You might be wearing shoes that are too small. They might fit well length-wise but it sounds like you need more width. Get fitted at a running store and go .5 down from what they recommend for running shoes (unless your feet are wide). I had this same issue with 8 and 8.5. After getting fitted for 10 in running shoes, I switched to 9.5 for skate shoes, and haven’t experienced that pain.

Could be, usually I get +.5 on NB# but these 1010 were my usual size. On 808 I can go tts or + .5 and even tho the bigger size feels better the tts doesn't hurt like this one

[YeoWhattup]

First time I used my 1010 the highlighted part (only on my left foot) hurt like hell to the point I couldn't walk.
This happened to anybody else?
I'll try to walk them more to see if it goes away

Had this happen to me recently, I normally wear 440s and tried some 212s. I think it’s a break in period thing cause it went away. Try folding them like a baseball glove and looses the laces. Hopefully that helps

You're probably right since yesterday I tried some brand new 808 in size 8 and had the same issue. Had the same in another color and didn't happened.

I removed the inner tongue starps from my 440 highs and they feel much better. They're actually one my favorite shoes now. It seems the tongue stays nicely in place even with one strap.

These are coming home with me

[YeoWhattup]

Grey and gum is such a good look

[YeoWhattup]

I just got my first pair of the new 425s and I’m really digging them. Got the all white with blue and grey accents. They fit tts imo and feels great for the price. Gunna start skating them once my 440s are done

NB# 1010 X Rone

[rikki]

Those 508's look awesome. How would you guys compare the 440's (low) and the 508's? Any significant differences?
Been extremely happy with my 440 lows.

someone just told me that "the higher the number, the more tech" in new balance shoes. is there any truth to that? so the 1010 has the most tech of any skate shoe

[close]

Yeah, within NB's models, the 1010 would be their most tech and 22 their most basic. I think numeric also uses it for cupsole vs vulc... Vulc is on the low end, cup on the high end.

[close]

Ah, I wonder if there was any reason behind the numbers. Guess I like medium tech lol

[close]

The skater gets to chose the number usually. Brandon Westgate's shoe is the 508, which is the area code for Massachusetts

Brandon's first shoe with NB Numeric was the 913, which had significantly more tech. However, I believe that, when he saw the price point of the 913s, he wanted to make sure that the people who wanted to support his skating would actually be able to purchase his model. So, he went to NB with an idea of reducing it to a simpler shoe, and I would assume that the reduction of tech fit in nicely with the drop from the 900s level to the 500s level, although not sure if he had the intent of making it his area code going into the second project or if it was something that came about as a result of it.

all these 1010 colorways coming out are really making the 808 look lame in comparison.

I wish my toes liked that shoe.

rone 1010s are retailing at $180

so is the tread ass on the 1010s? should i stick to vans for the time being?

I'm skating a pair of 1010s right now, after skating 440 highs and Crockett highs before that. The 1010s feel similarly grippy to the Crcoketts and the thread is holding up well so far. I only skate Mob too for what it's worth.

For me they last longer than Crockett Highs. I have a pair of 1010 where one shoe has a lot of bald spots and it still grips great whereas every pair (4) of Crocketts I had had some sorta sole separation well before this.

making the request for a 440 high in this colorway plz

[Vintagebody]

Does anybody know if the Tyler Surrey 440s are US only? I really want those shoes...

[eSK3]

Definitely not ass. The shoe is made so well the sole gives out before the upper does.

I’ve been lurking enough and finally decided to pull the trigger on my first pair of 440s. Getting some lows but I really like the highs as well so I plan on copping a pair of those later when I see a colorway that catches my eye.

Should be a good trigger pull. Been extremely happy with my first ever 440s, having skated them for about a month now. No complaints whatsoever.

Which color did you end up getting? 440s are great imo, hope they work out for you

[Sila]

440's are one of my favorite skate shoes ever. Can't wait until vegan ones are finally available.
