FAQs

Do the New Balance Numeric 480s fit true to size?

No, this model fits small. We recommend purchasing a half-size larger than your usual size for the best fit.

Can these be used for sports other than skateboarding?

While designed for skating, their durable construction and cushioning make them suitable for casual wear and light athletic activities.

How do I keep the black suede looking new?

Avoid wearing them in wet conditions, and keep them clean using a soft dry brush specifically designed for suede care.

Does the shoe provide good arch support?

The inclusion of the Abzorb insole provides consistent, reliable support for typical skate and everyday movements.

Are these shoes heavy?

Despite their durable construction and protective features, the FuelCell midsole helps maintain a balance between weight and performance.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight across the midfoot

Loosen the laces significantly starting from the bottom eyelets to adjust the tension, or consider if you sized up correctly per the recommendation.

Suede is showing white marks after use

This is often residue from grip tape or dust. Use a suede brush to restore the nap and clean the surface.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Excellent impact protection from the Abzorb insole
Durable suede build resists damage from skateboard grip tape
Classic retro styling offers versatile wearability
Responsive cushioning via the FuelCell midsole

Cons

Runs small, requiring buyers to size up
Suede material requires careful cleaning to avoid water damage
Stiffer feel initially compared to casual fashion sneakers

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the best experience, start by choosing a size half-larger than your standard measurement due to the snug fit of this silhouette. When lacing, use the eyelets that offer the most lockdown for your foot shape to prevent heel slippage while skating.

For care and maintenance:

Cleaning: Use a dry, soft-bristled brush to remove dust and surface dirt from the suede.
Stain Removal: For stubborn stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner or eraser; avoid saturating the material with water.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the black fabric from fading.
Drying: If the shoes become wet, air dry them naturally away from heat sources like radiators to prevent the suede from becoming stiff.
