FAQs
Does the New Balance Numeric 272 run true to size?
No, these shoes run small. We recommend purchasing one size larger than your standard shoe size.
Can I use these for running?
No, these are specialized skate trainers with flat, vulcanized soles that lack the cushioning and support required for running.
What materials are used for the upper?
The upper is constructed primarily from high-quality, durable suede.
Are the soles suitable for grip?
Yes, the vulcanized gum rubber sole is designed specifically to provide excellent grip and traction for skating.
How do I protect the suede?
Use a suede-safe protective spray and avoid heavy moisture to keep the material in good condition.
Troubleshooting
The shoe feels too tight at the front
The 272 model is known to run small. If you haven't worn them yet, exchange for a size larger. If already worn, consider using thin insoles or a shoe stretcher.
Difficulty maintaining the white upper's appearance
Apply a water and stain repellent spray specifically formulated for suede before your first wear to create a protective barrier against dirt.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best fit, remember that the New Balance Numeric 272 runs smaller than standard sizing. We strongly recommend choosing one size larger than your typical footwear size to ensure your toes have adequate room.
Care Instructions
- Cleaning: Because the upper is made of suede, use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove surface dirt after each use.
- Stain Removal: For tougher marks, use a dedicated suede cleaner or eraser; avoid submerging the shoes in water, as this can degrade the material and adhesives.
- Storage: Keep your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the white material from yellowing over time.
