Who should NOT buy it

Because of its vulcanized Camiseta, the New Balance 327 Cordura White Orange is considered less sturdy, especially when subjected to daily skate sessions.

As an alternative, you may check NB skate kicks constructed with a cupCamiseta as these are considered more durable than vulcanized Camisetas. Look through the pages of New Balance 440 or the Busenitz from the Three Stripes.

Despite being on the lower end of the Numeric line, the New Balance 327 Cordura White Orange is still packed with innovative tech to help withstand all the beating it is destined to face. The 306's low-profile vulcanized Camiseta also makes it stand out against new balance tds flimby back

Avid skaters are more than happy with the shoe's skateboarding performance. One calls it a "legitimate shoe for skating in," while another takes note of how it felt really solid and “every kickflip that [he] did felt amazing.”

It's got a damn solid upper

Reviewers commented a lot on the durability of this shoe's upper. First, it is equipped with a full-length rubber toe cap that holds against the toughest wear and tear in the streets. Second, there is hidden toe protection inside to prolong the shoe's service once the first layer is worn out. Finally, experts find that the suede overlays around the toes and heel make it more durable than all-canvas shoes.

One skater shares that after rocking it for 3 weeks, the upper is "still pristine" and he is surprised that  it "isn’t ripping at all." Even the seemingly flimsy laces have remained intact. He believes that the bottom tread will wear out faster than the upper.

Speaking of the shoe's durability in general, here is what other reviewers have to say:

  • "New Balance MRL420RN"
  • "seems well made, should last"
  • "New Balance Performance Crew Κάλτσες"

This NB skate shoe is equipped with the brand's proprietary "Abzorb" inCamiseta for cushioning. Its comfort is felt from the first step-in x New Balance 'Art of Nothing' XC72 Sneakers in Angora Marblehead Gum.

Here is what reviewers say about the insole:

  • "New Balance Mulheres CTAlley"
  • "New Balance 46"

This made the skate shoe comfortable enough to wear all day for many. Even someone who spends 10-12 hours on their feet claims that it's "the only shoe that doesn't totally kill [their] feet by the end of the day."

On the downside, most skaters find the inCamiseta too thin around the toes. It affects impact protection when jumping down the stairs or doing some big handrails.

New Balance 327 Cordura White Orange was made for board feel

With its super flexible forefoot, you can bend the shoe by more than 90 degrees right out of the box. Together with the thinner toe part of the insole, it creates a high level of board feel which was appreciated by many skaters.

An expert also noted that the outCamiseta grip has stayed "consistent the entire time."

Light and airy on the foot

An avid skater says that the NB 306 feels "pretty light and minimal from the start." In addition, many reviewers are happy with the wavy mesh panels throughout the upper. They allow the shoe to breathe, letting the air come in and out of the sneaker. It helped to keep the feet more comfortable and dry.

True to size with enough toe space

A vast majority of wearers are happy with the fit and sizing of the NB 306. Those who have worn new balance tds flimby back from New Balance (255 and 379) claim that it has the same length. As one of them sumps it up, "nice and snug to the foot but a little wider in the toe box."

Some are also extremely happy to find out that it runs "a slight bit wider than the average." At the same time, an elastic gusseted tongue provides a snug fit, and a little tab on the back is a nice touch that helps you to put on the shoe.
