New Balance Numeric Reynolds 933 - Black/Navy - 9 UK

They feature a triple-stitch reinforced toe, an NDurance rubber outsole for grip and durability, enhanced cushioning via the Abzorb midsole, and a secure fit system, all designed to withstand skate abuse and provide performance.

The shoes offer slight padding in the collar and an internal heel counter, which provide a degree of support. They are designed for board feel but offer more support than minimalist skate shoes.

The black suede uppers are complemented by a triple-stitch reinforced toe, a common skate shoe feature designed to significantly extend the life of the shoe in high-wear areas.

Fantom Fit refers to New Balance's design approach that aims to provide a fantastic fit and support by using a skeletally engineered upper for a lightweight, yet rigid structure.

Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt from the suede. For tougher marks, use a slightly damp cloth. Avoid soaking the shoes or using harsh cleaning agents. Always air dry away from direct heat.

While they offer cushioning, these shoes are specifically designed for skateboarding. For running or general athletic activities, dedicated running or training shoes would be more appropriate.

This is a feature integrated around the heel of the shoe designed to improve stability, particularly during impact and landings.

These shoes are noted to run small. It is recommended to purchase a half-size larger than your usual size. If you have already purchased them, consider wearing them with thinner socks or allowing for a break-in period.

Ensure the NDurance rubber outsole is clean. Debris or dirt can reduce grip. Wipe the sole with a damp cloth. If the outsole is heavily worn, it may need replacement.

Break in the shoes gradually by wearing them for shorter periods initially. Ensure they are laced properly to provide adequate support without being too restrictive. The internal heel counter and cushioning are designed to conform to your foot over time.
