FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for beginners in skateboarding?
Yes, the supportive design and durable construction make them a good choice for beginners, offering protection and stability.
How do I choose the right size?
Refer to the size chart provided by New Balance Numeric. These trainers generally fit true to size, but individual fit can vary.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the suede, rubber, and internal structure of the shoe.
What is the main benefit of the rubber reinforcement?
The rubber reinforcement significantly increases the shoe's durability, protecting it from the abrasion caused by skateboard griptape.
How long does the break-in period typically last?
The break-in period can vary, but most users find the shoes become comfortable within a few days to a week of regular wear.
Are these waterproof?
These trainers are water-resistant due to the suede and rubber materials, but they are not fully waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain or water can saturate the materials.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks dirty or stained
Use a specialized suede brush or eraser for dry dirt. For tougher stains, test a small, inconspicuous area with a slightly damp cloth and mild cleaner before cleaning the entire affected area. Always air dry.
Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable
Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow the materials to break in and conform to your feet. Gently flexing the shoe and wearing thicker socks can also help accelerate the break-in process.
Laces fraying quickly
Ensure laces are not tied too tightly, which can cause unnecessary stress. Consider replacing with more durable skate-specific laces if the issue persists.
