FAQs
Is the New Balance Numeric 272 good for wide feet?
Since this model already runs small, individuals with wide feet should definitely size up by at least a full size for comfort.
Can I use these for running?
No, these are skate-specific trainers designed for board control, not for high-impact running or athletic performance.
How should I clean the white leather panels?
Wipe the leather panels with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap if necessary, then let them air dry.
Does the shoe provide arch support?
The 272 is a low-profile skate shoe, which typically features minimal arch support to improve board feel.
Is the material waterproof?
The suede and leather construction is not waterproof. It is best to avoid wearing these in heavy rain.
Are these suitable for everyday walking?
Yes, they are comfortable for casual wear, though they are designed with specific features for skateboarding.
Troubleshooting
The shoe feels too tight at the toes
This model runs small; consider exchanging for a half or full size larger than your usual fit.
Suede is becoming discolored or dirty
Use a specialized suede brush or a dry eraser to gently lift dirt without saturating the material.
The sole is losing grip
Clean the bottom of the gum rubber foxing with a damp cloth to remove dust and debris that builds up over time.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because the New Balance Numeric 272 runs small, it is critical to order at least half a size to a full size larger than your standard shoe size to avoid discomfort. For daily maintenance, keep the suede and leather components clean by using a soft brush to remove loose dirt. Avoid machine washing, as water and high heat can damage the vulcanized rubber and suede materials. If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources to maintain the shape and material integrity.
