Product Information

Full details

The New Balance Numeric Jamie Foy 306C is a high-performance cupsole trainer designed for skateboarders who demand durability and impact protection without sacrificing the modern aesthetic of a classic skate shoe. Featuring a robust suede construction, internal ABZORB cushioning, and a supportive heel design, this shoe is ideal for both technical skate sessions and daily casual wear; however, users should be aware that the reinforced cupsole construction may feel slightly stiffer initially compared to thinner vulcanized alternatives.

FAQs

Is the 306C suitable for wide feet?

The 306C has a performance-oriented fit. While they provide excellent lockdown, individuals with very wide feet may prefer to go up a half size.

Can I put these in the washing machine?

No, machine washing can damage the suede upper and compromise the bond of the cupsole. Always clean by hand.

What is the difference between the 306C and the 306 vulc?

The 306C uses a cupsole construction for added durability and impact protection, while the standard 306 uses a vulcanized sole for better board feel and flexibility.

Does the suede require protective spray?

Applying a water and stain repellent spray specifically formulated for suede can help maintain the appearance, though test on a small hidden area first.

Are these shoes true to size?

Yes, they generally run true to standard adult UK sizing for New Balance Numeric footwear.

What is the purpose of the TPU heel piece?

The TPU Controlled Reaction Device in the heel provides added stability and helps the shoe maintain its shape during lateral movements.

Troubleshooting

Tongue slides to the side while skating

Ensure the laces are securely passed through the tongue-strap loops to anchor it firmly.

Surface dirt on suede

Use a dry suede brush or a soft-bristled toothbrush to gently lift dirt from the suede nap.

Feeling too stiff out of the box

The cupsole construction is robust; wearing the shoes for short periods daily will break them in and increase flexibility over time.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent impact protection from the ABZORB midsole
  • High durability due to reinforced rubber underlays
  • Secure fit provided by the integrated tongue-straps
  • Versatile style suitable for skating and casual use

Cons

  • Cupsole may require a break-in period for maximum flexibility
  • Suede material requires specific cleaning techniques to avoid damage
  • Stiffer than thin-soled vulcanized skate trainers

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longest lifespan for your 306C trainers, perform a quick inspection after particularly wet or dusty skate sessions.

  • Cleaning: Since the upper is crafted from suede, avoid soaking the shoes. Use a dry soft-bristled brush to remove dirt and dust. For stubborn stains, use a dedicated suede eraser or a cloth lightly dampened with a specialized suede cleaner.
  • Fit: The shoes feature internal tongue-straps, so ensure your laces are threaded through the tongue loop to prevent the tongue from sliding while you walk or skate.
  • Care: If the shoes get wet, air dry them naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, as high heat can warp the rubber components and degrade the adhesive bonding the sole.
