Why We Like The New Balance Numeric 272 Shoe
The New Balance Numeric 272 Shoe is a skate shoe a vulcanized outsole that provides incredible board feel in the forefoot while a vaulted design in the heel works to reduce the heel bruise when we're skating big drops. With design cues from some of NB’s classic running silhouettes, the 272 features a clean, one-piece toe that is reinforced for durability against the wear and tear of constant ollieing.

Look/Feel Great, Coming Apart Sooner Than Expected
New Balance skate shoes are so underrated. They are comfortable, look great, are super versatile and a bunch of people always ask me about them because it seems like most people don't even know these exist. For the most part these have lived up to that, but I've had them for 6 months and one is already starting to come apart at the edge of the ball of the foot. I've been buying New Balance shoes for probably over 10 years and was a bit surprised as this is not the quality I've come to expect. Most of the shoes I've bought have lasted for years without damage like this. I've had this experience regularly with Vans which cost a fraction, but I pay more for New Balance because they have really felt like the quality was worth it. Up to now I feel that I got what I paid for. Hopefully this pair is just a fluke and this is not the new normal.

Narrow toe box
I have a wide foot and usually the New Balance size 6.5 wide (D) fits me perfectly. In this style of shoe, the front of the shoe slopes downward, and I found that it pinched my toes, so it was not as comfortable as other styles I’ve had.

Fit is narrow
- Familiarity:
- I returned this product before using it
The quality is really nice but the fit runs pretty narrow. I had to return the shoe immediately because it was too narrow, reminded me of a soccer cleat. Careful, I ended up loosing $22.34 from what I paid Backcountry to return this. Even though they were never worn outside and only tried on once. Buyer beware!

Nice and comfortable
Comfortable, attractive, well made. The soul feels heavy and stiff compared to court shoes I wear regularly.
