FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
The New Balance Numeric 272 is known for having a slightly small fit. We recommend considering a larger size than your usual standard.
Are these suitable for everyday walking?
While designed primarily for skating, the low-profile style and comfort features make them perfectly suitable for casual daily wear.
How do I clean the suede?
Use a specialized suede brush to remove dirt. Avoid water and standard detergents, as these can damage the texture and color of the suede.
What is the benefit of the vulcanized sole?
A vulcanized sole provides superior flexibility and board feel, making it easier for skaters to feel their board under their feet for better control.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, you can remove the existing insoles to replace them with orthotic or alternative performance insoles as needed.
Troubleshooting
Shoe feels too tight around the midfoot
The model runs slightly small; if breaking them in does not alleviate pressure, consider using a thinner insole or selecting a half-size larger in future purchases.
Suede looks dull after use
Use a soft-bristled brush to lift the nap of the suede, which will restore the texture and original appearance of the material.
Tongue slides to the side
Ensure the internal elasticated tongue straps are properly aligned; if they are stretched, they may need to be adjusted or the laces tightened to lock the tongue in place.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best experience with your New Balance Numeric 272s, verify your sizing carefully given the slightly narrow fit characteristic. For maintenance, keep the suede material away from excessive moisture; if they become dusty from skate spots, use a dry suede brush to remove debris. Avoid washing these shoes in a machine, as it can compromise the adhesive strength of the vulcanized sole. If the suede becomes stained, use a dedicated suede cleaner and allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources to prevent material warping or hardening.
