FAQs

Do these shoes come up true to size?

No, they typically run small. We strongly recommend purchasing a half-size larger than your standard shoe size.

Can I use these for professional skateboarding?

Yes, they are specifically designed for skateboarding and feature a reinforced toe cap and impact-absorbing midsole to handle the rigors of the sport.

What materials are used for the upper?

The upper is crafted from premium suede with tonal nubuck underlays for added durability and style.

How should I clean the black suede?

Use a dry soft brush to remove dirt. If necessary, use a specialized suede cleaner with a soft cloth. Do not soak the shoes in water.

Does this model provide good arch support?

Yes, thanks to the integrated Abzorb insole and Fuel Cell midsole, this model provides significantly more arch and impact support than standard canvas skate shoes.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight across the midfoot

The shoe features a dense, padded construction. If they are slightly tight, try loosening the laces entirely before re-tying them to allow the tongue and upper more room to accommodate your foot.

Suede looks dull after use

Use a suede-specific brush to lift the nap of the material. Brushing in one direction after cleaning will help restore the original texture and appearance.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent durability due to reinforced construction
  • High-impact protection with specialized midsole/insole tech
  • Versatile design suitable for both skating and streetwear
  • Breathable tongue construction for added comfort

Cons

  • Runs small, requiring users to order a half-size up
  • Primarily suited for those who prefer the 90s bulkier skate profile
  • Requires a break-in period for the suede and nubuck materials

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the best fit, remember that the Numeric 480 runs small. It is recommended that you size up by a half-size compared to your usual footwear size.

For care, it is best to avoid machine washing your suede trainers, as water and heat can damage the material texture. Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt from the suede and nubuck surfaces. For stubborn stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner or a damp cloth with mild soap, taking care not to oversaturate the leather. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct sunlight or heaters to prevent warping.
