FAQs
Are these true to size?
No, the New Balance Numeric 272 is known to run small. We recommend purchasing one size larger than your usual size.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the suede material and weaken the vulcanized bonding process of the sole.
Are these suitable for wet weather?
The suede construction is not waterproof or water-resistant, so they are best worn in dry conditions.
What is the primary material used?
The exterior is constructed from high-quality suede, chosen for its durability and abrasion resistance.
Does the shoe provide arch support?
The 272 is a low-profile skate shoe focused on board feel and stability; it does not feature specialized high-arch support.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight across the midfoot
The shoes run small by design; try wearing thinner socks to create more room or ensure you have sized up appropriately.
Tongue slides to one side while walking
Ensure the elasticated tongue straps are properly positioned underneath the laces during each wear.
Surface dirt on the white suede
Use a dry suede eraser or a soft-bristled brush to gently lift dirt without applying water.
Pros and Cons

- Internal straps keep the fit secure during movement
Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Numeric 272s remain in good condition, it is vital to perform regular maintenance:
- Sizing Adjustment: Due to the small fit, always account for extra space when ordering. If you are a 9.5, look for a 10.5 to avoid pressure points.
- Cleaning: Use a specialized suede brush to remove surface dirt and dust. Avoid getting the shoes completely soaked, as this can damage the suede texture and compromise the glue on the vulcanized sole.
- Storage: Keep away from direct sunlight for extended periods, as the blue dye may fade. Store in a cool, dry area.
- Rotation: If using for heavy skating, try to rotate your shoes to allow the internal materials to dry out from sweat, which prevents odor and premature degradation.
