New Balance # containment thread

Just copped the colorful 1010s. Hoping for the best on the sizing. Run a 12 in almost everything and bought a 12 here. Trying not to size down and squeeze my feet into smaller shoes just for "boardfeel" or whatever these days so I hope they're at least close to TTS.

Personally I find they run a half size big

I have the black suede with the blue sole 1010s. They fit perfectly TTS, especially after breaking in. No heel slip at all.

Thanks @Allen. and @adambomb . I scrolled back a few pages. and saw some other posters saying sizing was either spot on or a little big. The leather and suede fit might differ slightly as well, idk. I'll give em a shot and report back

EDIT: not sure where I got them being made from leather from. looks like they're all suede.

Colourful? Which are these, did i miss a pair?

[Bubblegum Tate]

Maybe these? Only pair I can think of that’s “colorful” even tho it’s mainly black color but an icy colored sole.

@rothdigga what is the ETA for the next 420?  (been a long time gone!)

My bad! I meant these. Not actually that colorful 



And they fit! the heel lock wasn't perfect when I first put em on but after loosening them up a bit by walking around for a few hours they're fitting real good. So +1 for them fitting TTS, at least for my bird ass feet.

July 10 launch!  Flyer went out to the shops and a bunch of them should have them coming in.  Check with your local to see if they snagged some.

This may sound strange, but anyone find the 306 sole carries so much dust onto their boards? For some reason whenever I wear the 306s (which is often, they are great) my board gets so dusty so much quicker than in other shoes.

Anyone know anything about this colorway becoming a thing? I saw this pair listed on poshmark, the listing included photos of the SAMPLE tags inside the shoe. I wonder if it was an early sample to those grey/red ones that came out a while back...

Looks like some samples that never made it out of that stage, that's my guess.  I don't remember seeing that color originally, but I see SO many shoes that sometimes I don't keep track.

I really dig it,, the black N does it for me.. Seller said they measure a US 9, bought em right away. We'll see when they get here!

On my second pair of 508's and the sole keeps sliding at the heel. Literally feel like my heel is going to fall out of the shoe every time i push. Other than that, board feel is on point for the amount of comfort, grip and durability these have. Way better for my feet. Does the 1010 have boardfeel like the 508's once broken in? I'd like to try em out.

Found my old 420's today ... looking forward to more being released soon

So fwiw, depending on how you like a shoe to fit (and obviously the shape of your foot will play a part too), these hold my heel well but have plenty of room for me in the toe box.  I personally like that, but if you like shoes that are snug everywhere just be aware of that.  @Gay Imp Sausage Metal skates them too I believe so he can weigh in as well.  My pair are also the synthetic kinda plastic/rubber type and not the faux suede, so I'm not sure how that factors in either, but I honestly love them and they are worth a try either way.

I've skated a few pairs of these as well.  The heel lock is solid, and oversized toe box as mentioned.   Any colorway with the gum sole and faux suede upper are the real winners for this shoe.

yes, the the faux suede ones, not the rubber ones! Break in almost immediately and skate really well; love the heel lock and the room to move my toes around. They are super durable too imho

Regret sleeping on that pair!  Those look great

[Gray Imp Sausage Metal]

Yeah, I should have copped 3 pairs of the same color! They look so good I’d even rock them as regular chill shoes

[Joe Davola]

I’ve never cared for NB making skate shoes, and I thought the 1010 looked ridiculously ugly in online photos, but I saw a few pairs in a shop’s display window and almost wanted to cry on account of their beauty.

[z_tx]

when do these drop in the US? This is my favorite colorway by far
