FAQs

Do I need to size up for the NB Numeric 272?

Yes, these shoes run small, so it is highly recommended to purchase a size larger than your standard shoe size.

Are these shoes suitable for everyday walking?

Yes, they feature a low-profile design and durable sole that make them excellent for casual, everyday use.

How do I clean the suede material?

Use a dry suede brush or a suede eraser. Avoid using water or harsh detergents, as these can ruin the suede finish.

What is the primary material of the upper?

The upper is constructed primarily from high-quality, durable suede.

Does the shoe provide good grip?

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight across the midfoot

Adjust the laces for a looser tension, as the elasticated tongue straps provide most of the security.

Dirt buildup on the suede surface

Use a specialized suede brush in one direction to lift the nap and remove debris.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longest lifespan for your trainers, follow these care and setup guidelines:

  1. Sizing Adjustment: Because the 272 runs small, we recommend ordering one size larger than your typical sneaker size for a comfortable fit.
  2. Break-in Period: While the elasticated tongue creates a snug fit immediately, the suede will soften and mold to your foot shape after a few days of consistent wear.
  3. Cleaning: As these are constructed from suede, avoid machine washing. Use a dedicated suede brush to remove loose dirt and a suede eraser for scuff marks. Keep them away from heavy moisture to prevent texture damage.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain the integrity of the blue and white coloring.
