Product Information

Full details

The New Balance Numeric 306C is a high-performance skate trainer designed for skaters who prioritize impact protection and stability without sacrificing board feel. Ideal for daily street skating, this cupsole model features a durable suede construction and advanced cushioning tech; however, users should note that the stiff cupsole structure may require a short breaking-in period compared to thinner vulcanized alternatives.

FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

Yes, they generally fit standard adult sizing, though the internal straps provide a tighter fit than non-skate trainers.

Is the 306C good for walking?

While designed for skating, the ABZORB midsole makes them comfortable enough for all-day wear if you prefer a supportive, firm-soled shoe.

Can I put these in the washing machine?

No. Machine washing will ruin the suede and potentially degrade the internal cushioning and adhesive components.

What is the difference between the 306 and 306C?

The 306C is a cupsole version, providing more rigid support and impact protection compared to the original 306 series.

Do the tongue straps stretch out over time?

The straps will relax slightly after consistent use to provide a customized fit, but they are designed to maintain their tension.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight initially

The internal tongue straps are designed to be snug. Loosen the laces significantly before putting the shoes on to relieve pressure while breaking in the material.

Suede looks dull after skating

Use a suede-specific brush to lift the nap of the material. If stained, use a dry cleaning eraser specifically designed for suede.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent impact protection thanks to ABZORB technology
  • Reinforced heel stability with the TPU device
  • Secure lockdown fit with internal tongue straps
  • Highly durable suede construction for longevity
  • Versatile design suitable for both skate and casual wear

Cons

  • Cupsole build is stiffer than vulcanized shoes initially
  • Material may be warm during summer sessions
  • Requires a break-in period for optimal board feel

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your 306C trainers remain in top condition, follow these steps:

  1. Breaking In: Wear the shoes for light walking for the first 24 hours to allow the suede and internal straps to conform to your foot shape.
  2. Cleaning: Use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt and debris. Avoid soaking the suede in water, as this can stiffen the material.
  3. Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the adhesive and foam materials from degrading.
  4. Insoles: The PU insoles are removable; if they become damp after a sweaty session, remove them to air dry independently of the shoe.
