FAQs
Do these shoes run true to size?
New Balance advises that these shoes tend to run small. It is recommended to purchase a half-size larger than your usual size for a better fit.
What is the main difference between this cupsole version and a vulcanized 306?
The cupsole construction offers enhanced durability and impact protection compared to the vulcanized version, which typically provides a more direct board feel.
How do I clean the suede parts of the trainers?
Use a suede brush to remove dirt. For stains, a specialized suede cleaner is recommended. Avoid using water directly on the suede.
Are these shoes suitable for beginners?
Yes, the enhanced durability and impact protection make them a good choice for beginners, though the sizing should be carefully considered.
What does the TPU Controlled Reaction Device do?
This feature is placed around the base of the heel to provide added stability during skating maneuvers.
Can I wear these for activities other than skateboarding?
While designed for skateboarding, their comfort and support make them suitable for general casual wear. However, for high-impact sports other than skating, specialized footwear is recommended.
What is the benefit of the internal ABZORB midsole?
The ABZORB midsole provides significant impact absorption, protecting your feet and joints during landings and repetitive impacts common in skateboarding.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight.
This is a common observation with this model. It is recommended to wear them for short periods initially, allowing them to break in. If still uncomfortable, consider purchasing a half-size larger in the future.
Laces fraying or breaking quickly.
Ensure laces are not tied excessively tight, which can cause premature wear. Consider replacing with more durable skateboarding-specific laces.
Reduced grip on the board.
Check the sole for excessive dirt or debris. Clean the sole with a damp cloth. If the sole is significantly worn down, it may be time for a new pair of shoes.
Suede material appears dirty or stained.
Use a suede brush to gently remove surface dirt. For stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner and follow product instructions. Avoid using water directly on the suede.
