The NB Numeric 272 is a vulcanized shoe built unlike anything New Balance has made before. The all new outsole provides incredible board feel in the forefoot and the vaulted design in the heel works to reduce the dreaded heel bruise. With design cues from some of NB’s classic running silhouettes, the 272 features a clean, one-piece toe that is reinforced for durability, as well as a rubberized heel counter to increase stability.

Best vulc shoe I’ve skated in a long time. When I first got them I thought I ordered the wrong size because the toe box was wider than most brands. Then I realized this is how a shoe should fit and not be squeezing your toes together. After skating I had no pain the next day. Will definitely be buying these again.

These shoes showed up in my social feed almost every day. I loved the way they looked so I finally pulled trigger. The shoes are really sharp looking and super comfortable. I was surprised to find that the shoes are a mix of leather and canvas - that was not obvious from the photos online. Not a bad thing, I just worry that the light colored canvas will get dirty quicker. Other thing to note is the shoes are really heavy. Must be from the very thick rubber sole.
Love these shoes. Can dress them up or down. Surprisingly comfortable all day. Great shoes!
I see other reviews saying the toe is intentionally long, but for me the toe was almost a full size too long. I ordered a 10.5 and the toes were easily longer than some size 11 shoes that I have. I returned my first order and ordered a half-size smaller. Frustrated at how unusally large this shoe was.
I honestly love these shoes. They’re comfortable, easy to wear, and go with almost any outfit. Definitely worth picking up!🤙
Recieved my order of New Balance trainers really happy with them good fit and the delivery was on time would strongly recommend
The perfect work shoe. Neutral yet comfortable - look like they’d feel like a skater shoe but have tons of support, even for wide feet.
These shoes have the best board feel of any skate shoes I’ve worn. They fit like a glove, and yet they’re perfectly balanced weight wise. The insoles are very comfortable and the shoes look great overall and are stylish enough for everyday wear.
