  • Our take on the New Balance Numeric 480

    The New Balance Numeric 480 is a skate shoe built on the 1980s basketball silhouette, with a suede, leather and mesh upper, a foam midsole and a full rubber outsole. It stands out for its Ortholite insole, reflective details and a high-cut padded collar, and it is one of the more affordable cupsoles in the Numeric line. Reviewers call it a comfortable, durable skate shoe that also works as a daily sneaker, though some find it heavy and stiff out of the box. It suits skaters who want board feel with cushioning, and anyone after a wide, retro-looking court shoe.

    What reviewers say

    Owners describe the Numeric 480 as a solid, comfortable skate shoe that lasts and doubles as a casual sneaker. The main complaints are weight and a stiff sole at first, plus sizing that runs big for some.

    What people mention
    • WeightCriticisedOwners say the shoe feels heavy, especially for flip tricks and long sessions.
    • Break-inMixedSeveral note the sole and upper are stiff at first and take a few sessions to soften.
    • DurabilityPraisedSuede and rubber hold up well against grip tape, with little blowout at the ollie area.
    • ComfortPraisedThe Ortholite insole and padded collar make it comfortable for all-day wear.
    • FitMixedThe wide fit suits broad feet, but some buyers find it runs large and size down.
    • BreathabilityCriticisedThe leather and suede upper traps heat, so feet get warm in summer.

    Questions and answers

    Is the New Balance Numeric 480 good for skating?
    Yes. It has a full rubber outsole, reinforced suede and leather panels and a cushioned Ortholite insole. It is a cupsole shoe, so board feel is moderate rather than minimal.
    How does the Numeric 480 fit?
    It is listed as a wide fit and many owners say it runs large, so consider going half a size down. The padded high collar holds the ankle snugly.
    Is the Numeric 480 waterproof?

    About 16.9 oz per shoe in a common size. That is heavier than many vulcanized skate shoes, which owners notice on long sessions.

    Yes. Reviewers say the sole and upper start stiff and soften after a few skate sessions. Wear them around the house first.
