FAQs
Do these shoes fit true to size?
New Balance Numeric shoes, including the 306 Jamie Foy model, tend to run small. It is generally recommended to buy a half-size larger than your standard shoe size for a comfortable fit.
Are these shoes good for beginners?
Yes, the supportive feel, durability, and impact protection make them suitable for beginners looking for a reliable skate shoe. The cupsole offers more support than a pure vulcanized shoe.
How do I clean the suede and mesh upper?
Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt. For tougher stains, use a damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap and gently scrub. Always air dry away from direct heat. Avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing.
What is the main difference between this cupsole and a vulcanized shoe?
Cupsole shoes have a more robust, molded sole unit that offers superior cushioning, impact protection, and durability. Vulcanized shoes have a thinner, more flexible sole that typically offers better board feel but less protection.
What does 'ABZORB midsole' mean?
ABZORB is New Balance's proprietary cushioning technology that absorbs shock and provides a responsive feel, helping to reduce impact on your feet during skating.
Can I wear these casually?
Yes, while designed for skateboarding, their style and comfort also make them suitable for casual everyday wear.
What is the 'TPU Controlled Reaction Device'?
This refers to a thermoplastic polyurethane insert placed around the base of the heel, designed to enhance stability and support during skating movements.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or small
These shoes are known to run small. Consider purchasing a half-size larger than your usual size. If already purchased, try wearing thinner socks or breaking them in for a few sessions.
Sole feels stiff initially
The cupsole construction and added cushioning may require a short break-in period. Skate in them for a few sessions to allow them to mold to your feet and soften.
Suede material showing wear
Use a suede brush regularly to maintain the texture. For significant wear, consider applying a suede-specific repair product or a protector spray to prevent further damage.
Tongue slides during skating
Ensure the internal tongue straps are properly utilized and snug. Re-adjust them before each skating session if necessary.
