FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for everyday walking?

Yes, the NB Numeric 340 features a cushioned PU heel wedge, making them comfortable for both skateboarding and casual daily use.

How should I clean the suede?

Use a dry suede brush to remove dirt. For stains, use a suede-specific cleaning eraser.

Are these unisex?

Yes, the New Balance Numeric 340 is designed as a unisex model.

What is a vulcanised sole?

It is a construction method where the rubber sole is bonded to the upper using heat, providing better flexibility and board feel than cupsole shoes.

Do these shoes provide ankle support?

As a low-profile skate shoe, they offer minimal ankle support, prioritizing flexibility and mobility instead.

Can I put these in the washing machine?

It is strongly recommended not to machine wash them, as the water and agitation can damage the suede and the bond of the vulcanised sole.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feeling too tight

Adjust the lacing pattern to be looser across the midfoot or try thinner socks for a more comfortable break-in period.

Suede becoming discolored from moisture

Use a specialized suede brush once fully dry to lift the nap and restore the texture of the material.

Decreased grip on the skateboard

Wipe the rubber outsole with a damp cloth to remove grit and debris that may be obstructing surface contact.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent board feel for precision skating
  • Reinforced toe area for extended durability
  • Impact protection from the PU heel wedge
  • Breathable mesh panels prevent overheating
  • Versatile, clean design for casual outfits

Cons

  • Suede material requires careful cleaning
  • Lower profile offers less ankle support than high-top alternatives
  • Performance fit may feel snug for those with wider feet

Setup, Compatibility & Care

For the best performance, ensure the laces are tied firmly to secure the foot, as the low-profile design relies on a snug fit to prevent slippage inside the shoe. When cleaning, avoid submerging the suede in water. Instead, use a soft-bristled suede brush to gently remove loose dirt and dust. For deeper stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner or a white pencil eraser for small spots. Keep the shoes away from extreme heat sources, such as radiators, to prevent the glue in the vulcanised sole from drying out and separating.
