Product Information
Full details
The New Balance Numeric 340 is a high-performance, vulcanized skate shoe tailored for skaters who prioritize board feel and impact protection. It is an excellent choice for daily skate sessions, offering a sleek low-profile aesthetic and a reinforced suede construction; however, users should note that the vulcanized sole is best suited for technical street skating rather than heavy-duty long-distance walking.

FAQs
Are these true to size?
Yes, the New Balance Numeric 340 fits standard UK sizing for adults.
Can I use these for running?
These shoes are designed primarily for skateboarding and casual wear, not for long-distance running or high-impact athletic training.
How do I best protect the suede?
Applying a water-repellent spray designed for suede can help prevent moisture damage and staining.
Do these shoes come with extra laces?
No, the shoes arrive with the standard laces already installed.
Is the sole stiff or flexible?
Due to the vulcanized construction, the sole is highly flexible to ensure maximum board feel.
Troubleshooting
Sole separation from the upper
Apply a specialized shoe glue designed for skate shoes and clamp the area firmly until fully cured.
Suede becomes stained or dirty
Use a dry suede eraser or soft brush to gently lift dirt; avoid liquid cleaners which can leave water marks.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These shoes are ready to wear out of the box. To maintain the integrity of the suede material, it is recommended to use a suede-specific brush to remove loose dirt and dust after sessions. If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, which can cause the material to stiffen or crack. Avoid machine washing, as the heat and agitation can compromise the adhesive strength of the vulcanized sole.
