FAQs
Does the New Balance Numeric 272 run true to size?
No, these shoes run small. We recommend purchasing one size larger than your usual size.
Can I use these for long-distance running?
These are skate-specific trainers and do not provide the arch support or cushioning required for running.
What is the best way to clean the suede?
Use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt. For stubborn stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner or eraser.
Are these shoes suitable for everyday walking?
Yes, their low-profile design and comfortable fit make them excellent for casual, everyday wear.
What does the vulcanized sole offer over other types?
Vulcanized soles offer more flexibility and a better board feel, which is preferred by many skaters for technical tricks.
Are these shoes durable enough for daily skating?
Yes, they feature a reinforced toe vamp and heel quarter specifically designed to withstand the rigors of skateboarding.
Troubleshooting
The shoe feels too tight at the toes
This model has a small fit. If they are uncomfortable, you should exchange them for a size up from your usual footwear.
Tongue slides to the side during activity
Ensure your laces are tightened sufficiently to engage the elasticated tongue straps which are designed to hold the tongue in place.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because the Numeric 272 runs small, verify your fit carefully before your first session. To break them in, wear them for shorter periods during the first two days to allow the suede and internal padding to adapt to your foot shape. For care, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt and debris from the suede upper. Avoid putting these shoes in a washing machine, as the moisture can degrade the adhesives used in the vulcanized construction. If the shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper and let them air dry away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent the materials from shrinking or becoming brittle.
