The New Balance Numeric 440v2 Skate Shoes keep the lineage of New Balance's heritage of '70s-style running shoes alive. An upgraded version of the 440, the upper is constructed of dual layers in high wear areas for increased durability and features a higher collar for ankle protection while its breathable mesh panels keep your feet cool. Its C-Cap® Midsole absorbs impact and delivers optimum board feel. The Ortholite® insole provides added impact protection and internal tongue straps keep the breathable mesh tongue firmly in place for stability and comfort.

Features
Sole
Cupsole - Durable and shock-absorbing to provide the best impact protection against hard landings. Cupsoles generally last longer than a vulcanized sole but don't provide as much flexibility and board feel right out of the box.
Details
Mesh Tongue - Allows for greater breathability which means your feet feel better while you're shredding that 'crete.
Multi-Layered Toe Cap - Multiple layers adds durability so you can skate your new shoes even longer.
Ndurance® Upper - Coated suede feels and skates like regular suede but is significantly more durable. This equates to 20% longer lifespan for your shoes.
OrthoLite® Insole - OrthoLite® insoles are designed to support the unique structure of the human foot providing comfort and impact cushioning.
C-Cap® Midsole - A compression-molded EVA for superior midsole cushioning and flexibility.

Great Skate Shoes

New Balance Numeric 440 High v2 Skate Shoes - sea salt/dark brown
These are either my 3rd or 4th pair of 440's. I like them because the high top provides ankle support, and the cup sole lasts a lot longer than vulcanized options. It is a relatively soft cup sole, so I can still feel the board well. I was bummed that my favorite combination, black upper with brown gum sole was no longer available. The white is growing on me, but it does show a lot more dirt.

I love the look and feels of these shoes. Maybe put in your own insoles to max out the comfortability.

New Balance Numeric 440 High v2 Skate Shoes - black/white
Greta high top option. Super supportive and comfortable after breaking them in. The break in period is a little rough as they rub on my ankles in an uncomfortable way, but once you wear them for a bit its fine. They dont breathe as well as some others but a solid option you cant really go wrong with.

Amazing hard to put on

New Balance Numeric 440 High v2 Skate Shoes
They are super comfortable cute and high quality. The only thing I hate is how hard they are to put on but, once I brake them in more they will be easier to put on. I am a teenager with active life style who will be wearing these everyday.
