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

Switching to New Balance from another brand? Don't assume the same number fits — check your foot length against their chart. See how to measure your foot.
