Is the Numeric 574 Vulc good for skating?

Yes. The vulcanized rubber sole gives good board feel and grip, and the suede upper resists wear from grip tape. It is a slim, low-profile skate shoe rather than a heavily cushioned one.

How does it fit compared with the regular 574?

It fits closer to the foot than the standard 574, and some buyers say the medium width runs narrow. A wide width is offered, so choose that if you have broad feet.

Does it have good arch support?

It has an Ortholite insole for cushioning, but the vulcanized sole is thin and flat. Riders who want more support often swap in a thicker aftermarket insole.

No. The suede and mesh upper is not waterproof and there is no Gore-Tex version. It is best kept for dry weather or light use.

Is $39.96 a good price?

Yes. That is the best new price across 8 stores as of November 8, 2026, and the lowest price seen since November 5. There is no cheaper recent price to wait for.

What sizes and widths are available?

Sizes run from US 3 to 14, in medium and wide widths. Availability varies by colorway.
