FAQs
Do these shoes require a break-in period?
Yes, like most performance skate shoes, the New Balance Numeric 306 Jamie Foy trainers benefit from a short break-in period to fully mold to your foot and allow the materials to flex optimally.
How do I clean the suede parts of the shoe?
For suede, use a specialized suede brush to remove dry dirt. For tougher stains, use a suede cleaner sparingly, and always test in an inconspicuous area first. Allow to air dry.
What makes the ABZORB midsole beneficial for skating?
The ABZORB midsole provides excellent cushioning and shock absorption, which is crucial for reducing the impact on your feet and joints during landings from jumps and tricks.
Are these shoes suitable for casual wear?
While designed for skateboarding, their durable construction and supportive features can make them comfortable for casual wear. However, their primary function is performance skating.
What is the purpose of the TPU Controlled Reaction Device?
This feature is located at the base of the heel and is designed to provide enhanced stability, helping to control foot movement during skateboarding maneuvers.
Why do the sizing recommendations suggest buying a half-size larger?
Customer feedback and the shoe's design indicate that the New Balance Numeric 306 Jamie Foy trainers tend to fit snugly or run small. Purchasing a half-size up is advised to achieve a more accurate and comfortable fit.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, adhesives, and construction of the shoe, particularly the suede and internal cushioning.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or small
These shoes are designed to run small. We recommend purchasing a half-size larger than your usual size. If the shoes are already purchased and feel too tight, try wearing thinner socks or consult the retailer for exchange options.
Laces fraying quickly
Ensure laces are not tied excessively tight, which can put undue stress on them. Consider replacing with durable, skateboarding-specific laces if fraying persists.
Reduced grip on the board
Check the sole for accumulated dirt or debris; clean with a damp cloth. Ensure the grip tape on your skateboard is in good condition.
Discomfort after initial wear
Allow a break-in period. Skateboarding shoes often require some wear to conform to the foot. Ensure the internal tongue-straps are adjusted for comfort and support, not excessive tightness.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Exceptional durability due to reinforced construction and suede overlays.
- Excellent impact protection from the ABZORB midsole, ideal for demanding skate tricks.
- Secure and comfortable fit with internal tongue-straps.
- Good board feel and control facilitated by the sole's design.
- Breathable upper thanks to the mesh base.
Cons
- Shoes tend to run small, requiring customers to size up.
- The cupsole design might offer less board feel than a pure vulcanized shoe for some skaters.
- Primarily designed for skateboarding, potentially less suited for casual wear if extreme comfort is prioritized over durability.
Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup:
These trainers are ready to wear out of the box. It is recommended to try them on to ensure the correct fit, especially considering they may run small. Adjust the laces to your preferred tightness for a secure feel, utilizing the internal tongue-straps for a locked-in fit.
Compatibility:
Designed primarily as skateboarding shoes, they are compatible with skateboards of all types. The tread pattern on the sole is optimized for grip on skateboard grip tape.
Care:
- Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft brush or cloth to gently remove dirt and debris from the suede and mesh. For tougher stains, a slightly damp cloth can be used, but avoid excessive water. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
- Cleaning the Sole: Wipe the sole with a damp cloth. Ensure no debris is trapped in the sole's tread.
- Suede Care: For suede sections, consider using a suede-specific cleaner or brush to maintain its appearance and texture. Protectant sprays can help repel water and stains, but test on an inconspicuous area first.
- Insole: The PU insole can be removed for separate cleaning if needed. Hand wash gently and allow to air dry completely before reinserting.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use to maintain their shape and material integrity.
