No, these New Balance shoes tend to run small. It is advised to buy a half-size larger than you normally would for a better fit.

What material is the outsole made of?

How should I clean the suede parts of the shoe?

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or small

These shoes are known to run small. It is recommended to purchase a half-size larger than your usual size. If already purchased, try wearing thinner socks or allow for a longer break-in period.

Reduced grip on the board

Ensure the rubber outsole is clean and free of dirt or debris. For persistent issues, the outsole may be worn down and replacement may be necessary.

Tongue slips during skating

Ensure the laces are threaded through the lace loops (if applicable) or tied tightly. Adjusting the lacing pattern can also help secure the tongue.

Premature wear on upper materials

While designed for durability, aggressive skating can accelerate wear. Ensure the rubber underlays are intact and consider using skate wax on specific areas prone to friction if needed.
