FAQs

Why do these shoes recommend buying a half-size larger?

The New Balance Numeric Reynolds 933 are designed with a specific fit in mind that tends to run smaller than standard sizing. Purchasing a half-size up is advised to ensure a comfortable and accurate fit.

What is the benefit of the triple-stitch reinforced toe?

The triple-stitch reinforcement in the toe area significantly increases the shoe's durability, making it more resistant to the abrasion and stress common in skateboarding, thereby extending the shoe's lifespan.

How do the mesh panels contribute to the shoe's performance?

The mesh panelling promotes airflow throughout the shoe, enhancing breathability. This helps to keep your feet cooler and more comfortable, especially during extended periods of activity or in warmer conditions.

What is 'Fantom Fit' technology?

Fantom Fit is a skeletal overlay system that provides a snug, supportive fit without adding weight. It works to enhance comfort and stability during movement.

Is the cushioning suitable for impact protection?

Yes, the co-moulded full-length Abzorb midsole is designed to absorb impact effectively, providing excellent cushioning and shock absorption, which is beneficial for landing tricks in skateboarding or for general comfort.

How should I clean the suede and canvas parts of the shoe?

For suede, use a suede brush or eraser. For canvas and suede, a slightly damp cloth is recommended, followed by air drying away from direct heat. Avoid machine washing.

What is the purpose of the TPU mid-foot shank?

The TPU mid-foot shank provides added torsional rigidity and support to the arch of the foot, enhancing stability and helping to prevent the shoe from twisting unnaturally during activity.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or small.

As per product advice, these shoes tend to run small. Consider purchasing a half-size larger than your usual size for a more comfortable fit.

Suede appears scuffed or dirty.

Use a dedicated suede brush or eraser to gently clean the suede. For stubborn marks, a lightly dampened cloth can be effective, followed by air drying.

Laces come undone frequently.

Ensure laces are tied securely. Consider using a double knot or exploring alternative lacing techniques if this is a persistent issue.

Reduced grip on the outsole.

Check the NDurance rubber outsole for embedded debris or excessive wear. Clean the sole with a damp cloth. If the tread is significantly worn, it may be time to consider replacement.

Care: To maintain the appearance and longevity of your New Balance Numeric Reynolds 933 shoes:

  1. Cleaning Suede: Use a soft brush or suede eraser to gently remove dirt and scuff marks from the suede uppers. For tougher stains, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by air drying away from direct heat.
  2. Cleaning Canvas & Mesh: Wipe the canvas and mesh areas with a damp cloth. Avoid excessive soaking.
  3. Sole Unit: Clean the rubber outsole with a damp cloth or a mild soap solution if necessary. Ensure it is dry before use.
  4. Drying: Always air dry the shoes. Never place them in a washing machine or dryer, and avoid direct heat sources like radiators, as this can damage the materials.
