the scales at 310g, it is moderately heavy for a heritage. The 22mm heel stack — a minimal stack — delivers a firm ride at 40 HC, returning 44% of impact energy and feeling cushion-focused rather than reactive underfoot. Geometrically, the 327 runs on a mid 8mm drop that works with most running gaits, with a 14mm forefoot stack that maintains the traditional heel-elevated geometry runners with tight calves often prefer. Fit-wise, the toebox measures 94mm — roomy, with space for wider feet and swelling on long runs — and the upper comes in a standard width. True to size. Vintage running-inspired silhouette. The removable insole makes it compatible with custom orthotics. It is designed for casual wear, style, everyday use, heritage enthusiasts, and performs less well for running or sport.
