How do New Balance shoes fit?
New Balance shoes run true to size, with wide options. Here's what to know before you buy.
New Balance has a genuinely broad width range — 2A narrow to 4E extra wide — which is why wide and narrow feet love them. Length runs true to size. Like Adidas, it uses a half-size US-to-UK offset (US 10 = UK 9.5).
Fit varies by model and foot. Measure your foot length in cm and match it to New Balance's size chart, then adjust using the fit note above.
Quick tip
