Crafted with durable suede and featuring a specialized vulcanized sole, this shoe is ideal for intense skate sessions or casual daily wear, though its performance-focused build means it may feel firmer than traditional lifestyle sneakers.

FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for everyday walking?

Yes, their low-profile aesthetic and durable construction make them comfortable for casual, everyday use.

How do I clean the suede upper?

Use a soft suede brush to gently remove surface debris. For deeper stains, use a suede-specific eraser or cleaning solution.

Do these shoes provide good impact protection?

They include a PU heel wedge designed to provide impact protection and stability during skate maneuvers.

Is the fit true to size?

New Balance Numeric trainers generally fit true to size, though the elasticated tongue creates a snug, locked-in feel.

Are these made for men or women?

The New Balance Numeric 340 is a unisex design, suitable for both men and women.

Troubleshooting

Tongue shifting during wear

The shoe features elasticated tongue straps; ensure they are properly aligned across the top of the foot to keep the tongue locked in place.

Stiff sole out of the box

Vulcanized soles often require a break-in period; try flexing the shoe manually or wearing it for light walking before intense skating.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent board feel due to the low-profile design
  • Reinforced durability in high-wear zones
  • Secure fit provided by internal elasticated straps
  • Versatile aesthetic suitable for both skate and casual use
  • Integrated impact protection in the heel

Cons

  • Firm sole construction may require a break-in period
  • Less cushioning compared to technical running sneakers
  • Suede material requires careful cleaning to maintain appearance

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Numeric 340s last, consider these maintenance tips:

  1. Break-in: Wear the shoes for short periods before intense activity to allow the vulcanized sole and materials to adapt to your foot shape.
  2. Cleaning: Use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt. Avoid soaking the suede, as water can damage the texture and color.
  3. Fit: These trainers are designed with internal elastic straps for a snug feel; ensure you do not overtighten the laces, as the internal structure provides the necessary support.
  4. Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the suede from fading or stiffening.
