[apport]

maybe i just got an odd pair but it's not just the material, the non-mesh toe 1010's definitely fit smaller than the mesh toe, i'd say like 1/4 size down, and the toe is rounder

[Vintagebody]

Local store finally got the grey 1010's! Do they have a rubber shield underneath the ollie area like the Foy 306's?

Yes they do.

Chris Colbourn skating the new all grey 306s in his SOLUS entry:



They look great IMO.

What size are you? I have a new pair size 10

[saltusnaut]

i size 1010s down .5 now and it feels like my 440s size wise

[3D X-Ray Vision]

My true size is 10.5, I wear 11 in 598's and 533's and 255's, 10 in 213's, and I got my 1010's in size 10 and they are perfect

[saltusnaut]

thanks guys. Im trying to decide if I dare ordering some 1010 online. kinda got burned with the 440.
I ordered 440 in the same size as I wear in 372 and 306 slips.
Couldnt get used to how long the toe feels on 440

Would Oz be getting different colours of the 440 than the Northern Hemisphere, and vice versa? I haven't seen these in here yet and I'm sure they'll be appreciated, that clear sole is clean AF.

With the way shipping is currently, OZ will actually be getting stuff quicker than the US in a lot of cases.  Our vulcanized stuff is showing up on time but cupsoles are taking much longer to be made and shipped to us.

Anyone tried a Footprint insole in a 440? I like them for the most part but they're a bit too thin feeling and make my feet more sore than a vulc. Thinking of trying a different insole in them.


Also does anyone have feedback on how a 306 skates compared to say the new Vans skate line? I don't love the look but they're comfortable and felt pretty supportive for a vulc.

I put footprints in my 440s. I quite enjoyed them that way. I recommend it. I wear a size 12, and used whatever is the size below that for fp insoles. I think they’re considered 11-11.5. I think it was on fp’s website to drop down a size from the shoes you’re putting them in, but I can’t remember for sure.

Hope that helps.

Which model insole there are so many

[IUTSM]

took me months of walking around in them as a secondary shoe, but the 440s are finally fairly comfortable to walk/skate in. pretty narrow for me, but they're alright.

are the 508s wider in the toe?

I’ve only used the game changers, but I really like them. They work great with mids and highs, but not as well with lows since they’re so thick and raise your foot a bit. They do work in some lows though. I thought with 1010s and dunks they’re great, but didn’t work with janoskis. 440s and blazer mids they are totally fine.

^Best colorway out so far. I can't tell if the contrasting color is gray or dark green though

Looks green to me. Looks like it’s just white and green colors on this shoe. Nothing else.

Guess Tiago saw some cricket shoes and liked the look

[Trilogy]

I hate to skate leather shoes, board just dont grip.

[jakedilla]

Really like the way nb has been using popular color ways of non-skate shoes, especially with the Tiago’s. That white/green model reminds me of the aime leon dore 550s in a good way.

[hobochimp]

The dark green sole is so nice

if they used an off white/cream midsole like the ALD 550’s that colorway would be perfect
teddy santis needs to do some numeric colorways, all his made in stuff has been fire so far

[eSK3]

808’s incoming!

I picked up some black 1010s today as backups for when my current 440s are dusted. I’m a little bummed I paid like $10-15 over market price, but it was the first time in a while that I found them in my size in my city, so fuck it, I’m happy.

I didn’t want to derail the Super Feet thread with this question but as I was looking at the NB shaped by Super Feet insoles I noticed a “dunk-a-like” in the last frame. Not a Numeric but I was wondering if anyone knows what this shoe is so I can get a better look?
