Yes, they generally fit true to standard UK sizing, though the profile is low and somewhat snug for skate performance.
These are skate-specific trainers and do not provide the arch support or cushioning required for long-distance running.
Using a water and stain repellent spray specifically designed for suede can help prevent moisture and dirt buildup.
Due to the sleek, low-profile design, individuals with wider feet may find them quite snug; trying them on with thin socks is recommended.
No, machine washing can damage the vulcanized rubber sole and cause the suede to warp; spot cleaning is the safest method.
Vulcanised soles provide better flexibility and superior board feel, making it easier to control your skateboard.
Loosen the laces significantly before putting them on, or try wearing thinner socks until the materials naturally stretch.
Use a specialized suede brush or a dry, clean rubber eraser to gently lift the nap of the material and remove surface debris.
The Numeric 340 features elasticated tongue straps to prevent this; if it still moves, ensure the laces are threaded through the tongue loop if applicable, or tighten the lacing system.
Because these trainers feature suede panels, care is essential to maintain their look. Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt from the suede and avoid submerging the shoes in water, as this can stiffen the leather and degrade the vulcanized bonding. For the best fit, ensure you select your standard UK size; however, those with wider feet might consider wearing thinner socks initially. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the rubber foxing from hardening or discoloring over time.
