1/5 quality control.... literally
I bought 5 pairs of the newest colorway and the all fit different. Some had a thicker heel, some a smaller toe box. 1 pair out of the five were actually good. New balance Numeric has been struggling with quality control for a while. Just to give you an example: for me, all vans fit the same, VANS!?! They should be worse fitting than new balance. Don't get me wrong though, I do love new balance a whole lot, especially to skate in. All in all, the Tiago is a great shoe and deserves to be your skate shoe, at least once. I highly recommend them, butter!! Thanks new balance and Tiago!... Show more

A few flaws need improvement.
1. Not true to size. I wear a 7 and had to get a 6.5 in the 1010's. They run at least a half size too large. 2. The straps the tie the tongue in place feel terrible on the bottom of my feet. It's like walking on pebbles. Terrible. I like the out sole grip. I like the thickness of the flick shield strip. I LOVE the laces. Love the style but I wouldn't buy another pair. In fact, I wouldn't take another pair for free. Big disappointment.... Show more

Great even if you don't skate
Not really skating like I used to so these shoes are just my go-to everyday shoes for everyday activities. I wanted to buy a pair to support Tiago who is one of the most impressive and legit pro skaters at the moment. His pop and stule is ridiculous. Channeling my inner Tiago I felt extra fresh moving around the city, picking up the kids and shopping in my brown suede 1010s. Here are three main things I've noticed so far: 1 - Tiago 1010s are comfy. You can walk a fair few miles in these and your feet will thank you. 2 - Tiago 1010s are scared of some rain. Living in a city where rain is the usual forecast, very wet toe caps doesn't mean wet toes thankfully. 3 - Tiago 1010s can go off road. I recently hiked everyday for a couple of weeks and yhe Tiago's gave me the ... MoreNot really skating like I used to so these shoes are just my go-to everyday shoes for everyday activities.

I won't like, on slippery slopes you have to tread carefully but that's also common sense. So year, I'm very satisfied with my purchase of NB Tiago 1010s and can easily see myself buying another pair if these ever die - which seems highly unlikely.... Show more

Sweet kicks
Always have to order half a size up with NB.Shoes are comfy with a bit more arch support than I'm familiar with in a skate shoe. Which is exactly what I was looking for.There's these little ankle support paddings that took a little to get used too. At first they gave me that feeling you get when your socks are sliding down your foot, which was a little annoying at first but not horrible and quickly got used to it.I also noticed the fine treads on the green part of the sole quickly wore away around the edge.Over all they're super cool looking and detailed. They look more like a hiking shoe than a riding shoe and offer good arch support for everyday wear.Would recommend... Show more

The strongest skate shoe from N.B. !!
This is my second pair and I have do not have to second guess on the price range. Worth every penny. With a cupsole feel with more blocky, webbed feet, the Endurance grips with homage to S. William's O.G. shoe's tread. With lighter and stronger upper materials, the shoes can last you forever. The Browns have an extra detail to note with the upper suede to replace the mesh to stablize the shoelace box but is not bad to see me over heat in them. Side note: The Fantomfit saved my ankle from a pull that would have been worse in alot of other skate shoes and my first pair are still running strong!!... Show more
