Overview

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.

New Balance Numeric 440 High V2 Skate Shoes - brown/olive

I had been skating in some crappy Airwalk shoes from big 5. My feet were killing me. I tried these new balance 440s. Oh what a difference! So much support for a skate shoe. It took about 1 session to get used to but now Ill never go back.

New Balance Numeric 440 High V2 Skate Shoes

the sole wore through on my flipping foot eventually and I add shoe goo to make a toe cap, but besides that these are the most comfortable skate shoe ever, nothing even close. I hope they never stop making them.

Comfortable 10

Resilient upper 10
Board feel 10
All day wear 10
The actual bottom sole?
Thats the weak spot.
I burnt three them in roughly a month.
Grip toe is this shoes kryptonite. The gum sole at the toe and around the ball of the foot started going bald in a week.

But! Theyre so good,Im going to break my heart all over again.
Next time Ill see about getting a different sole color.

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.
