The look of the 440 harkens back to New Balance's heritage of classic 70's style running shoes, now in a supportive high top. Its C-Cap EVA heel wedge helps to absorb impact without weighing you down, and thanks to its low profile construction, you won't have to compromise on boardfeel. The upper is constructed with dual layers in the high wear areas along with breathable mesh side panels to make the 440 not only comfortable, but extremely functional.

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
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.
ABZORB+® Insert - A New Balance custom insert with added protection in high-impact areas
C-Cap® Midsole - A compression-molded EVA for superior midsole cushioning and flexibility.

New Balance Numeric 440H Skate Shoes - black/grey
I really like these shoes. They are light and the sole is grippy. My feet used to hurt when wearing other brands. Not these plus they look cool too This is my second pair so these are tested

I don’t always like white high tops but when I do I prefer the new balance Tom Knox 440 high top color way.

New Balance Numeric 440H Skate Shoes - black/grey
I was finally able to find and purchase hi-top New Balance Skate shoes, in my size. As someone who wears a size 13 shoe, and has, over the years, had my feet get wider, these fit great. I have Plantar Fasciitis and nerve damage in both feet, and, the minute I put these shoes on, I was struck by how comfortable they were...there's no "breaking them in" feel to these shoes. I've worn New Balance Running Sneakers for decades, but, this is my first pair of hi-tops from the brand. The appear to be rare, in The 21st Century. I will be getting another pair of New Balance hi-top shoes, in the future. If you have foot problems and/or wider feet, I strongly recommend them.
