New Balance # containment thread

[Made In China]

Anyone has some recommendations for another insole for the 440 low? I really like the shoe as it is, it is just that the balls of my feet hurt a bit after a while. Not sure if I need to wear that shoe in more or if it is the insole. I am in Europe tho, but i saw on the NB site, they sell some aftermarket insoles. And I am a 7.5 US and don't know if a 7 or 8 would be better sizewise for another insole.

Thanks in advance pals.

There were already a lot of good recommendations throw out there, but for my 440 highs I run a pair of old popcush insoles from my Crockett Highs. Adds way more cushion but I'll admit that it isn't the most supportive for my flat feet. @LebowskisRug is right tho, the stock 440 insoles are useless.

440 Insole swap recommendations:

Emerica G6 insole (arch support. Could be too thick but wasn't too thick for me when I tried them)

Etnies STI (could be too thick but good cushion)

Es Energy Foam+ (similar to the above two but is firmer)

Nike Zoom Air (not as soft as others I recommended but still better than stock 440)

State Footwear (could be a bit too thick & squishy but can work)

Lakai DeluxLite (or whatever it's called. These aren't too thick)

Any 3 or 5mm FP insole should work

Yo, thanks for that. I will look at my parents place what's laying around there. I mostly had good experiences with the Lakai insoles. I don't like insoles with arch support.

And by the way, my girl saw your signature the other day and she had to laugh. I love it when she laughs. Thanks.

What is you alls experience with breaking in the tiago 1010s

Personally, I never got used to them. The outsole is just too thick to get proper board feel. Also, because they're so thick, you end up flicking against the rubber sole a lot, which just never gave me enough grip for my flip tricks. Even worse, once they finally softened up a bit, it was because I had worn through the outer layer of the outsole completely. What is left underneath has no grip whatsoever. I went to a slippery park and couldn't even walk in them, and the board wouldn't stay on my feet for grinds even. I then realized that the rubber of the outsole is the culprit for every problem I've had with them. They broke in to feel good on my feet, but remained horrendous for technical skating. No clue how people skate these things.

It’s funny how people all have different experiences.  For me, the 1010’s were so grippy that numerous times I couldn’t move my feet into place quick enough as I approached an obstacle and would have to mission abort.

Superfeet adapt run > all those options for 440s imo. Keeps your foot sitting nice and low in the shoe but good arch support, a bit more cushion and better heel cup

Swapped mine out for some Cons insoles from my one stars, felt PERFECT

Good idea! Forgot about those! Any Lunarlon should work well in the 440s too

Never had a pair on NB to skate. Im an old dude that likes cupsoles. Narrow shoes are a no go for me. I flip my board a little but not much. A lot of curbs and just skating around jumping over manhole covers. I’m looking at the 1010 or 808. Bad idea? No shops around me have them so I’m going in blind.

If you have wide feet get the 1010, if you have super wide feet get the 1010 color ways with the mesh toe box. The 808 didnt work out for me it all, tried the 1010's and love them, I have 4 pairs sitting on ice if that says anything haha

[LebowskisRug]

Weird, of all modern skate shoes I've owned they break in but haven't blown out a single bit. Had 2 pairs already and 3 others waiting.

Stoked on the sig getting a laugh!!! 

[Mongo Lloyd]

Potential first time buyer. I’m eying the 1010 and 808, but I have no idea what size to buy. I think years ago I fit a 10.5, and would likely be ok on 10.5, but my left foot is odd and wide just past mid foot.

I really don’t know what to do here.

^ Yup! I was watching Stranger Things and other similar horror/comedy type shows late last year around Halloween and that scene from  Fear Street got a good laugh out of me!

Ight Rothdigga since it’s official now, can you leak the Reynolds pro model info. We talking before the end of 2023?  Is it cool looking?

I second this, please Rothdigga give us something...anything...cant wait to have Reynolds NB on my feet

I’m sure he’s not getting a shoe, just colorways. That’s kinda wrong to pass over dudes like Jordan or Tom Knox that deserve a shoe more based on the work already put in for said brand…especially those two in particular.

While I think him getting a shoe isnt guaranteed bigger names joining a company and getting shoes before others who have been there longer is pretty common. P rod did it on Nike followed by koston. Foy and Tiago on nb too
